Considering a Thermomix?

As a Thermomix consultant, I often hear comments like, “It looks amazing!”, “I wish I could afford one.”, “I just don’t have the money for it right now.”, or “One day, I’ll get a Thermomix.”
If you’ve ever thought the same, I want to take a moment to shift the perspective—from saving for a Thermomix to saving with a Thermomix. In this post, we’ll explore how owning a Thermomix can actually help you cut costs, make life easier, and bring value far beyond its price tag.
If you’ve known me for a while, you might remember when I first came across the TM31. Back in 2007/2008, while working as a full-time live-in nanny in Sydney’s Eastern Suburbs, I had the pleasure of meeting Grace Mazur as she traveled across Australia delivering Thermomixes. That moment sparked my interest, though at the time, owning one felt out of reach.
Fast forward to 2015—Greg and I picked up a Bellini. Even compared to the TM31, it didn’t come close, but I made the most of it and used it until it wore out. Then, in 2018, I finally got my TM5. Since I was using it for daycare, I was able to claim most of it as a business expense, making it an even smarter investment.
By 2020, a couple of friends were interested in the TM6. Honestly, I wasn’t even looking at upgrading, but I invited a friend over to do a demo, and by the end of it, both of those friends were ready to buy. Greg walked in towards the end, saw something that convinced him, and said, “You need this one. It’s so much better!” At the time, Thermomix was offering the incredible Earn for 4 program—four sales in 60 days to earn your Thermomix. After a few days of debating, I took the leap, signed the terms and conditions, paid my deposit, and got started on September 1st. I closed three sales in my first 24 hours, six within my first 60 days, and the rest is history!
Why am I sharing this? Because if you truly want something, you’ll find a way to make it happen.
It took me 10 years to get my TM5—10 years!!
When I finally did, we used 36 months interest-free on Zip to make it happen. It wasn’t an instant purchase, but it was an investment that changed the way we cooked, ate, and managed our meals.
How You Can Get a Thermomix
So, you’re ready to bring a Thermomix into your kitchen—now let’s look at how you can make it happen!
1. Buy Outright
If you have the savings or income to pay upfront, this is the simplest option. But let’s be real—many people just don’t have the spare cash sitting around for a big purchase like this. That’s where other options come in!
2. Finance Options
There are several flexible finance options available, making it easier to spread the cost over time:
Humm
Interest-Free Periods:
3 months interest-free for purchases up to $3,000

3. Earn Your Thermomix (The Best Option!)
In my books, the best way to get a Thermomix on your bench is to earn it! By joining as a Thermomix Consultant, you can take advantage of the various EARN programs Earn for 6, Earn for 4 or Even Earn for 3 programs when available—sell just six/four/three Thermomixes in 60 days, and you get yours for free!
No matter your situation, there’s a way to make owning a Thermomix a reality. The key is to find the option that works best for you! 💚
How Can the Savings Cover Your Repayments?
This is the biggest question I get—how on earth can a Thermomix pay for itself? The answer is simple: it saves you money in ways you might not even realize!
Let’s break it down.
1. Cutting Down on Takeaway & Convenience Foods
How often do you grab takeaway because you’re too tired to cook?
How many pre-packaged meals or snacks do you buy each week?
A single takeaway meal for a family can cost $50+—do that once a week, and that's $200+ per month!
With a Thermomix, you can whip up quick, easy, and delicious meals at home in minutes—saving you a fortune on last-minute UberEats or drive-thru runs.
2. No More Packaged & Processed Foods
Yogurt, bread, dips, stock paste, muesli bars—these add up fast at the supermarket.
Making them yourself in the Thermomix costs a fraction of store-bought prices—and no preservatives!
Example: A tub of quality Greek yogurt is $6-$8; making it in a Thermomix costs $1.50 per litre!
3. Say Goodbye to Coffee Shop Bills
If you buy 1 coffee a day at $5, that’s $150 a month or $1,800 a year!
With the Thermomix, you can make barista-quality coffee at home—hot or iced—for cents per cup!
4. Meal Planning = Less Food Waste
The Thermomix makes it easy to meal plan and use up leftovers creatively.
No more throwing away forgotten veggies or expired fridge items—you can turn scraps into soups, sauces, or doughs.
Less waste = less money in the bin!
5. Bulk Cooking & Freezing
With a Thermomix, you can cook in bulk and freeze meals, reducing your grocery bill.
No more expensive ready-made freezer meals—make your own for pennies per serve!
6. Save on Electricity & Appliances
The Thermomix replaces multiple kitchen appliances (blender, food processor, slow cooker, rice cooker, etc.).
Uses less power than running multiple gadgets at once.
The Bottom Line: The Savings Add Up!
Most finance options for a Thermomix cost $40–$60 per week, meaning that your savings easily cover your repayments!
So Instead of Saving for a Thermomix... Let Your Thermomix Save for You!
Rather than waiting years to save up for one, start saving WITH it now and enjoy the benefits straight away.
Let’s do some quick math:
Wonder White / Tip Top Bread
Cost of Wonder White / Tip Top Bread: $4.50 per loaf
Homemade Bread with Thermomix: Costs about $1.50 per loaf
Monthly Savings: If your family buys 4 loaves of bread a week, that’s a savings of $12 per week or $48 per month!
Sourdough Bread
Cost of Sourdough Bread: $6-$8 per loaf
Homemade Sourdough Bread with Thermomix: Costs about $3.50 per loaf
Monthly Savings: If you buy 2 loaves of sourdough bread a week, that’s a savings of $5 per week or $20 per month!
Liquid Gold (Homemade Vegetable Stock Paste)
Cost of Campbell’s Real Stock Liquid: $3.50 per litre
Homemade Stock Paste: A batch of Thermomix vegetable stock paste costs about $1.50 for 500g, which makes multiple litres of stock.
Monthly Savings: If your family uses 4 bottles of Campbell’s Real Stock per month, that’s a savings of $8 per month by making your own stock paste.
Jam
Cost of Jam: $4.50 for a small jar
Making your own jam in the Thermomix costs about $2.50 for a jar
Monthly Savings: If your family goes through a jar of jam a week, that’s a savings of $2 per week or $8 per month
Cereal
Cost of Cereal: $5-$7 per box
Making homemade muesli in the Thermomix costs about $3 per batch
Monthly Savings: If your family consumes 2 boxes of cereal a week, that’s a savings of $4 per week or $16 per month
Store-Bought Sauces (Pasta, Pizza, etc.)
Cost of Store-Bought Sauces: $3-$5 per jar
Making your own pizza or pasta sauce in the Thermomix costs about $2 per batch
Monthly Savings: If your family buys 4 jars of sauce per month, that’s a savings of $2 per week or $8 per month
Yogurt
Cost of Store-Bought Yogurt: $5 per 1kg tub
Homemade Yogurt with Thermomix: Costs about $1.50 per 1kg batch
Monthly Savings: If your family buys 4 tubs of yogurt a month, that’s a savings of $14 per month.
Spice Mixes
Cost of Store-Bought Spice Mixes: $2.50 per packet
Homemade Spice Mixes with Thermomix: Costs about $0.50 per batch
Monthly Savings: If your family buys 4 spice mixes per month, that’s a savings of $8 per month.
