The Thermomix® TM7 is now available in Australia
How can the Thermomix® help people with disability?
Note: this post has been updated in June 2025 to reflect the safety features of the current model, the Thermomix® TM7.
The many Thermomix® functions, modes and safety features contribute to the Thermomix® being of help to many people with disability.
Of course, everyone's needs are different, so one person will find some features more important than others, and the next person will have other priorities.
When using for dishes that you would otherwise cook in a pot on the stove, some of the key features that may appeal to you include:
- the cooking temperature can only be set if a time is set – therefore you cannot leave things cooking and forget them
- food is cooked at a consistent temperature
- food is stirred throughout the cooking process
- there is red light indicator when the bowl is hot (else green when not hot)
- the bowl is secured so you can't remove the bowl until it is safe to do so
Other features you may need and like:
- step-by-step guided cooking means you do not need to be able to follow a recipe – just follow the steps
- the linked recipe database, Cookidoo®, has thousands of recipes and can be searched by numerous filters including ingredients, difficulty, time required etc.
- the Thermomix® is portable, so can be used on any table or bench to suit you
- the bowl has has insulated exterior which means it won't get hot to touch and can be lifted with two hands. It will also keep food hotter for longer.
- settings allow you to alter the volume and duration of the sound that plays when a cooking step ends
- settings allow you to alter the brightness of the screen
- settings allow you to increase the font size of the text on the screen
- settings allow you to change the language used on the Thermomix®
- there is an optional Blade Cover & Peeler attachment that will peel your vegetables for you – hands free!
- the Thermomix® Cutter is a new optional accessory that will slice and grate fruit and vegetables quickly and safely. (it will be available soon for the TM7)

Hi,
Don’t forget to check the current specials page on the site:
https://thermojo.com/current-offers-from-thermomix-and-kobold/
For example today the Kobold vacuum cleaner products and mop attachments are a massive 25% off.
This has the real advantage of bringing the total for the combined Kobold vacuum and mop below $1500 meaning you can purchase it out of your low cost AT (adaptive technology) budget or through other flexible core funding, providing you have sufficient funds without needing to get prior NDIA approval.
Contact Jo if you need any help with the process.
