Magimix Cook Expert vs Thermomix TM6? A Thermie Expert's Opinion

- Over the last 10 years, my family and I have cemented ourselves as the go-to resource for all things thermo cooking - recipes, cookbooks, accessories, tutorials and more! This started with the Thermomix as the original and only thermo cooker (my first Thermomix was a TM21 - I’ve since had a TM31, TM5 and now TM6!), but over the years other brands and machines have entered the market, and we’re here to serve users of them all! Different machines offer different features and advantages, and importantly are offered at vastly different price points. My mission has always been to get more people cooking more often and from scratch, so the more options for consumers, the better as far as I’m concerned!
Want to know my thoughts on the Magimix Cook Expert compared with the Thermomix TM6? I’ve put my honest options in this video. While I do make a small commission on sales of the Magimix Cook Expert (if you use the below links!), this video is absolutely impartial, and in about half the criterion I do prefer the Thermomix. I really hope you find it useful!

Finally a proper comparaison ! I’m French … we have million of videos but non of them was able to talk accurately about the main key differentiator .
Thanks a ton!
my pleasure, i am so glad it was helpful!! xx
I have a Magimix CE. love it. I have a comment on the negative aspect of the scale. I really like the fact that it is separate for 2 reasons. The first is that if you are measuring straight into the bowl already containing ingredients, and put in slightly too much, you can’t always take it out again. If you use the portability of the very accurate Magimix scale you just weigh accurately then add. No real difference at that point. The second reason is that if the scale dies for what ever reason, the Magimix one is fully replaceable as are all the individual parts. With a 30 year guarantee on the motor, it makes sense that some parts are going to pack up before the expensive main unit. Another comment I have re storage of all the accessories; the Magimix replaces so many appliances, you can make so much more room in your kitchen by getting rid of the other things. 😀 also the little bowl on the FP mills really well, even one piece of garlic beautifully. It’s only a tiny bowl to rinse. You do have to plan ahead a bit though. I do concede that. Great review… now more videos cooking with the Magimix please 🥰
Excellent video thanks so much. I went with the Magimix. Absolutely love it especially being able to see what happening. And it’s all so solidly made also can’t go past the 30 years warranty on the motor.. and getting a full food processor….
Bought a Magimix March this year 2022. Absolutely love it. Love the size and shape of the Magimix bowl. So versatile. Yesterday I made pumpkin soup, spelt bread, banana cake and banana ice cream! Amazing. Having said that I use my Vitamix for milling. No problem. Plus you get a full sized food processor with the Magimix. What’s not to love! The scales are not a problem. Plus if there’s a problem with the scales you lose your whole machine while it gets fixed. Plus you can use the scales for other things. The Expert function in the Magimix is really good.
Would way prefer having the two appliances than the thermo mix
I'd NEVER give up my Vitamix and yes, you can mill with it (the "dry" container is especially helpful).
@@HotVoodooWitchI have to say I use my vitamix everyday. Love it so much. Would never give it up.
I had all my appliances going the other day for different things. Vitamix, CE, food processor and pressure cooker….they all have their place. Love my Cook Expert. The Food Processor sold me on CE.
@@astrochakrasynergysystem1480 I SO wish the CE (especially the XL) were available in North America. I like my Thermomix but it could use a friend. 😉 And truth be told, the CE looks to be a much better appliance.
@@HotVoodooWitch wow I thought the CE was available everywhere. Yes with all the stainless steel I think it’s a better option. I’ve had mine for over a year now and it’s opened up a world of cooking everything! Warmest blessings!
Thank you so much for this thorough review! I definitely know what I need to!
Great video!! Very helpful!! Thanks ❤️❤️
A fair comparison and tips. Thank you!
Would love to see you do some more cooking in the magi mix! 🌸
thanks Jess!! Will try! x
Great review, very balanced, thank you.
Thanks, very interesting and informative 👍
Very informative and clear thank you. However, there is one feature that you didn’t mention which I find useful is the fact that the Magimix has an induction compared to the thermomix
very good point, thank you Terese!
Thanks Alyce great review.
thank you Dianne!
Excellent review
thank you!! xo
Very intersting. What about the guided cooking? And amount of available recipes? Thank you!
great video... I am trying to figure out what to get. I like the magimix more but my space is really small so probably will go for the TM6.
Go for the CE--it's a much more comprehensive appliance, I think.
@@HotVoodooWitch I already got the TM6, I am happy with it so far.
@@apiastos76 Congratulations!
I like mine as well but still want a Cook Expert. What can I say--I'm an appliance ho. 🤷🏼♀ (However, if I'd had a choice and had to limit myself to one, I'd have gone with the CE.)
Really good comparison thanks for your effort. I still can't decide though haha
glad I could help Louis!! xo
I bought a Tokit auto cooker machine last month, it more cheap. You may think about it else.
Stay still blade, high temperature cooking (without buying this function🙄), big bowl - those is the winning points. I have TM5 and 6 as well.
I gave away my TM5 (the recipient was thrilled) when I upgraded to the TM6. I still have my TM31, which I continue to love--really cute for one person and I like the buttons. ☺
Thank you for the balanced and fair comparison. In 2014 I purchased a second hand TM31 unaware of the seal/ lid safety issues brewing at the time. The TM31 excels at milling spices, milling grain into flour and making icy sorbets, probably due to the narrower bowl. Seeking a safer alternative for high temp. cooking, after a lot of research, I bought a Magimix Cook Expert due to: being available in stores, overall functionality, larger bowl, bigger steel steaming basket and varoma, see through twist-locking lid, food processor capability and various attachments. The accurate, separate scales are really handy. Love the XL bowl. I prefer the control I have with the CE, like not having to wait for the machine to unlock the lid or needing to follow in-machine recipe steps. Was so impressed with the CE after 2 years I bought a second. Dough can be proving in one whilst the other is being used as a food processor or cooking a stew. Very happy with the Magimix. TM is better for milling.
So, I reckon one of each! I think I'll sell my second TM6 and get a Magimix.
hah love this! although i do thik having two of the same is really handy as you can use the bowls and accessories interchangably between the two machines
@@alycealexandra Alyce, do you guys have access to the Thermomix Friend? (No, we don't in the U.S.)
You did a stellar job of providing an unbiased comparison. I’m SO envious. No CE for the U.S. market, so no choice. I have a TM6 but would rather have bought the CE. Magimix’s U.S. distributor chose not to offer the CE because of its price. Ah, well . . .
thank you!!! So wish i could help. The TM6 is great though!! xx
@@alycealexandra what's sad is that Bosch (NA distributor) could've found a real niche during the pandemic (assuming they could provide cookers). So many people were cooking more at home.
ETA: people were baking a lot more, too.
Could I please ask about how you feel either of these would be comparable to the KitchenAid stand mixer? I have a TM31 but have found I could never part with my stand mixer for large batch cakes and things like creaming batter for cupcakes. It's such an investment to upgrade on either!
Also as far as encouraging kids and teens to cook? I have toddlers and a tween that want to help but alot of the time it's just not doable but I'm not entirely sure any machine can help with that 😅
If you plan to bake even semi-seriously, may I recommend that you look into an Ankarsrum rather than a KA?
I love my TM31! I also have a TM6.
They both look good, but magimix is a food processor, and the thrmx is a blender.
How does the Magimix CE compare to a pressure cooker?
it doesn't it is not a pressure cooker, doesn't have a pressure cooking mode. its like saying how does a motorcycle compare to a car.
• • Thermomix vs Tokit? • •🤔 Thank you for the great video! I have been researching thermo cookers, leaning towards the Thermomix, but recently found out that the Tokit has a lot of advantages too. Have you done a review on that? I couldn't find one on your channel. The only solid thermomix versus tokit review I found seemed a little biased towards the tokit, but seemingly with good reason. Pluses were: the better temperature accuracy in Tokit (using external thermometer) vs Thermomix, where external thermometer revealed lower temp than stated on the screen ☹️. Also a wider bottom steamer on the Tokit. I do trust the Vorwerk brand, as we had their vacuum cleaner in Italy for 50 years and it never broke. My cooking will be simple and time is a major factor, I'm not much of a cook and work many hours, tho I only have myself to look after and maybe some dinners for friends. Not sure the expense is justified for just single me. Your magimix looks great, I too would prefer glass and metal, but it seems too big for just myself needing to whip up a meal in a short time, as you said... and not having much experience in the kitchen. Do you plan on a Tokit review? Have you seen the one by the other Australian lady and if so, what do you think. Lower price for Tokit, but I don't know the longevity of the brand.
Sorry for the really long post. Thanks for reading,🙏 if u got till here, I appreciate your work❤️ and will definitely be checking out your books once I get myself a thermo cooker. 😁
Ann Reardon (How to cook that) had a great comparison of the two. I think the biggest differences between the two is the steamer, higher temp of the Tokit, and while both have guided recipes, the Thermomix has a much better guided recipe database but requires a subscription whereas the Tokit has fewer guided recipes but does not require a subscription.
I personally went the Tokit because I like stir fried food, and the Tokit is much better for that and east Asian style foods (makes sense as it was developed by Chinese engineers), and by extension also good for Mexican food which requires higher heat for some things too. Plus the Tokit is several hundred dollars cheaper (though if the Thermomix could hit higher temperatures the Tokit could and have that be accessible in manual mode, I'd have gone for that instead due to the guided recipes)
@@nihouma11 Recipes are constantly added for the Tokit.
Magimix and Thermomix should REALLY be watching this video. ;-) (or maybe some entirely different rival company)...On a personal level...Bench space is my issue.
hah they definitely should!! check out my slide for your appliance - definitely helps with bench space! www.alycealexandra.com/thermomix-products/thermo-deluxe-slide its sold out at the moment, but more coming soon! xx
@@alycealexandra Brilliant product! thank you for the information, much appreciated!
Turn off the annoying holding music! I had to switch off after 10 mins. So repetitive
I agree with that, but this lady did a great job and yes, having adhd, I cannot really turn it off, but she shined in her review... but yes, perhaps either use a long classical piece, much longer, or no music. You did a fab review and I did listen to the end (with a little ear grinding 🤣)
I didn’t even hear it til you mentioned it 😂
There was no discussion about the Thermomix on line recipes and guided cooking. Does the other thermo cooker have the same features?
NO music PLEASE, it is annoying!🙄 Great info!
Magimix blows that thermo mix away it's not even close or funny.Magimix has the food processing feature and juicing features,that alone is a big plus.The only thing l wish with the magimix is a smaller soup bowl like that steaming bowl but for cooking soups and frying eggs,even without the rotating blades in it.When you dont feel like using a big,deeper bowl.Thank you.
Te short-repeat background jingle is driving me mad.
Bye.
But the problem is that its harder buy these than cars. So so horrible.
I don't want to wait 3 month for delivery. And I don't want to my through a person. I want to click on online and buy it in sec and get it max in a week.
That's is a joke I need to wait 3 month and need to buy from a respective person.
Its truly harder and more difficult to buy them than a car or anything else.They need to change that. Its a joke
Im sorry that's been the experience, that is so frustrating!! Honestly I have nothing to do with the purchase of either machine, so I can't help, but wish i could! xo
@@alycealexandra yeah of course it's not your fault
I watched your video for 1 minute, as I quicly found out that you were only talking. That is not a comparison of devices, it's an intention to talk for 20 minutes.
