Game changer!! – This appliance is a game changer! So easy to use and the recipes are sensational. I love to cook and this machine is like an extra pair of hands in the kitchen. Saves me so much time. I'm a full time working mum. Easy to clean and not to mention a pleasure on the eye. Not too bulky. The support and community are also fantastic. Always ready to answer a question and share great ideas, tips and hints. Thanks to the team! Show details ·  1

Wonderful Machine – Absolutely love this machine! It makes cooking so much easier and I have all the equipment I need in one machine. My favourite recipe is the choc chip cookies, they’re perfect every time and with the cost of living at the moment it’s cheaper to make treats at home and I know exactly what’s in my food. Show details ·  1

A job well done! – Left my Thermomix at the time of divorce which was brilliant but I have to say I see value and excellent performance in my Thermocook - I had also bought a commercial mixer from Froothie which gave me confidence to buy the Thermocook! I trust this company with all their products now. Show details ·  1

Pretty great – I'm really happy with the Thermocook Pro-M 2.0, it is easy to use, and all the recipes are great that I have tried. I especially like the cookie recipes, soups, lasagna and broccoli and cauliflower bake. The bowl is relatively easy to clean, especially when you use remove the blade (which is easy after watching the YouTube video). I would like… Read more ·  1

optimum to come out with more recipes. The handles don't get hot, just the bowl itself and where steam comes out. The pouring mechanism could be better - when its full and I'm trying to get contents out it is awkward, I know there is a handle you can buy, but it was sold out when I looked online. Most recipes cook evenly that I have tried. Altogether, it is a great product that I recommend for people wanting a mixing, chopper, cooking tool for their kitchen :)

Fantastic for the price – This product matches it's competition by the horns in ways of performance and usability. Great touch screen and ability to input recipes geeat. The only places where i would say it falls short are the top cup has already started cracking and when making purees it never as smooth as a vitamix will get. Definitely worth the money seeing as you… Read more ·  1

Never too old to learn new tricks – A newbie to the latest technology and fascinated with new innovations, love cooking. My new Thermocook Pro M 20 makes life a lot easier at my age. Did a lot of research, love a challenge, so hit the button and went for it. Very happy to say it’s a pleasure to have in my kitchen, stylish on the bench and ready to go. First result was highly praised by family. Looking forward to many more tasty morsels. Show reply

Optimum Thermocook Pro-M 2.0 is my first AI cooking machine – The instruction manual of this machine is not real enough, because the picture used in it is an electronic simulation picture, not a real image of the machine, so the instructions are not clear when assembling the machine. This machine has no physical recipes, only electronic recipes, which is very inconvenient. The App research and development of… Read more

this machine is insufficient, the link with the machine is poor, and the update steps are not clear. The built-in electronic pound of this machine is very inaccurate. The number showing the weight often jumps, and even suddenly shows "return to zero", even if the ingredients have been put into the cup of the machine. As a result, the amount of food is unstable when cooking. It affects the results of food. The most important thing is that this machine doesn't even have a basic soy milk recipe. As a food-making machine, it should contain more basic recipes. There are not enough built-in programs in this machine, which makes the food production process spend a lot of extra time searching for similar machines of other brands to refer to the production process. I suggest that you can add a rotating button, which can twist 360 degrees, which is convenient to adjust the temperature, speed and time of making food. The lid of this machine cannot be firmly buckled, and it is easy to fall off. Every time the lid is opened, the small accessories on the lid (i.e. measuring cup) can easily fall into the cup, affecting the quality of food production. Machine blade: The fineness of crushing food is not meticulous enough. For example, blending soybeans and soybean residue is very rough and thick. My Vitamix can blend soybeans into a very delicate and smooth state which is very fine to drink. Therefore, the number of turns of the blade to break food of this Thermocook machine needs to be improved. The rubber ring of the lid is not completely sealed. When mixing liquid in the cup, lot of liquid penetrates into the rubber ring and the edge of the cup. When I opened the lid, lots of liquid is dripping from the cup and the lid, the liquid was dropped onto the surface of the screen and the machine, it is not convenient as I have to do lots of wiping.

Overall, the service is good, but the machine itself can be improved more. The evaluation is based on my own experience, but the machine was bought by my family as a gift. Therefore, I can evaluate this machine. I am a real user.

Fantastic product, especially for the price! – Love my Thermocook, and it's become a staple for our kitchen. The in-built recipes are good but, as soon as you've got your head around the sessions, you can easily freestyle using the basic controls. The quality of the product is good, and it feels solid. The only thing that lets it down is the screen user interface. There are simple things like… Read more ·  1

the icons and text being too close to the edge of the screen, but other times the screen doesn't respond to an input and it's hard to know why. For example, if the contents of the Thermocook bowl are above a certain temp you can't blend beyond speed 4. Makes sense for health and safety, but a message on the screen would help you know why without having to guess. Also, when you search for a recipe, click into one, but then click out it loses the search so you have to start again. You also can't favourite recipes when searching using the text search. All of these things are minor though and could be solved through software. The unit itself is really great!

Impressed – Although I'm still learning to "drive" the device, I'm perhaps finding it a little easier than other people might, since I used to have a Thermomix TM31, and much of the operation of the Optimum Thermocook Pro-M 2.0 is similar. So far, I have succeeded in making a number of soups and a curry for myself and my partner, and these have been both… Read more ·  1

pretty easy and quick to make, and delicious!

The lid of the Thermocook is less fiddly than that of the TM 31--there's no seal to keep removing and reinserting. Nor do the lid and seal appear stained after making a curry, as they used to with the TM 31. Also, the blade is easier to remove from and reinsert in the Thermocook.

At present I don't like the fact that, whereas the bowl of the TM 31 was like a jug with one handle, the bowl of the Thermocook has to be lifted with two handles, making pouring out the contents awkward, and not a little hazardous. I noted that the Thermocook has, as an accessory, an attachable jug-like handle, and I purchased one, but I didn't feel secure lifting the bowl out of the machine with it. But no doubt, as I persevere, I will get used to the structure and configuration of the Thermocook.

The bowl appears to heat and cook evenly, and the device has a number of safety features built into it, such as refusing to chop the contents until their temperature has dropped beyond a certain point.

A personal gripe is that there do not appear to be any cookbooks for the Thermocook, and I mean, actual, physical books: reading recipes from the screen of the Thermocook is very helpful, but having to rely on a mobile phone to find recipes not already on board the device is uncomfortable for me--I much prefer to have a cookbook open in front of me!

Overall, though, I have no regrets about having replaced the TM 31 with the Thermocook!

Don’t just buy any blender. Buy a ThermoCook – If you are looking for a blender but don’t know what to buy then look no further. This unit is not only a blender but you can create entire dishes with the one machine. Show details ·  1

Poor purchasing – The team absolutely failed in delivering product, a week after ordering it they advised the machine was not available and offered me upgrade to Pro M 3, they then discovered the machine and reversed the upgrade transaction when the machine arrived I had 2 machines delivered and had to arrange for one machine to be returned. I would not recommend dealing with this organisation. Show details

Shiny but less good than TM31 – We previously owned a thermomix 31 for nearly 10 years and wore it out with daily use and abuse. The thermocook is not as useful or versatile despite the sparkly screen and touch functions. The inability to blend anything that is above 60 degrees in particular is a pain. Recipes do not come out as reliably as our old unit. I would honestly buy a second hand TM31 if I had my chance again.

I have brought this (or one like it, i dont remember if it was the 2.0 or 3.0) for my wife. She absolutely loves it. She is a Chef and a amazing one at that. She states that this one machine makes her whole life easier now we have a child some days it would be the only way she has time to cook our meal to the standard it comes without having to ignore our baby for too long. Show details ·  1

I have had my thermocook for 3 years now. The handle just broke, and I love that I was able to order a new part, rather than having to throw out the machine and buy another. Customer service was exceptional throughout this procdess, as the part was not listed on their website. I first bought the thermocook to make 5 grain porridge, as that… Read more ·  1

takes too long for me stand by the stove, but I wanted to include more wholegrains in my diet. Same for brown and black rice. I use the thermocook so much more than I expected. Usually 4 - 5 times per week, but sometimes up to 4 times per day. Other things I use it for regularly include bechamel sauce for lasagne, bread dough, pizza dough, vegetable soups. We actually cook all our rice in it as the rice comes out nicely fluffed in individual grains. Some things that I was surprised to find I use it regularly for are hamburger mixture, coleslaw, mashed potato, boiled eggs. Things that I cook less often, but turn out great because of the temperature control, include custard, lemon curd, jams and chilli paste. It is also great for quick mix cakes, particularly carrot or apple cake, as it grates the carrots and apples so easily. I love that it goes in the dishwasher.

kept me informed throughout. Today I have just made Chicken tiki masala in it which was so easy and much less messy than when I do it in a pan. I also have just made quince paste in it and those who have made this before by hand will know how much it has to be stirred but with the thermocook it does it all for you. I find it sautés well chops well, beats well and always make my soups in it. If I had one complaint it would be that I can't turn it up full to blitz it if the temperature is hot so I usually try and blitz my creamy soups before I heat it so I don't have to wait for it to cool down, I understand that this is a safety feature. Making choux pastry in it is a breeze especially because as you add each egg it just beats it in for you. I have given the build quality a 4 instead of a 5 just because I feel a handle would be helpful. Highly recommend.

ProM2 – Easy getting started instructions. This machine is great. I've tried lots of recipes now and it delivers on taste and quality. The sorbet is amazing but needed more whipping than advised. Having trouble updating machine with new recipes as it won't connect to internet. A handle on this machine would be useful also. Recipes need to be in alphabetical order for ease of finding what you want to cook. Show details ·  1

Great helper in the kitchen – I love my thermocook so far. I still need to get used to using a thermocooker as this is my first experience with it. Inbuilt recipes are great although I think it would be better to have all weighed instead of using cups, spoon etc... measuraments. Show reply
