ThermoCook Pro M 3.0 7" $1149, 10" $1349 Delivered ($251 off) @ Froothie

70

This is a competitor to the Thermomix. It's significantly cheaper. The online recipe database is free (Thermomix is an A$89 p.a. subscription). They do it with a 7" or 10" screen, but the machine is the same otherwise (the 10" base is a bit wider).

Says thousands of recipes (bit vague) on the site (that may be an old figure). They add new ones. You can't check out the recipes in the app without having a machine which is annoying. Ah, thanks to justdigi they have 1158

Thermomix have a heap more recipes (says 85,000 on their site). I suspect that may be the killer feature to push you to Thermomix.

I have no idea what it's like (or any other machines like this). Definitely could be an expensive lump forgotten in a cupboard. Hard to find up to date reviews and comparisons that aren't from the seller.

  • Missus got a thermomix 5 or 6 and that thing is a (profanity) unit. Can't comment on the recipe side of it, but as a blender and cooker and mash maker and all that jazz, thing is an absolute unit. Love it.

    If this thing is even half as good, it's a grand well spent.

    • Do you have a mash recipe? I tried it and got inedible potato concrete.

      • Once the potatoes are boiled, you need to replace the water with cream, butter, and milk - not sure how you could do this in an all-in-one machine, can it perform a drain function during the cook ?

        • No it can't but I think I could do this if it means something tasty. Maybe I didn't get enough water out last time or the recipe didn't add enough of those follow up ingredients. Thanks

          • @Appleboat: Boil the potatoes for at least half an hour.
            Pour the water out.
            Put those three things in.
            Mash it.
            Done.

  • I have an older version of this, it is a great unit. Has same specs as a Thermomix. Mine was about $800 few years ago

    • There are differences. The current one has a bigger container and motor (among other things).

        Yeah I know, just vouching for the quality of the machined in general. No many people would know of the company I recon.

    You can see all the recipes in a Google Sheet they published.

      1. Pretty weak compared to Thermomix's 85,000+ (of course, how many variants of pumpkin soup do you need?)

      Users can submit recipes.

  • 6 months ago those prices were the RRP. Not sure about the large $251 increase in such time frame.

    Here is a review

    I’m happy to be corrected, but I really don’t understand the appeal of these units. It tries to do everything, and in the process excels at nothing.

    My extended family has a thermomix, and raves about its capabilities at every opportunity. But I produce far tastier food (and in larger quantities) using a stand mixer and/or an instant pot.

    • I'd guess particularly good for families that are time poor (though you wonder about the washing of it).

      People who need a gadget that is space saving, fast to heat, step by step recipes with an edible end result, add terms like wifi/smart/AI to make it sound cutting edge .. thats the target audience , not meant for everyone even though marketed as a one stop replacement for everything.

      • i bought a thermomix with no intention to use the cooking function. i just wanted a steel food processor that i could put in the dishwasher

  • +1

    I dunno. I reckon I'd be going for a used Thermomix TM6, particularly once the TM7 is released they should be cheaper.

    • Tm7 is already released

        Well you can preorder it.
