TM6 TM7 difference

Is it time to upgrade your TM6 and buy the new Thermomix TM7?

If you already own a Thermomix TM6, you know it’s an incredibly versatile kitchen machine that can chop, cook, steam, knead, blend, and much more. It’s been a game-changer for home cooks and food lovers everywhere. But now there’s the Thermomix TM7 — and it’s not just “another model.” It’s a meaningful upgrade that offers real improvements in usability, connectivity, efficiency, and everyday cooking experiences.

Here’s why upgrading from a TM6 to a TM7 makes sense for many Thermomix fans.

1. Bigger, Better Touchscreen Experience

One of the first things you’ll notice about the TM7 is its larger, more responsive touchscreen. It makes navigating recipes, adjusting settings, and controlling your cooking so much smoother — especially when you’re following guided recipes. The interface feels more effortless and intuitive. You can even use it with wet hands – the TM6 screen doesn’t register if you have wet fingers.

2. Improved Connectivity & Guided Cooking

The TM7 takes guided cooking to the next level. With enhanced Wi-Fi connectivity and a better interface for guided recipes, you’ll enjoy:

  • Easier to view recipes with bigger fonts
  • Faster connectivity
  • Smoother integration with the Cookidoo library

3. Smarter Software & Features

Thermomix didn’t just bump up the screen — they updated the software with quality features that make cooking more delightful including lots more functions

4. Faster Performance & Smoother Operation

Under the hood, the TM7 operates smoother and quicker overall. From loading screens to recipe steps, the responsiveness is noticeably improved. 

5. Extra Functions

The TM7 has some new functions that are not available on the TM6.

Open cooking – cooking with the lid off, similar to using a hob and the blades don’t move
High heat – set it up to 160 degrees, the TM6 can only do this within guided recipes.

Improved steaming function

There will be more updates in future too. 

6. Easier to take apart bowl

My older customers are loving the re-designed bowl. It has a level to unlock the blades, making it easier to take apart, particularly handy for those with reduced mobility or arthritis.

7. The Future of Thermomix Is TM7

Thermomix continues to evolve, and from here on out the TM7 is the model receiving most of the attention, updates, and innovations. That means:

  • Future improvements will be optimised for the TM7
  • New features and compatibility will roll out faster on the latest model
  • Longevity and software support are stronger with TM7

If you’re thinking long-term — and Thermomix is part of your daily culinary life — investing in the newest version keeps you ahead of the curve.

Is the Upgrade Worth It?

Of course, I’d be lying if we said the TM7 needs to replace a perfectly good TM6. The TM6 is still fantastic. But for many passionate cooks who:

  • use guided cooking constantly,
  • want a smoother digital experience,
  • love new tech that actually improves real-world use,

the TM7 is worth it.

Upgrading isn’t just about the hardware — it’s about making your time in the kitchen easier, more fun, and more creative.

Final Thoughts

If you treat your Thermomix like a tool and a companion in your everyday cooking — opening it multiple times a week — the TM7 is a thoughtful, noticeable upgrade. Better screen, better connectivity, smoother performance, and a future-ready design make it a smart choice for home chefs who want the best experience Thermomix has to offer.

Still happy with your TM6? That’s totally fine — it’s a great machine! But if you’re curious about a step up, the TM7 delivers meaningful improvements that are worth considering.
