Vorwerk, the leading direct-selling company for high-quality household appliances in Europe, has officially launched the Thermomix TM7, setting new standards for smart kitchen technology. The device is now available for pre-order at €1,549, with deliveries starting the second week of April 2025.
The Thermomix TM7 isn't just another kitchen gadget; it evolves the functionality of its predecessor, the TM6. This latest model includes significant upgrades: most prominent is its expansive 10-inch touchscreen display, which offers clearer readability and intuitive usability akin to tablet navigation. Cooking enthusiasts can easily follow recipes and view step-by-step instructions presented clearly on the larger screen.
One of the most notable advancements is the revamped motor. The new Vorwerk synchronous motor operates at 500 watts with speeds ranging from 40 to 10,700 RPM, but it also operates more quietly—measuring only 30 dB(A) at level one, compared to the TM6's initial 63 dB(A). This reduction enhances the overall cooking experience, allowing for peaceful meal preparations.
Dr. Thomas Stoffmehl, spokesperson for Vorwerk Group, emphasized the transformative aspect of the TM7, stating, "Der Thermomix® TM7 ist weit mehr als ein Küchengerät - er ist ein smartes Ökosystem, das sich kontinuierlich weiterentwickelt." Reflecting on the community feedback, he also added, "Durch die enge Verbindung mit der Thermomix® Community und kontinuierliche Innovationen hat sich das Gerät als unverzichtbarer Helfer etabliert."
The TM7 retains the heating and mixing capabilities of the TM6, but also introduces many upgraded features such as:
- A larger and improved integrated scale capable of measuring up to 3,000 grams and the ability to display negative weights, allowing for precise ingredient measurements.
- An optimized heating system of 1,000 watts, which reaches maximum temperatures of 120 degrees Celsius.
- Innovative cooking modes, including the new ‘open cooking’ feature, which allows for simmering with the lid off.
- A redesigned Varoma container with 45% more volume for steaming, making it easier to prepare larger quantities at once.
Along with focusing on user experience, Vorwerk also emphasizes its commitment to sustainability. The TM7's casing is made of 30% recycled materials, showcasing the company’s dedication to eco-friendly practices, satisfying growing consumer demand for sustainable products.
Interestingly, the transition to the TM7 is accompanied by what Vorwerk calls a 'farewell bundle' for the outgoing TM6 model. This special offer includes additional accessories such as a second mixing bowl and spiralizer, allowing consumers one last chance to obtain the popular device before it is phased out. This limited-time option is particularly attractive to those who have long awaited the unique innovations Thermomix offers.
Looking to the future, Vorwerk plans to incorporate artificial intelligence and voice command capabilities with the TM7, which will allow for even greater interaction and usability without the need for touching screens during messy cooking tasks. Dr. Stoffmehl remarked, "Um dieses Erbe zu würdigen, wird der Übergang zum TM7 von einem speziellen Abschiedspaket begleitet," signifying the sentimental value attached to the legacy of the Thermomix.
Vorwerk’s rigorous investment of €173 million over three years for the TM7’s development signifies their commitment not only to technological advancement but also to customer satisfaction and market leadership. The TM7 production takes place primarily at their Wuppertal facility, with final assembly happening in France, ensuring high-quality European manufacturing.
Vorwerk’s approach to kitchen innovation epitomizes its strategy to utilize direct feedback from the Thermomix community, continually enhancing their products based on user experience and expectations.
With over eight million Thermomix units sold worldwide, the TM7 stands on the shoulders of its predecessors and is poised to maintain the popularity of Thermomix among home cooks and culinary enthusiasts alike. The pre-order phase marks the beginning of this new exciting chapter for kitchen technology, one where smart appliances redefine the way we cook.
