Is a Thermomix TM6 worth the money? | How To Cook That Ann Reardon 

I sent it back to thermomix and after testing they have replaced the pcb board, so it must have been faulty (despite only being 3 weeks old). It is being posted back to me - so I don't have it back to re-test as yet.

@@HowToCookThat Please update us when you do! That is of course a major concern, and sometimes we get faulty items (manufacturing isn't perfect) so long as the company makes it right I think its fine!

@@markbollinger1343 I wish there were some really well known, trustworthy consumer watchdogs for things like this. I worry that a lot of companies, luxury item or otherwise, rely on faster, cheaper, worse manufacturing methods and higher instances of dysfunctional/non-functional items because they know consumers are too exhausted and too used to this way of doing things to hold them to account for their resource destruction. I swear there's someone in most companies that calculates the percentage of customers that can be relied upon not to follow through on repairs and replacements because they're so disillusioned about consumer rights, they take being screwed over for granted. One of the many stupid downsides of our ruthlessly capitalist system - less useful converted resources for more hoardable wealth. Surely building a food gadget or games console that doesn't function safely and effectively out of the metals and plastics mined and produced from our finite supplies should be illegal, at least over a certain rate of instance. You'd bloody think, anyway. It should be codified into law.

My thoughts exactly. The cheaper one is actually better and seems more user friendly.

We have small kitchens in my country, so the all-in-one aspect is very appealing to avoid having so many different devices to drag in and out of the cupboards. It would be really bad though if you for instance wanted to boil eggs or mix dough while slow cooking something. I'd be very tempted to get a Tokit if I could afford one.

Thanks Brent

@@HowToCookThat hello Ann I love ur videos I watch them almost every week mostly the one where u fixed the frog cake fail Of course I watch others but that’s my favourite:)

I still don't understand why people buy them 😅 I would like to see more things made with them?

@@MsWnDrLnD Personally this looks like a great way to get around my executive functioning issues (I struggle to make myself start/stop tasks with several steps - not uncommon for neurodivergent people like myself) so that I can actually cook more, maybe have a somewhat healthier diet. I've spent about as much on other stuff around my house just for my own nerdy interests, this one has an actual practical use so I don't have to find an excuse to save for it :P I can think of some other reasons, though they don't apply to me personally: for instance physical accessibility reasons (for example those with poor grip or hand mobility may find it useful), or people with enough money to justify the hands on time it would save in cooking or preparing food, or people who need both the time saved and consistent results (I can imagine people who make and sell little deserts and things might be able to justify the cost).

I sympathise about reverting to manual cooking, I know I favour stovetop and oven cooking over even the microwave and pressure cooker (an option for rice cooking thatvI could use for more).

Probably the same situation as expensive hotels not having free wi-fi or included breakfast. If you're already willing to pay for something expensive, you're also willing to pay for the stuff that usually comes for free

@@Tonstie Expensive hotels get away without wifi or breakfast because their primary business is in conventions. The people staying at those conventions then HAVE to use their hotel. So they don't really have competition, at least not competition that those conveniences would sway.

Feels like the Foodie version of Peloton

Iirc, Thermomix is an MLM company, and they are FAMOUS for trying to milk every cent out of both distributors and customers alike

Yes, it is a shame... But first 7 months are free and you can make the most of them and save hundreds of recipes on the machine which you can use without subscription or wi-fi.

Debunking, Cooking, Thoroughly explain how I made that cake

Omg not two of my favs!!

As I was scrolling down the comments while watching the video, you and Ann both said that at the exact same time. Interestingly this happens to me ALL the time and in different forms.🌸⭐️❤️

I'm wondering if it's just telling you the heat of the element, not the contents? That might explain why the water temp is accurate- not sure.

@@OrWhatWeHave For the Sous Vide bit, I think it had been on for a longer time than it had been for the cremeiux. A temp for the element would be pretty useless as it likely wouldn't take into consideration thermal loss or thermal runaway. Sous vide takes longer and because the food is vac sealed, you get a bigger margin for error for temp. my guess is either a fault in the element or a fault in the computer board for engaging power at higher temperatures, you see similar things in 3D printers sometimes when they are having thermal runaway issues

The temperature shown on the outside of the thermomix refers to the temperature of the bowl, not the mixture, (Stupid, I know xD) but Thermomix recipes adjust to that

@@cauliiflower3041 omg your pfp is adorable dnfaisndfisdjfhil

Thanks Wol ves, lots of work went into this one.

I just kept thinking of all the food her family had to eat during these tests lol My husband and I don't mind eating the same leftovers for 3 or 4 days, but my mother-in-law would be like, "buns for breakfast, again? It's the 3rd day, already!" Lol Even so, my husband still cooked the same medicinal chicken soup for a whole 2 weeks (not 2 weeks of leftovers, but after the leftovers were gone, he cooked the same soup, again lol his mom went on a soup strike for a couple days, which was simultaneously hilarious, cute, and very surprising, because soup at the end of the meal is a must in Asian culture)

"working within manufacturers parameters" yikes

hmm so what they're saying is the temperature is the bowl getting up to temp rather than the food inside. i guess that sort of makes sense as an oven tells you what temp its at before what's inside is up to temp but a bit misleading and confusing in this case.

ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-X6XZQVA6Gsg.html they dont seem to be a good company in general

Thanks for the update and noting this. I have not seen any other video that talks about this. I bought the TOKIT because the price was within (not really) the range I would pay, knowing that the Thermomix was more than twice as much in Canada (w/ promotional discount on the TOKIT) and while I loved many things about it when I received it, I was disappointed to find out that it doesn't show the current temp. I figured that TOKIT could have designed it to since it already senses the temp to hold the food at a constant temp in cooking. Also, it was extra annoying knowing the Thermomix that it is modeled on already did it. But thanks to your wonderful video, I now know about the inaccuracy of the Thermomix temp readings and I feel so much better about my TOKIT and agree that it makes sense to not include it if it can't be accurate. (Other TOKIT features I appreciate - faster lid-locking/unlocking - they didn't have legal issues like TM, no subscription - freely available recipes, and while they don't have as many recipes, they will continue to add to their cloud, more Asian recipes appeal to me, and lots of 3rd party recipes and videos floating around for TM that transfer to TOKIT as you also pointed out, the wider base for better heating for stirfry/sauté. Basically, these were my concerns with TM before TOKIT even came out, and TOKIT covered them all. Higher RPM is a bonus. Would have liked the ability to not turn the blade and I wound up buying the slow cook plug). I didn't even think of the finger pinch hazard of the TM before. And so pleased about double the steamer set capacity too in TOKIT!

In order to get the current temperature of the food inside the bowl, they'd need to somehow have a thermocouple in there in contact with the mixture. They're relying on the reading from the heating element's sensor. I think the only way you'll get accurate readings is to have a probe you can insert (like you did) directly into the bowl. Probably why the TOKIT didn't try to give you a reading.

I too own a Thermomix. Had it now 2years and I use it every day. I simply love it. As mentioned above you add the ingredients and set the modes. You leave for however long the recipe takes to prepare/cook while you attend to other preparation e.g putting things away or washing up or anything really.

I’ve had my TM6 for 3 years and I use it 4-5 times a week. It’s still going strong and I haven’t had to replace any items. I know it’s pricey and you have to pay for the membership, but they’re constantly coming out with new recipes and add ons. I can totally see why someone who knows nothing of it would think it’s a waste of money but it’s been such a timesaver and the guidance is so easy my hubby can cook too!

Tefal has the cook for me, which is much cheaper, less functionality, but has pre programmed step by step recipes. It's more like an instant pot, but it's great for novice home cooks

My mum has a thermomix (one of the earlier, cheaper versions) and she uses it daily. It's great for chopping veggies. I personally find it's quite annoying to handwash each time though.

Couldn’t agree more I have a good set of knives, a grater, a mini oven with functions, an induction hob, a blender stick and blender container with functions a hand mixer and that’s my kitchen basically; none of these items cumulatively cost what either of those machines do. How do they give the joy of cooking? The pleasure of making? No thanks just give them to chefs, they will no doubt from find them useful.

Most of the cost is due to the software and inner mechanics of the machine, I doubt a scaled-down version would be any cheaper, if anything, it would probably be more expensive!

It feels as though "look how many things you can use it for!" doesn't quite work as a selling point, because it's not like you can use multiple functionalities simultaneously. If you want to make a stew with some steamed veg and rice followed by a frozen dessert then you can only use the machine for one of those things - so it doesn't matter that it can do all four jobs perfectly. I think if I owned something like that it would be used at most once a day, for one specific function - in which case buying a dedicated machine for that function would make more sense.

Once you pass high-end consumer goods and hit professional-grade equipment, charging for accessories is very common. Linus discusses that in his video: "Linus Defends Apple's $1,000 Monitor Stand."

its because they are made by MLM schemes.

I agree, but maybe it's to prevent unwanted attachments that people would throw away because they never use them.

@@xxgn i think it's quite a bit different in the culinary world lol.

Thermomix comes with butterfly whisk, simmering basket, steam basket and a spatula that is used to take the simmering basket out of the jug.

Fine powders are flammable in general around an open fire like a cigarette for example.

@@theinvisiblewoman5709 Yup. I remember Mythbusters did a segment on that.

Wear fire retardant clothing, and bring the garden hose in. Also. 👍

Same problem grinding grains into flour etc. Any fine dust can be a hazard

Between the dust explosion possibility from this video and the wood burning she recently did; I’ll have to watch well before bedtime! 😅

Aww that's sweet

This is probably done by design - Vorwerk wants you to buy the subscription to their pre-made recipes. $55 US a year. Certain functions are entirely useless without the paid recipes, too. I already paid $2300 for it, why would I want to pay more to access the whole machine? Very shady.

I know right? I'd get so mad having paid that much money only to find out I cannot use the advertised temperature range 🤨

It’s called capitalism.

@@anniestumpy9918 It's an MLM

@@yourmom2189 Nope it's a MLM

That does sound amazing. I think I'll stick with my instant pot, as I actually really enjoy cooking, but I can see the appeal for someone who doesn't like to, or doesn't have time. But, funny little thing, I just woke, and had this on while I was brushing my teeth. Glanced at the comments and saw yours, and thought "why do her young children have full time jobs?" LMAO

I was wondering what the appeal of these are! Having the recipes build right in would be nice, I know I can do recipes like that but I never want to do the research!

Moms from decades ago must have been supernatural 😂

I really appreciate this comment. I'm not a great cook either, but I don't have to feed anyone but myself and I have plenty of time, so it's difficult for me to understand the purpose besides it being pretty interesting. My biggest worry is future obsolescence, but if it's used every day for the 5-10 years (this is a wild guess for how long before it breaks in some way) then you'd still get your money's worth. It just makes perfect sense in your context, but it just didn't occur to me.

I’m interested to see how people actually use it, I suppose the biggest benefit is weighing ingredients and being able to chop things, so that someone like you could dump in ingredients without having to learn those somewhat overlooked skills. Other “easy cooking” gadgets I’ve seen (like Instant Pots and this automatic oven thing I keep getting ads for) don’t take into account and assume people have already learned those kitchen skills. For most, it’s more worth their time and money to learn them, but I think there’s a certain group of people who have solid enough careers that a device like this is worth the money.

Oh yeah! That's something I could actually afford... if the quality is there, it'd be nice to have

@@hamsandwich99 Kogan vs Kmart, battle of the budget buys. I’d honestly be very interested in this. As Covid has shown Kmart has become an integral part of Australia’s shopping habits and it would be great to know how well they really stand up

Maybe even test it against the Cuisinart CompleteChef cooking food processor ($699 US / $970 AUD). For reference the Kogan would be about $320 AUD.

Even at a budget price, I still wouldn't buy this type of machine, as I enjoy making a day out of hand mixing and preparing special treats for my family (not like I'm making bread or chocolates every single day, usually just once a month), but I'd still love to see Ann test out budget options and then compare overall stats between budget and expensive at the end of the video

MeiLe美樂 wait r u the real mei

Thermomix is just more and more expensive. Even adjusted for inflation. Older models lasted forever though. My cousin had one that was like 25/30 years old (bought in the mid-80s).

Right? I doubt I’d ever buy either one because it’s just not worth it to me with the very limited foods I eat due to health issues. But if I were to miraculously be able to eat whatever I wanted and I had a spare couple grand I’d buy the cheaper one. It seemed equally good if not better in most cases and for someone like me who, when I still ate everything, loves to eat but hates to cook this seems like you could get some amazing meals without most of the effort! The preset recipes seem pretty idiot proof!

She, and many other RU-vid video cooks, received the tokit for free and asked to do a video about it.

Its kind of small. For one person or perhaps an couple that's okay, more than that you will need to make more batches

the expensive 1 limits what you can manually do, so it requires a subscription. no thx

Seeing the tokit, I can't understand why someone would still want to buy the thermomix, especially considering thermomix seems to be an MLM

Still, i don't understand why they don't offer a real manual mode, with full control over temperature range, timer and mixing speed (up from 0).

@@CaptainsMorning Because it's Made in China! I wouldn't touch one on principal with a 10 foot barge pole!

@@michealpersicko9531 I didn't even know there was any controversy until you said something. Did some googling and saw, so now I know. You can't trust anyone these days.

Hey, I used to work in a kitchen that had a thermomix so I can try to answer some of your questions: 1. For our purposes we didn't really use it for chopping in the traditional sense, however it is very good at blending even the toughest vegetables or meat. For pre-cutting, you just need to make sure the food is small enough the reach the blade and have space to move around, and you don't need to scrape down the sides. 2. It makes the perfect smoothies/milkshakes/frappes, etc. 3. The lid and all other accessories are dishwasher safe, but the bowl has to be washed by hand. 4. Just like using a normal bowl, stuff still sticks but is easily scraped out with a spatula. 5. The cakes turn out like they were made out normally, but we didn't use it for other baked goods. 6. They could probably make 4-6 portions. 7 and 8. Sorry, I can't help with these. 9. Unfortunately it can only finely chop or blend food. It would also only work if the blade was covered, but we did have a slightly older model so this might have changed. We never experimented with popcorn, but it would be interesting to see if that could work.

It doesnt make as smooth smoothies/milkshakes as a vitamix does, no where near as good

@@rhiarnevans9420 have you compared them to the Vitamix?

@@suzannegmirek1520 yes i have both :), vitamix and thermomix

@@rhiarnevans9420 thanks. :-)

I think they are aiming to become Vitamix/blendtec rather than kitchen aid/faberware. Or that's the design cue I would suspect.

The thermomix does have a lock for the lid. 🤨

@@montselech yes, a less effective one that can pinch skin pretty badly (but looks like it could do worse if you were unlucky)

@@jaybee4118 pinch? Only if you are not careful which you should if you are using an equipment that expensive and that could be dangerous.

@@montselech yeah, but there’s no need to be like at all. As the OP pointed out theres far better ways to have a locking system that doesn’t pinch at all. This one is over engineered AND not that safe.

I totally agree, this is just that stupid juice maker all over again. It would cost a fraction of the price to get a slow cooker, steamer, sous vide machine etc. Recipes are already free online and the individual items I’ve listed don't have a membership fee or DRM! Absolutely insane to me. Imagine if one of the companies goes into bankruptcy, can’t login to my membership, can’t eat tonight! $2500 of worthless crap! I think people are overlooking the fact that you can also only cook one thing at a time in these, whereas if you buy a few kitchen items for considerably less you can do a lot more at the same time. The cooking area is way too small and the fact you have to buy addons just to stop the blades is insanity when you are paying $1500-2500. The fact you can’t change the temperature to what you want on the one is mad, the fact you can only cook for 99 minutes in manual mode is mad, the fact that you can’t set temperature below 35 degrees is mad, these stupid devices have so many limitations you really couldn't pay me to own one! Now I've covered the objective facts, let me go onto subjective, they are both ugly, the tokit one less so but nevertheless. They are massive (which I can forgive since having individual items would take up a fair amount of space, however the cooking area size is relatively small to the overall size which is silly. Another personal subjective observation - I like cooking! I like kneading bread dough, I like using a sous vide machine, my slow cooker cost £24 and works great and super easy to clean, I know how to make rice on the hob, I know how to boil eggs, I know how to etc. etc. etc. This device for me would take a hell of a lot of joy out of cooking and reduce it to a clinical sterile process with no heart or experimentation - especially when you can't deviate from the recipe or you risk getting locked out from cooking in a device you paid $2500 for!!!!!! INSANITY. I'll tell you what this is plain and simple. It is rich person bait, the bread maker of billionaires, the cupboard gadget of gaudiness. You'll use it maybe 6 times, figure out it's a novelty with too many restrictions and problems I've listed above and chuck it under the sink like last week’s edition of the now outdated iPhone, on which you could at least make calls to whomever you wanted. Let's face it if you carry on using the more expensive one it might not be just disappointment you experience but also diarrhoea, fever, stomach cramps and vomiting from the wonderful bout of salmonella due to the failure of the temperature sensor. Overall, I would not only encourage people not to buy these hunks of overpriced unnecessary garbage, but also encourage them to actively excoriate any professional chef or even hobbyist that advocates for them. They are overengineered, ugly, overpriced and clinical and if you need to stop and think for a second about whether or not to get one, for the love of God, reread this comment!

@@andreaiannucci7107 - The @Nikoli's Kitchen comment seem clear to me. Too much work goes into these steps for very small quantities in return. Mr Readon already pointed out some big deficits in operation, too. And where would you go to get this device repaired after an inevitable failure?

​@@andreaiannucci7107I agree!

G .🇵🇰🌹

Glad I'm not alone on this. I was thinking that my refrigerator was the most expensive thing in my kitchen & still managed to cost less.

I'm in Europe and have never seen or heard of these machines... One reason they may be popular in places is because our kitchens tend to be very small. Combining multiple machines into one saves a lot of valuable space in cabinets and on the counter top, which may only be 2-3 square meters in total to begin with.

They're not that widespread, to be honest, I only know a couple families who own one. I have a friend whose parents own one, its about 30 years old now, if not more (no idea how expansive it was back then), she has 6 siblings and both her parents had very time-consuming jobs. While it doesn't handle full meals for that many people, I think having an appliance handling at least the vegetables or meat on its own without too much human intervention helped make things more manageable. The other person I can think of who has one received it as a wedding gift, I think it also was with the expectation that she'll start a fairly big family someday.

Well, it's from a German company so of cause you see it a lot here. Many people in Germany love the company who produces the Thermomix since the quality of their vaccum cleaners is better to other brands so as they released the Thermomix like 5 or 6 years ago many people where randomly hyped about it, especially these people who didn't wanted to purchase a airfryer since back than people thought you could only do fried french fries in the airfryer + it was also something some people wanted to own who couldn't get their hands on a kitchen aid. Thats some of the reasons I heard why people wanted the Thermomix so badly. I also heard of people who wanted one cause "when its so many mashines in one than I can save space in my tiny kitchen" but also rich people and the "I'm a housewife"-people where some of those who wanted to buy them either for showing off how good of a housewife they are or cause showing off how rich they are by being able to purchase it

They aren't that popular in Australia, I only know 1 person who owns one

what did they end up buying? Happy with it?

I own a TOKIT and its great. Espescially the Coffee cream recipe. Water sugar and instand Coffee and in a few minutes you get a crean that is Light and full of flavor. And it stays that way for 2 days in the fridge. Still dont understand how, but who cares. This comparison was great to watch. Makes me happy i didnt spend more for the tmx. It even helped me understand some of the TOKIT functions better. Havent yet tried them all.

Yeah cause it’s probably an ad. I’m really disappointed in this video and hope there aren’t further branded videos.

@@MzMontana an ad for two opposing products? O-kay. 🤔🤔🤔

@@laktho oh absolutely! We’ve made foods that we’ve never even heard of and absolutely loved them.

and..... a food lab is the perfect place for them ! For a home kitchen? Nah! Most of the functions can be done with easier, low tech, unbreakable, cheaper options where you have more control and satisfaction from hands on cooking because 'hands on' is where you add the LOVE that makes everything home made taste better.

@@jolenemathews I mean, Ann Reardon uses a normal whisk in a lot of her recipe demos because it gives more control. And handheld electric beaters take up less space than stand mixers so are probably more useful to many people (in my kitchen a stand mixer would have to live somewhere so inconvenient that it would never be used). But I do like your turn of phrase, and your point is reasonable.

@@andersonomo597 My old thermomix is unbreakable lol

@@jolenemathews My point was more that, just like 'one-size-fits-all' clothing is NEVER flattering to anyone other than a super model, these all in one appliances do not give you the control or instinctive feel or flexibility of specific tools. They also limit you in the volume you can cook, are far more complex to use, and clean than say a normal pot. Also, if the Thermomix malfunctions, you've just lost the use of ALL those multiple functions - and at big $$$. Honestly, I would never want one. I LOVE to cook, I LOVE my various appliances and pots and pressure cooker, etc. I'm not knocking these more complex machines but I feel that are geared to people who DON'T like to cook - they want a gadget that will do it all for them, and that too anecdotally has been my experience.

@@jolenemathews Well you obviously have a short supply!

Honestly my old Thermomix is super reliable and its still going strong after 18 years and idk abt the other company. The thing about Thermomix is that they last long, and that is why it is worth it

I’ve been saving up and looking for a vintage Thermomix because I’m too much of a control freak to go for a new one that takes away the choices, but now after watching this, I think I really don’t need it.

If you melt chocolate at 37 degrees for 30 minutes, it will set beautifully in moulds. Then pour some milk in and heat it up, then speed it up to get an amazing frothy hot chocolate and a relatively clean jug that is super easy to finish cleaning.

Thanks Merna

Thanks Smiley Girl

It is probably the case. There is no way of checking the temperature of the ingriedients itself actually without sth submerged in them.

Or it assumes the contents are being stirred while the temp is taken. So just the bit of fluid near the sensor is getting hot enough. Might explain why both refuse to work without stirring at all.

Thanks Dhanvin

Or buy stuff like an air fryer and rice cooker/steamer. Can make so many foods in them. Relatively fast and you can just let them be. It's what me and my friends do. Not necessarily physically disabled. But adhd and executive dysfunction can make cooking difficult. Yeah multiple machines. Personally only have airfryer and cooking rice usually isnt to much for me. Maybe you could get a pressure cooker and such. A pressure cooker is supposed to be super fast. All depending on the types of recepes you cook. Yeah more than one machine. But you have simple choppers and blenders for as little as 20 bucks.

Yeah, I have every cooking appliance known to mankind…lol…would never trade them for either one of these. But looking at the comments seems ideal for disabled people.
