How Much Does A Thermomix Cost?

How much does a Thermomix cost? Find out the true cost, whether it's really worth the money, and the pros/cons of buying a second hand machine.

How much does a Thermomix cost in Australia?

Well, lets face it... they're expensive! Like really, really expensive!

The current TM6 model is going to set you back $2,579 (price current as of May, 2024).

And we're the first to agree that it's a LOT of money to spend on a kitchen machine (regardless of how amazing they are).

Usually Thermomix will have a promotion running that might allow you to get a free cookbook, a cheaper second bowl, or a free ThermoServer... but the $2,579 price tag really doesn't change!

And unfortunately, there's no bargaining when it comes to buying a brand new Thermomix! The price is the price (sadly!).

You do have the option of paying in 3 instalments, or getting 12 months interest free finance... but when it comes down to it, you'll still be paying just over $2,500 for your Thermie.

Given that it really is a big financial decision to make, you need to weigh up the pros and cons before deciding if a Thermomix is the right fit for you and your family (or whether purchasing second hand may be a better option).

Is a Thermomix really worth the money?

The answer really depends on your personal situation.

If you plan to use your Thermomix each and every day and really utilise all of it's special features, then it's definitely worth the money.

But if you're just going to be using it as a fancy food processor, then a Thermomix might not actually be what you need.

The Pros and Cons of Buying a Second Hand Thermomix

If you've decided that a Thermomix is the right fit for your family but can't stand the thought of shelling out over $2.5k... then a second hand Thermomix might be a great option!

Pros

• you can pick up a used Thermomix for a fraction of the cost on Gumtree, eBay, Buy Swap & Sell groups etc;
• a lot of the second hand Thermomixers are in excellent (hardly used) condition;
• if you don't mind buying the previous TM5 version, then you'll find you can pick up one super cheap (a lot of people upgrade to the TM6 and sell their TM5);
• you're getting the exact same product... but a whole lot cheaper!

Cons

• while some second hand Thermomix machines are in great condition, others will need blades replacing, scales fixed, etc (it's best to try out the Thermomix before buying it... and if you're new to the Thermie, take along a friend who knows what they're doing to test it out for you);
• buying second hand means that you won't have a consultant come to set it up and teach you how to use it;
• the Thermomix may be out of the warranty period

Whether or not to buy a Thermomix really is a big decision. We hope that this post has helped make it a little easier for you!
