Is a Thermomix worth it? The maths for whoever holds the budget

Here's what usually happens. One partner comes to a demo and falls in love. The other one sees the price tag and asks the fair question: is it worth it? So let's do the maths properly.

The price

The TM7 costs $2,649. That's a lot for a kitchen appliance, so it has to earn its keep.

Cost per meal

Say you use it for four dinners a week for five years. That's around 1,040 meals, which works out to about $2.55 a meal for the machine. Breakfasts, bread, sauces and lunches bring that number down even further.

The takeaway swap

A family takeaway night often costs $60 or more. A home-cooked dinner is closer to $20. Swap just one takeaway night a week and you save about $40 a week, or roughly $2,080 a year. At that rate the TM7 pays for itself in about 16 months.

My honest advice

Come to a demo together. Online works well for this. Ask me the hard questions, and buy it only if it fits your family.

These numbers are a rough guide. Your costs will be different.
