TM5

I bought a TM7 for my friends, who gave me their TM5, when they bought TM6 (2022.). When they received TM7, according to the deal, they gave me their TM6, and in addition I bought another TM6 with 5 years warranty and added bundle (additional mixing bowl, sliding board, cutter and spiralizer), which would be a really good deal even if they added only the additional mixing bowl (I still never used anything but that). The point for me, to keep with TM6, instead of buying neglectable (50€) more expensive TM7 was in a few things: Thermomix Friend, for soups, while I'm preparing a salad in TM6, so I can sit at the table together with the rest of the family. I bought two TM Friends, for each TM6, and maybe I'll buy another one, for (now) my son's TM5. Steam deflector (not yet, almost a year after releasing, available for TM7) which saved my kitchen cabinets from damage caused by condensed steam, by guiding the mass of steam into the exhaust fan (hub), while cooking broccoli (stem's) soup for 15-20 minutes or mashed potato for 20-25 minutes, etc. Availability of cheap (compatible) "handy" accessories on web. In comparison with Wundermix it is a big save. Hole in the lid!!! Because, when I make broccoli salad for 4-5 person (based on 400g of broccoli florets), I must be able to push content down to the blades with spatula, otherwise it will only overblend at the bottom, and remain intact at the top. Open lid is no problem for TM6 with a cheap Spätzle accessory (two parts, which of one is a "ring lid" with a big hole) bought on web. Seemingly easier to clean bowl. BTW, if TM5 had a 1g scale divisor (and hadn't a common scale failure problem), I would now have several TM5 (I could buy three of them for the price of the new TM6), and wouldn't envy to anybody who has TM6, let alone TM7. TM5 has simpler and more intuitive interface, yet have everything needed.

I spent 500€ on a second hand Thermomix. It will blitz any pesto in seconds. We use it 5 days a week.

bit of a different spin but i have a thermomix and i absolutely love it! it essentially combines multiple appliances together and in my opinion is well worth the money and the counter space! i use it at least once a day it’s so easy to clean as well as it does most of it itself you just need to give it a quick clean once it finishes (and obviously what you were making🙈) i love it so so so much! if you have the cash to splurge i’d so get one!

Hatte gerade mal nachgeschaut, weil ich es nicht glauben konnte. Gibt aber tatsächlich ein Rezept, was so geht. Ist aber wenigstens schlecht bewertet, das würde keiner machen 😅 Tatsächlich machst du mit dem Thermomix viel mehr aus Grundzutaten als normal. Normalerweise machst du sogar Puderzucker selber oder Gemüsebrühe. Oder halt Kuchen ohne Backmischungen etc. Ich finds wirklich gut, langweilig ist da überhaupt nichts. Da sind die 3 Gerichte, die 0815 Norbert jede Woche per Hand kocht, wesentlich langweiliger. (Und ja, das Rezept für Lasagne geht mit Béchamelsauce, die ist schon wirklich lecker und das macht sonst kaum einer)

Thermomix from Vorwerk (Germany).

Yes, very expensive, but it can do so much, even take grains and make flour, but also the guided cooking is lit. We have one and still have the kitchen aid we bought before, and the kitchen aid would no more be needed. I would always buy thermomix again.
