Can't imagine life without thermomix. I also have the older version TM31 and the 5 is much better. I use it everyday. Love the guided cooking and the new Cook key that gives access to recipes all over the world. I can cook much healthier and meals I would have never dreamed of cooking

The thermomix has changed the way we cook at home. Thermomix does everything and more, including a colour touch screen with details steps and an inbuilt set of scales. I love being able to just chuck everything in and let the machine do all the working. The thermomix is a huge time saver and is a must have

When my wife wanted one I was resistant but I love it and it has made the weekly cooking easier for everyone. Can I live without - yes, do I want to live without - no. It just makes it easier to do different things.

The only con is the bench space you give up.

I have had the TM5 just over a year and use it at least 2-3 times a week. I did not do any cooking prior to purchasing this appliance but I take great pleasure in using it. The quality of the dishes it produces are excellent, my wife has yet to use so I am certainly earning brownie points. It is very easy to keep clean and it reduces the amount of washing up dramatically. A very worthwhile addition to any kitchen.

This machine is good but save your money and don’t bother buying it. You can buy the TM31 for less than half the price with the same outcomes. You simply need to follow a paper or iPad recipe instead of using the screen on the TM5. The ongoing costs of cookido subscription will be another cost saver for you.
So, the smart money is on the old model. All the functions you want without ongoing costs or functions that are technologically extremely limited.

It's hard to say anything that hasn't been said. Taking the price out of the equation the only issue I can find is the difficulty of getting food out of the bowl can be troublesome. The product is really an all-round fantastic addition to any Kitchen. But be ready to open your wallet

I've had both the tm31 and the new one, the tm5. Loved both. The tm5 is definitely more user friendly for kids and husbands haha. With Step by step instructions on the touch screen cooking can't get any easier then this. Love the hands free cooking. Can feed my family of 4 men and myself easily

We have two kids who are flat out all day so it makes cooking real easy when it comes to meal times. Breaky, smoothies, dinner, desserts, snacks, you name the thermo mix will produce the goods. Our kids are fussy eaters but we throw every vegetable and anything healthy into it and they just scoff it down. It’s that simple to use, even I could work it out

I nearly use my thermomix everyday! I cannot live without it. I use it to chop, blend, steam, fry, mixing etc I basically rely on it! I know that they are expensive but I personally think it’s money worth spending. I have 2 children and I think it’s easy and fast to use. Especially the cleaning!!

Purchased this last year.

Love love love it.

I like to cook but having two small kids makes cooking from scratch hard. Since having a thermomix in my clutches i cook many many things from scratch with ease. Drinks, pasta, soup, desserts (steamed a cheesecake the other day).

We love ours and use it every day

The machine started off being amazing, now it is a couple of years old and after being used every day needs a bit of a service- sometimes it just stops working and most of the time it runs loudly and roughly. I called the service centre in the hope of getting a general service and basically I got a "no" unless I send in videos of what it is doing... I mean really... videos? Just accept the damn machine and fix it. If I had have known it was this much effort to service, I would never have bought one in the first place.

I have been able to sell all my other appliances and replace everything with this. This machine replaces the blender, food processor and stick mixer, benchtop stand mixer, rice cooker and bamboo steamer (among probably another 5 other appliances too)
It is easy to use although it seems intimidating to start with you get the hang of it easily.
I love using this for interesting recipes but also basic stuff like cooking two minute noodles, it will boil itself stir the noodles so they cook evenly and not overflow then dings once it’s finished.
This has been an amazing machine for our household.

My wife banged on about getting one of these for years and I finally gave in... and I’m pleasantly surprised. This machine is very, very good at what it does (which is a lot). You’re cooking with a lot of precision and a huge range of recipes. And it does simple meals very quickly, which is a real bonus in my household (3 kids with allergies).
The downside is obviously the cost. Compared to other premium kitchen products I’ve bought (blenders, coffee machines), I think this is worth the money.

I love my thermomix. I was unsure if I would, due to the fact that I love to cook (in the conventional way!). But the thermomix is come in handy for so many things. I still cook everything I used to cook - but save on time and washing up!!
