Thermomix®/Bimby®TM7 – like never before!

The first Vorwerk universal kitchen machine came to market. The VKM5 could already do quite a lot — mixing, puréeing, chopping, stirring, and whipping.

Hansjörg Gerber, a Swiss engineer at Vorwerk, invented the first Thermomix® in 1971—after a product demo almost went wrong. Because matches for the gas stove to heat the soup garnish were missing, the mixer demonstration could only take place with a significant delay. His idea: heat and blend at the same time in a single pot. That was the birth of the VM 2000.

What an upgrade from the ‘original Thermomix®’! With 12 speed settings, variable cooking temperatures from 50–100°C, a simmering basket, an integrated measuring cup, and a timer of up to 30 minutes, the Thermomix®/Bimby® TM3300 hit the spirit of the times in 1982. It was also the first model available in Germany.

Innovation continued in 1996: the Thermomix®/Bimby® TM21 integrated a scale and, with the Varoma®, brought the option of steam cooking to the Thermomix®/Bimby® kitchen.

In 2004, the Thermomix®/Bimby® TM31 arrived — a model still considered a classic. New features included the butterfly whisk as standard accessory, an integrated timer, reverse rotation for delicate foods, a turbo mode, and the 37°C setting for safe tempering, e.g., for yeast doughs.

The first Thermomix®/Bimby® with a display instead of a dial and an innovative digital ecosystem featuring Guided Cooking. Cookbooks were also available as recipe chips. At the same time the recipe platform—today known as Cookidoo®—came into being.

The Cook‑Key® connected the recipes in a user’s profile on the recipe platform with the Thermomix®/Bimby® TM5 — marking the birth of Cookidoo® and, with it, the digital ecosystem. A milestone in Thermomix®/Bimby® history.

Visually similar to the Thermomix®/Bimby® TM5, the Thermomix®/Bimby® TM6 introduced a larger display, built-in Cookidoo®, and temperatures up to 160°C.

A friend for Thermomix®/Bimby® TM5 and TM6 to which specific recipe steps could be delegated. This made parallel cooking with the Thermomix®/Bimby® possible—and got meals on the table faster.

Hand-peeling potatoes and vegetables became obsolete with the introduction of the Thermomix®/Bimby® Peeler. A positive side effect: the Thermomix®/Bimby® Peeler can also be used as a blade cover, for example during sous‑vide cooking.

Grating carrots and cheese, slicing cucumbers and salami into uniform pieces—this is all possible with the Thermomix®/Bimby® Cutter and the dedicated modes. With the double-sided reversible disc, you can achieve four perfect results. A long-held wish of the Thermomix®/Bimby® community finally came true.

Cakes from the oven, fish and meat from the pan—with the Thermomix®/Bimby® Sensor, it was now possible for the first time to extend the Thermomix®/Bimby® success guarantee beyond the mixing bowl. It measured core and ambient temperatures with precision and connected to the Thermomix®/Bimby® TM6 and TM7 as well as the Cookidoo® app.

The Thermomix®/Bimby® Cutter got an upgrade with the Thermomix®/Bimby® Spiralizer. It now lets you cut both wide and thin spirals—complete with a dedicated mode! A must-have for every veggie pasta fan!

With the launch of the Thermomix®/Bimby® TM7, we’re setting new standards: black instead of white, quieter than ever, a stage for a free-standing mixing bowl with an innovative locking mechanism, and a 10-inch multi-touch display. The digital experience — and the world of Cookidoo® — take center stage with the Thermomix®/Bimby® TM7. Hardware and software merge for maximum ease of use, introducing new modes such as Open Cooking, personalized settings, and a completely reimagined Guided Cooking experience.

Vorwerk is introducing the AI-powered Cookidoo® Assistant, a new companion designed to answer a wide range of cooking and recipe question and help people move more naturally from inspiration to Guided Cooking. This marks the next step in making the world’s largest curated recipe ecosystem more intuitive, personalised and accessible.
