Best Smart Thermomix & Kitchen Robots
We tested the top smart kitchen assistants to find the best for automated cooking, from Thermomix to Ninja Foodi.
What is a Thermomix?
A Thermomix is an all-in-one kitchen robot that chops, blends, steams, cooks, and kneads. It guides you through recipes with built-in instructions.
Our Top Pick: Thermomix TM6
The Thermomix TM6 is the gold standard. 12 functions in one machine, guided cooking, and over 100,000 recipes in the app. Yes, it's expensive - but it's incredibly capable.
- 12 functions: blend, chop, weigh, cook, steam, knead, whisk, grind, emulsify, stir, heat, sous-vide
- Guided cooking with step-by-step instructions
- Built-in scale
- Connected app with thousands of recipes
Best Alternative: Ninja Foodi Multi-Cooker
The Ninja Foodi offers many Thermomix functions at a fraction of the price. Pressure cooking, air frying, sous vide, and more.
Best Value: Instant Pot Duo
For budget-conscious cooks, the Instant Pot Duo does 90% of what the Thermomix does for 1/4 the price.
Our Verdict
If you have the budget, the Thermomix TM6 is unparalleled. But for most home cooks, the Ninja Foodi offers the best value.
