Thermomix TM7: what Vorwerk published about the new model

On 14 February 2025 Vorwerk announced the Thermomix TM7 in Berlin. This is the model with a launch date we found at the maker, unlike older cooking machines that are still on sale. The article stays inside the press release, the February 2025 fact sheet, the UK support page and the UK product page. We did not check a 2026 shop price.

When it was announced, and at what price in Germany

In Vorwerk's press release of 14 February 2025 the company said the TM7 would be officially available from 7 April 2025 at a price of 1,549 euro, and that it could be pre-ordered from the day of the announcement. Dr Thomas Stoffmehl, speaker of the executive board, said the pre-order phase starts at once, and that demonstrations and delivery start in the second week of April. The February 2025 fact sheet repeats that price and that date. This is the launch price Vorwerk published for Germany. We did not check whether it is still the shop price.

The bowl, the screen and the Varoma

On the UK support page the maximum bowl is 2.2 litres, so that TM5 and TM6 recipes stay compatible. The Varoma was redesigned, with 45% more steaming capacity than the TM6, and the set with the tray holds 6.8 litres. The same page gives a height of 33.6 cm, a width of 25.3 cm, a depth of 40.5 cm and a weight of 8.6 kg. The fact sheet records the base with the bowl as 253 by 405 by 336 mm, and 8,600 grams: the same measurements, in the order width, depth, height.

The press release describes a black base and a 10-inch multi-touch screen. Vorwerk writes that the black colour allows more recycled material in parts that do not touch food. The bowl is wrapped in matte black pleated insulation, and it can be touched from the outside during high-temperature cooking. The bowl lock is built into the base, and a slider lets you move the machine by lifting the front slightly.

Heat, speed, scale and noise

The fact sheet sets out what the screen does not replace:

• A synchronous motor with a nominal power of 500 watts, from 40 to 10,700 revolutions per minute. There is a gentle stir at 40 revolutions, clockwise rotation for chopping, anticlockwise rotation for stirring without chopping, and an interval mode for kneading dough.
• Heating from 37 to 120 degrees, by sensors, and a mode that reaches 160 degrees with a lighter or a stronger browning level. The heater draws 1,000 watts. The machine's maximum draw is 2,000 watts, at 220 to 240 volts.
• An integrated scale from 1 to 3,000 grams, accurate to 1 gram.
• Standby: 0 watts. A multi-core processor, with software updates over the air.
• A four-blade stainless knife. A stainless bowl with the heater and a temperature sensor built in.

On noise, Vorwerk publishes a measurement in an empty bowl, and writes that the values depend on the function, the speed and the ingredients. At speed 1: 30 decibels, against 63 on the TM6. At speed 4.5: 50 decibels, against 75 on the TM6. It writes that up to speed 2 is where 85% of cooking processes happen, and that this is the quietest Thermomix it has produced. Those are the maker's figures. We did not measure them.

Guided cooking, open cooking, and what is in the box

The press release talks about around 100,000 international recipes in more than 20 languages, through the Cookidoo portal. Vorwerk writes that recipe suggestions become more fitting the more the machine is used. It counts 30 modes and functions. On the UK product page the wording is looser: "20+ cooking modes", with no list. We kept the figure 30 from the dated release, and noted the gap so the two pages do not look as if they say the same thing.

According to the release, it is possible for the first time to cook without the bowl lid, in an open-cooking mode. Browning up to 160 degrees, previously inside recipes, can now be chosen as a mode. Vorwerk also describes a "digital twin" with automatic bowl recognition on the screen. We have not seen that screen at work.

On the UK product page open cooking is described as cooking without the knife turning, and browning is available in manual cooking as well. The same page says every part except the base can go in the dishwasher, and it points you to the manual. In the UK and Ireland the order goes through a Thermomix advisor only, not through an ordinary shop on the site.

The fact sheet adds what comes with the machine in Germany: a three-month Cookidoo trial subscription, and about 200 guided-cooking recipes. To receive those recipes the machine has to be connected to the internet once. The sheet also says there are about 20,000 representatives in Germany. On the previous model, the TM6, the press release says more than 7.6 million units were sold worldwide. The motor is manufactured in Germany, and final assembly is in France. Development and engineering, according to the same release, were done in Germany.

What we left out

The UK page also has lines such as replacing more than 20 appliances, or a 100% success guarantee. They are not in the fact sheet, and we did not bring them in as fact. We did not bring a price outside Germany, and we did not check whether 1,549 euro is still the price. A recipe that runs on the machine still lives inside the Cookidoo account, and that is part of deciding whether to connect the machine to the network.

More in the series

How Kenwood splits the same idea between a mixer and a processor is in Cooking Chef XL and CookEasy+. On the Bosch Cookit, which connects to Home Connect, and on the Magimix Cook Expert, which the maker marks as not connected, we wrote in two cooking processors. Before connecting to a network it is worth reading what actually needs Wi-Fi.

Not every smart way of cooking needs a new machine. According to the KitchenAppes homepage, cooking mode keeps the screen on and shows one step at a time, and timers start directly from the step that needs them. You can browse the community recipes on KitchenAppes and read more about us.
