TM6 vs TM7: should you upgrade?
If you already have a TM6 that works well, you might be wondering whether upgrading to the TM7 is worth it. Let’s look at what has actually changed and what the TM7 brings to the table, so you can decide for yourself.
| TM6 | TM7 | |
|---|---|---|
| Screen | 6.8 inch | 10 inch, larger and easier to read across the kitchen |
| Motor noise | Noticeable at speed | Much quieter at low speeds |
| Interface | Menu driven | Redesigned, closer to using a tablet |
| Software updates | Over Wi-Fi | Over Wi-Fi, with more headroom for new features |
| Mixing bowl | Standard stainless steel bowl | Insulated, so it keeps food warm or cold for longer |
| Varoma | Standard size | 45% bigger |
| Measuring cup | Sits in the lid while cooking | No need to put it on top of the bowl when cooking |
| Cookidoo | Yes | Yes |
| Cooking results | Excellent | Excellent. The food is not dramatically different. |
Consider the TM7 if
- You cook with it daily and the interface friction genuinely annoys you.
- You find the current screen hard to read, which matters more than people expect.
- Your TM6 is out of warranty and starting to need repairs.
- You are buying your first Thermomix. Then the TM7 is the straightforward choice.
