I do like my thermomix because it does makes some recipes really easy, but, the novelty wore of quickly for me. I personally don’t think it is great value for money. I’ve had mine since 2015 so about 5 years. It is bulky so will take up a bit of bench space (plus the extra room you need for any prep you need for the recipe). I have found the numbers to the computerised scales and dials jump when being used. I’ve had other friends say they sent theirs in for a service when this happened but they’ve had theirs 2+ years longer and use it every day...Read more

I got the Thermomix TM5, and everything was fine, but after a month there must have been an update and the recipes proposed and the units are now from the USA. However I am French and I do not want to cook using this unit system and recipes in English. It looks like a bug, and it has been almost 6 months that I cannot use it properly, the brand does nothing to help me even after my numerous emails.

The situation is stuck like this, the only contact I get from them is an automated email every month that assures me that they are "sorry and that...Read more

The TM6 is my first thermomix and I am happy that I decided to purchase one. It’s really great to be able to cook from scratch with not much more effort than using brought products, and the food is mostly pretty good (but add a heap more seasoning than the Cookidoo recipe suggests). Note that if you have allergens, the blades can be quite hard to clean and it’s time consuming to get every trace if you need to do so.

My issue lies with the company itself. In Australia, thermomix supply is controlled by one supplier, and that supplier runs the ...Read more

The TM31 is the best but arranging for repairs is a bit difficult. My wife phoned up today to arrange to send my daughter's TM31 for repairs, and got the run-a-round wanting to know her details, when my wife was arranging repairs on her behalf and it is out of warranty. Told to take it to the local post office who will send it on, but did not give the address to put on the box. I do not think that our local post office would get a lot of people dropping off their thermomix machines to be sent for repairs. In the past, when we phone up, ther...Read more

I had looked at purchasing a thermomix but was undecided due to the cost and the number of cases of injuries reported in the news.

A friend was having a cooking experience and I sort of invited myself along. It was easy to use, easy to follow the guided recipe (Cookidoo), easy to clean and the Brazilian Cheese puffs and mushroom risotto were delicious.

The cost still held me back. $2200+ is a lot of money if it was just going to sit on my bench.

Another friend planned a cooking experience and I asked to come along. Again I was in love with t...Read more

I got the Tm5 only from 3 years and this how it look like now. The crack on the arms of the Thermomix stat to appear after 1 year only but they were quit small. Slowly slowly they are start to expand. The crack under the display it recent. The burn mark on the bowl base just happen 3 weeks ago. the scale stop work properly after few month and the time bottom jump the numbers. I did contact the costumers service where they suggest to send my TM5 to the repairs department for 99. but they will not guaranty me that the damage will be repair. And i...Read more

From my experience it has great build quality. It works well and cooks some things better than I would dream of.

On the other hand its $2000. Dont be foxed, if you are buying this to help in the kitchen and get sold on the idea that you can do everything from scratch, both of those ideas dont happen at the same time. There are some great things it makes like mashed potato and bread but you still need the oven for the latter.

I bought it about 5 years ago and its still going well but have only used it a maximum 20 times. Not worth the money in...Read more

We decided to purchase a Thermomix TM6 after an extensive period of research and speaking to friends and colleagues, as well as having an in-home demonstration. During our due diligence we were concerned around the reports of poor reliability in some units but were assured by our consultant that Thermomix had excellent customer care. Our minds more at ease we went ahead with our purchase and were advised to start planning our menu.

Unfortunately, on the initial installation of the device, there was a malfunction. The "scales" function was prov...Read more

This is a super machine for blending, processing & cooking 'wet' foods, but otherwise, it's an expensive gimmick. I got super caught up in the hype & demo & bought one when they were on 'sale' at $1800. I've since made some delicious soups, stroganoffs, stews, curries, etc. But you need to keep in mind it only does wet food. There are only so many stews, soups, strogs & risottos you can eat in a week before you start to crave a good steak & salad, baked dinner or solid food that's not slop. Apparently it's good for cake mix & bread, but as I do...Read more

I purchased my Thermomix with the intent of reducing our grocery bill and decreasing the processed foods in our household. I can honestly say that this definitely happened. I learn't to make a lot of basics from scratch by speaking to my consultant, utilising the Thermomix resources and Cook Key, and also by sourcing from the various third party recipe developers for Thermomix such as Skinny Mixers. My husband was initially against this purchase but within 6 months he was admitting that it was one of the best house appliance purchases we had ma...Read more

In my case I’ve already spent over $1000 for servicing. The scale broke multiple times and the software is really laggy. It freezes for a few seconds at least 2-3 times each day since the software update a year ago. I paid for a service to look at the software, they always take around $100 for it but is again is slow when I can back home so I’m basically wasting money. For a machine valued $2100 it should be more reliable. If it breaks another time I’ll throw it away and buy an Aldi equivalent for $300. And the Cookidoo disconnects on high spee...Read more
