Loved my thermocooker but now it’s broken, one day I’ll up grade to the pro 3 when I can afford it. Love this company they are friendly and respond to emails quickly and professionally. Thank you froothie. Show reply
This machine is great, it does everything that other Thermo machines do. However, the main reason I absolutely love this machine is the blade system. I also own a Thermomix, and having to take out the blade to scrape out content, like cake batter, is problematic. You have to twist off the bottom of the jug then carefully take out the blade whilst… Read more · 1
making sure none of the left over batter falls through the hole that's in the middle of the jug, all just to be able to scrape everything out, and if you want to put down your jug, you have to sit it on the base or it will topple over, that alone makes me love my Thermocook more. Plus I find it's not as noisy as the Thermomix and its more solid when mixing and vibrating on the base, the base doesn't move and nearly walk off the bench like my Thermomix does, the suction on the Thermocook is stronger than the Thermomix, which is another reason I love it. I have only owned it for a week, but so far so good, and I'm very happy with it at the moment, time will tell.
I think the thermo cook is amazing product but it's lacking one thing the bowl on it is too small Sous Vide if it was a little bit bigger and I had a blade guard it would be amazing I brought the product and can't air fry on it so the two things I love is air frying and sous Vide grateful mashing potatoes is so easy and hundreds of recipes which is really great the company is amazing but they need to look into bettering their product Show details · 1

This is by far the best thermal mixer I’ve used. Love the larger capacity, free recipe library, stainless steel basket and butterfly and large touchscreen. The blades are removable without dismantling the bowl, there is a stirring blade that doesn’t have sharp edges, stainless steel steamer tray and a slicer and grater attachment. The company behind the product is Australian, but it’s also available overseas. Show details · 1
My partner and I recently purchased the 10inch touch display model. Wifi setup was easy, app connectivity is convenient. We have tried cooking basics such as rice, pasta, flat and loaf breads, curries, stir frys, and spaghetti bolognaise so far with good results. The guided cooking is a game changer with over 1000 recipes (more added each month)… Read more · 1
and they are apparently adding a feature soon to create/add in your own recipes. Best part is at time of purchase it was half the price of a thermomix (tm6) with way more stainless steel parts. No regrets so far.
After much debate with my sister who already is proud owner of Thermocook , I decided that I would purchase Thermo 10 , so glad i decided to proceed. I have made 4 dishes and absolutely satisfied with outcome, easy to follow recipes. Looking forward to cooking many more adventures. Show details · 1
I purchased the Thermocook pro 3.0 on 4th June 2026 and I am loving it! I’m enjoying making new meals with different flavours. My husband is also enjoying the different recipes.The recipes are easy to follow and a great variety. The Choco Chip Cookies were a great hit with the grandkids, and they loved following the recipe on screen too! Show details · 1
I am very much satisfied with the functionality of Thermocook Pro M 3.0. Makes work easier for me to prepare food for my family. Show reply
I've had my Thermocook Pro M 3.0 for a while now and absolutely love it. I upgraded from my TM5 mainly because I wanted the larger bowl, and it's been one of the best decisions. It's so easy to use, saves me heaps of time, and makes cooking and meal prep a breeze. I also love how easy it is to convert recipes from other thermo cookers, so I can still make all my family favourites. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anyone considering one. Show details · 1
Love the machine! It’s made so much easier! I can do so many meals a lot quicker now with the thermocook, less mess at the end. I’ve been able to get rid of so many kitchen appliances and make more room now because this machine has replaced heaps of those. Never have I been able to slice potatoes for a potato bake in under 12 seconds until I… Read more · 1
brought this! Cheese cakes are so easy to make now! So many things this machine has made easier for me! There are so many recipes! Definitely worth every cent!
Fantastic machine that does nearly every thing in the kitchen. Love how quick and easy to do every day meal prep, baking, cooking and one bowl that self cleans and built in scales. Show details · 1
The Thermocook was at a price point that attracted me when I was comparing it to the Thermomix, and after also considering the features and build quality, I decided on the Thermocook (10 inch screen). It's amazing! Its features and functions, not to mention its 3 litre bowl capacity make preparing all types of dishes so simple, with inbuilt… Read more · 1
safety features and easy cleanup. It heats and cooks foods evenly, and offers a selection of automatic or manual programs. There is no ongoing cost to access the 1500 plus online and inbuilt recipes, and there is access to a very supportive community group. Highly recommended.

The Thermocook is a game changer. Quick, intuitive and no mess. It self-cleans so there is no washing up! 1200+ recipes are included and these are added to regularly. There are no subscription fees for recipes. Pizza dough is a breeze as are main dishes like honey mustard chicken, beef stroganoff, sweet and sour pork etc. This is a quality… Read more · 1
machine, (predominantly stainless steel) dishwasher safe and half the price of its major competitor. Do your research and the thermocook will sell itself.
Absolutely incredible machine, I have used my thermocook multiple times every single day since it arrived. It powers on so fast, the blades come up to speed just as quickly. The big bowl is so handy with a growing family but I do recommend to get a second bowl just to make life a little easier - i really just wish I had purchased the thermocook sooner+ Show reply
I especially appreciated my new Thermocook when our Grandchildren stayed here over the school holidays and they enjoyed helping Nanna cook. The Automatic Programs and digital usage certainly encouraged them to help. Mango smoothie was a big hit! Show details · 1
I am very happy with the performance and ease of use . The company back up assistance is second to none.. Show details · 4
I've been using my Thermo cook almost daily for over 6months now. The provided recipes that I've used have been delicious but it's easy to manually use it for my tried and true favourites as well. My school aged grandkids have been using it in the school holidays. It allows them to safely and independently cook their own food without the mess. Clean up is a breeze! Show details · 1

I'm getting my head around cooking every day in this machine. Ive cooked desserts, dough, meals (so several things at once - that was like being young again and reading the recipe at each stage instead of just winging it). Tonight I have supervised… Read more · 1
my husband making beef curry. His comment was "this is such a well made machine!" I am raving about it to friends and 1 is looking to buy herself one soon.
Follow-up · I'm delighted this has replaced 2 machines in my kitchen. It fits the space perfectly. I love the self cleaning function... whizz whizz and rinse! Yah. I have been happy to be able to make a sauce in the bottom and steam meatballs in the top steamers. Brilliant!
This machine is amazing! So easy to set up and use! Though some recipes do need tweaking to your likes but that's the same with the old way of cooking! This is so much quicker! Buy this machine! You will not regret it! Show details · 1
Follow-up · I have now had the thermocook for a couple of months. I have used the inbuilt recipes and found it so easy to follow. Even hubby who NEVER cooks has had a go! But any recipe on the net can be adapted to it! Just ask for it to be adapted and whoosh there it is! The only time it can be noisy is the cleaning cycle but I have found hand cleaning is easier! My next goal is to buy another bowl!
I'm absolutely loving this product, I had a different branded machine before with different attachments and this does everything and more my other did but better. I made pasta sauce from scratch in the Thermocook and it was awesome. I did make… Read more · 1
scrambled eggs in it and it did stick to the bottom a bit making clean up a little extra but no more than a frypan I guess. I also make my own plant milk from cashews and almonds and I get a smoother end result than my other machine.
Follow-up · I have had thermocook for a year now and still love it. I have had no problem with it. I don't actually use the preset recipes as I love to make up my own. I tried to save a recipe in favourites but unfortunately it disappeared from favourites. But I have made soups and curries and pasta sauces and plant milks and ice-cream, so far so good.

and everyday family meals, and it makes the whole cooking process so much quicker and easier. I especially love that you can chop, blend, cook and mix all in the same bowl, which also means much less washing up! Highly recommend!
Excellent product and even better customer service! I use my TM3 every day. Love how easy it is to process veggies for the freezer, make yoghurt from scratch, cook delicious dinners, sous vide, slow cook etc. My daughter also loves it and the step by step recipes taught her how to cook on her own. Love the inbuilt scale and the auto clean… Read more · 1

Negative reviews
Some recipes are wrong. My food has turned into paste due to ingredients missing and liquid volumes being wrong. Customer service has been atrocious and they’ve not answered my questions. Don’t buy this product!
Recipes are not detailed enough. I tried to cook pesto pasta. It said pour water and pasta in and it was set to cook for 10 mins. The pasta was not cooked. Should I have used boiling water instead of cold water? Also, It doesn't specify at what stage of recipe the tool needs to be added. This product is not as useful as I thought it would be and… Read more
I've found myself going back to my old way of cooking on the stove instead of using the Thermocook unfortunately.

slow cooker bowl which recently cracked. The built in step by step recipes are easy to follow with instructions for the various attachments to be used. The online community and support and video collection is a helpful resource to assist learning how to use the thermocook for so many kitchen tasks. I thoroughly recommend it.
I use my thermocooker all the time and it has made cooking for my family so much easier, I bake more now for my kids lunchboxes and find batch cooking meals so easy. I really liked the value for money that the thermocooker provided and I’m impressed with the quality of the attachments and how easy everything is to clean. I would recommend this appliance to everyone! I do find the recipes a bit limited but am happy that they are free. Show reply
