Thermomix® TM7™ in Canada: Features and Innovations for Modern Kitchens

Trusted by thousands of Canadian households, Thermomix® has become the reference for multifunctional cooking appliances. With each generation, Vorwerk has refined the formula by combining precision, power, and convenience in a single device. The Thermomix® TM7™, now available in Canada, continues that evolution. It is not just an incremental update, but a major step forward with smarter design, quieter performance, expanded cooking modes, and improved connectivity. Together, these changes redefine what Canadian users can expect from a premium kitchen assistant.

In this article, we will explore the key innovations of the TM7™ and why they matter for home cooks, professionals, and food enthusiasts alike.

 

Enhanced Design: Larger and More Intelligent

The TM7™ marks the most significant design leap in the last four to five generations. Its sleek black exterior conceals the mixing bowl within a seamless shell, while a newly flattened base makes the unit noticeably less bulky on the countertop. The standout feature remains the larger 10-inch multi-touch display, a major upgrade from the TM6™’s 7-inch screen, delivering faster response, brighter visuals, and a more intuitive experience.At first glance, the TM7™ preserves the familiar silhouette of the TM6™, but a closer look reveals major refinements. The most obvious is the larger 10-inch multi-touch display, a significant upgrade from the TM6™’s 7-inch screen. This new screen is not just bigger, it is also faster, brighter, and more intuitive.

For the first time, the rotary knob has been removed. The Thermomix® TM7™ is now controlled entirely via touchscreen, creating a smoother and more modern user experience. Following recipes or adjusting settings during cooking is now simpler, thanks to the ability to swipe, scroll, and tap through them like on a tablet.

The appliance itself has also been reinforced with:

• More durable materials, designed to withstand splashes and scratches.
  
  

• Enhanced stability during heavy-duty mixing or kneading, thanks to a sturdier base.
  
  

• A refreshed all-black finish, giving the TM7™ a sleek and premium look that blends into modern kitchens.
  
  

The TM7™'s updated design blends familiarity with a futuristic feel, guaranteeing lasting reliability.

 

Quiet strength: performance and precision

The TM7™ introduces a quieter synchronous motor, making it easier to prepare meals without disturbing the flow of a household. This refinement is particularly valuable in open-concept Canadian homes where noise can travel.

The heating system and temperature controls have also been upgraded, offering greater accuracy and flexibility:

• Open Cooking: cook without the lid at up to 100 °C, ideal for sauce reduction or stir-fry.
  
  

• Unlocked Cooking: cook with the lid partially open at up to 120 °C, expanding possibilities for simmering and steam release. This is particularly useful for hearty stews, a Canadian favorite.
  
  

• Browning Mode: reach up to 160 °C for searing, caramelizing, and sautéing.
  
  

These new modes bring professional-grade precision into everyday cooking. Combined with existing functions like sous-vide, steaming, and kneading, the TM7™ proves that it is more than just an upgrade, it is a reimagining of what a single machine can handle.

 

Expanded Cooking Modes that Benefits Modern Kitchens

The Thermomix® has always been about versatility, and the TM7™ takes this further with both new and improved modes:

• New: Open Cooking: Perfect for stir-fried vegetables, sauces that need reduction, or any dish that benefits from visible cooking.
  
  

• New: Unlocked Cooking: Allows cooking with the lid ajar, useful for stews, soups, or recipes where you want controlled evaporation.
  
  

• New: Browning Mode: Enables true searing and caramelization at up to 160 °C, ideal for onions, meat, and desserts.
  
  

• Improved Fermentation: More consistent temperatures for bread dough, pizza bases, yogurt, and artisanal cheeses.
  
  

• Enhanced Slow Cooking: Delivers richer flavors and improved heat distribution in long-simmered dishes.
  
  

• Refined Sous-Vide: Tighter temperature accuracy for restaurant-quality proteins and vegetables.
  
  

With these expanded options, the TM7™ effectively consolidates multiple appliances: slow cookers, yogurt makers, fryers, and even skillets. 

Smarter connectivity with Cookidoo

 

 

The Cookidoo platform has been central to Thermomix®’s appeal, and the TM7™ enhances this integration. The new customizable home screen allows users to pin favorite recipes, view recently cooked dishes, and access quick shortcuts directly from the display.

Connectivity is also faster and smoother:

• Recipes load more quickly thanks to improved syncing.
  
  

• Personalized suggestions adapt to your cooking history and preferences.
  
  

• Over-the-air updates ensure that the TM7™ continues to improve with new features over time.
  
  

Cookidoo recipes are also tailored to Canadian ingredients and preferences, making weekly meal planning simpler.

 

Sustainability and safety

Vorwerk has also emphasized sustainability and long-term value with the TM7™. Designed to last in everyday Canadian kitchens, the TM7™ offers:

• A cool-touch insulated mixing bowl, which stays safe to handle even at high temperatures, reducing burn risk.
  
  

• Energy-efficient engineering, lowering electricity use during long cooking sessions.
  
  

• Improved access to replacement parts, making the appliance easier to repair and maintain over years of use.
  
  

These changes reinforce the TM7™ not only as a premium cooking solution but also as a responsible investment in a sustainable kitchen.

Everyday cooking with the TM7™

To see how these innovations play out, here are some real-world examples:

• Breakfast: Overnight oatmeal with Fermentation mode, a Canadian classic.
  
  

• Lunch: Stir-fried noodles or vegetables prepared using Open Cooking without the lid.
  
  

• Dinner: Hearty chili or beef stew simmered for hours in Slow Cooking mode.
  
  

• Dessert: Caramelized apples or browned onions crafted with the new Browning Mode for deeper flavor.
  
  

The TM7™’s versatility makes it equally suited to quick weekday meals and elaborate weekend projects.

The Thermomix® TM7™ represents more than a generational refresh, it is a thoughtful redesign that combines modern usability, quieter performance, professional-level cooking modes, and long-term sustainability.

For new users, it is the ultimate entry point into the Thermomix® world. For existing TM6™ owners, it offers tangible improvements that make cooking easier, smarter, and more enjoyable. The TM7™ is not just an appliance, it is a vision of the future of cooking, blending technology, precision, and creativity into one powerful device.
