Introduction:
Thinking about buying a Thermomix? You've probably noticed you can't simply add one to your basket on Amazon or pop into John Lewis. The Thermomix buying process is unique; and understanding it before you start makes everything smoother.
This comprehensive guide explains exactly how purchasing works in the UK and Ireland, what you'll pay, what's included, and how to get the most from your investment. Whether you're ready to buy or still researching, this is everything you need to know.
Why Can't I Buy Thermomix in Shops or Online?
Thermomix is sold exclusively through Independent Thermomix Advisors—there's no retail option. This isn't a limitation; it's a deliberate choice by Vorwerk (the German company that makes Thermomix) to ensure every buyer receives:
A personalised demonstration before purchasing
Ongoing support from a named advisor who knows you and your machine
Proper training on how to use all features
Access to a community of fellow Thermomix users
Think of it like buying a car with a personal concierge who teaches you to drive it, services it, and answers your questions for years afterwards.
Thermomix TM7 UK Price in 2026
The Thermomix TM7 costs £1,349 in the UK. In Ireland, the price is €1,599.
This price includes:
Thermomix TM7 base unit
2.2L stainless steel mixing bowl with lid
Varoma steamer set (dish, lid & tray) – 6.8L total capacity
Simmering basket (1.4L)
Butterfly whisk
Spatula
Measuring cup/splash guard
Instruction manual
2-year manufacturer's warranty
3-month Cookidoo subscription (100,000+ guided recipes)
Free welcome service with your advisor
Important: Thermomix never discounts the TM7. There are no Black Friday sales, January sales, or discount codes. If you see a "discounted" Thermomix online, it's likely second-hand, imported from another country, or potentially fraudulent.
Thermomix Budget-Friendly Options
You don't need to pay £1,349 upfront. Vorwerk UK & Ireland usually offers budget-friendly options to spread out the cost of the Thermomix TM7; please get in touch with LifeWithThermomix advisors who can inform you of the available options and help you choose what works for your budget.
What Happens at a Thermomix Demo?
A Thermomix demonstration is a free, no-obligation cooking experience where an advisor shows you exactly how the machine works. Here's what to expect:
In-Person Demo (at your home or advisor's studio)
Duration: 60-90 minutes
You choose recipes to cook from a menu
The advisor brings their Thermomix and cooks WITH you
You taste everything made
You can invite friends or family
You get hands-on experience pressing buttons and adding ingredients
Online Demo (via Zoom)
Duration: 45-60 minutes
Watch the advisor cook live
Ask questions in real-time
See close-up demonstrations of features
Convenient if you're busy or prefer virtual meetings
What to Ask During Your Demo
How does the guided cooking actually work step-by-step?
Can you show me a recipe relevant to my dietary needs?
What ongoing support do you provide after purchase?
How does the Cookidoo subscription work?
What accessories might I want later?
Can I see the browning mode and open cooking features?
There's never any pressure to buy at a demo. A good advisor wants you to make the right decision for your household, even if that means taking time to think.
How to Find a Thermomix Advisor
The good news are that you have already found an official Thermomix Advisor us.
Life With Thermomix: Independent Thermomix Advisors serving the UK & Ireland. Our focus is education first—we want you to love your Thermomix, not just own one.
All UK and Ireland advisors sell the same Thermomix at the same price. Vorwerk sets pricing centrally. So the difference isn't what you buy, but who you buy from.
Here's what to consider:
Support Style
Do they offer ongoing cooking classes (online or in-person)?
Is there a customer WhatsApp/Facebook group for recipes and tips?
How quickly do they respond to questions?
Do they provide a welcome session after delivery?
Demo Availability
Can they demo in-person or online at times that suit you?
Are they flexible with scheduling?
Experience & Knowledge
How long have they been an advisor?
Do they have expertise in areas relevant to you (e.g., batch cooking, special diets, baking)?
Communication Fit
Do you feel comfortable with them?
Do they listen to your needs rather than just pitching?
Our approach at Life With Thermomix: We provide comprehensive educational resources before your demo so you're informed. Our masterclass-style demonstrations focus on teaching, not selling. And our ongoing support includes regular cooking sessions and a supportive community.

Common Questions Before Buying
Is Thermomix worth £1,349?
For households that cook regularly and value time savings, most owners say yes. The combination of prep automation, guided recipes, and versatility typically saves 3-6 hours weekly on meal preparation. Many families also report reduced spending on takeaways and ready meals.
Can I try before I buy?
Yes, that's what the free demo is for. You'll cook and taste multiple recipes, getting hands-on experience before any commitment.
What if I don't like it after buying?
Thermomix offers a 14-day cooling-off period in the UK under consumer regulations. If you change your mind within this period, you can return it for a full refund.
Is the TM6 still available?
The TM6 has been discontinued for consumer sales. The TM7 is now the only model available for home use.
Can I buy a second-hand Thermomix?
You can, but proceed with caution. Second-hand machines don't come with:
Manufacturer's warranty
Advisor support
Welcome service
Guaranteed authenticity
If buying second-hand, verify the serial number with Vorwerk and be aware that older models (TM5, TM31) won't have the same features as TM7.
