Thermomix TM7 Accessories Guide 2026: Everything You Need
The Thermomix TM7 is here – and with it, a whole new generation of possibilities in the kitchen. If you've just invested in the TM7 or have been cooking with it for a while, you might be wondering: Which Thermomix TM7 accessories are really worth it? What protects the device, what makes everyday life easier – and what do I actually not need? This guide answers exactly that.
Why accessories for the TM7 are so important
The TM7 is the most advanced model from Vorwerk to date. New display, revamped controls, even more cooking functions. In short: a high-quality device that deserves proper care and the right add-ons.
Good accessories serve two purposes at once: they protect your device from wear and dirt – and they make cooking itself more pleasant, cleaner and more efficient. Silicone accessories in particular have proven to be the ideal material here: heat-resistant, dimensionally stable, dishwasher-safe and flexible enough for a precise fit.
The most important categories in the TM7 accessories guide
1. Protection for the mixing bowl lid
The lid of the TM7 is one of the most frequently stressed areas during cooking. Splashes, steam, condensation – that all comes with the territory. A matching silicone lid protector keeps the area around the lid clean and prevents residue from building up.
Mixcover offers silicone accessories specifically developed for the TM7, precisely tailored to the device's dimensions. That's not an unimportant detail: poorly fitting accessories are annoying while cooking and quickly end up in the drawer.
2. Splash guard and steam protection
Anyone who cooks regularly knows this: when blending or mixing on a high setting, things can sometimes splash. A silicone splash guard for the TM7 sits on top of the lid and ensures the work surface stays clean – so you don't have to wipe down the entire surrounding area every time.
At the same time, there are special steam protection attachments that prevent hot steam from escaping uncontrollably. Especially during longer cooking times, that's a real comfort gain.
3. Protective mat and underlays
The TM7 is heavy and tends to slip on smooth surfaces. A silicone protective mat under the device protects both the work surface and the bottom of the Thermomix itself from scratches. At the same time, it gives the device a secure hold – even when things get a bit lively during kneading or stirring.
Mixcover carries matching underlays precisely designed for the footprint of the TM7. Made of silicone and dishwasher-safe – simply wash and you're done.
4. Bowl cover and freshness lid
Not every dish is served right away. Sometimes the finished dough, sauce or soup sits in the mixing bowl for a while. A silicone freshness lid for the TM7 seals the mixing bowl cleanly – no cling film, no disposable materials.
The math is simple: a reusable silicone lid replaces a piece of cling film every time – with daily cooking, that adds up over a year. And anyone who has held one of these knows: it's not a compromise solution, it's simply the better option.
5. Steaming baskets and inserts
The TM7 comes with a steaming basket – but anyone who cooks a lot and in variety quickly reaches its limits. Additional silicone inserts and steaming baskets make it possible to cook several components at the same time or to specifically separate certain ingredients from the rest.
Especially practical for families: while the sauce simmers below, vegetables or dumplings cook above. That saves time – and makes the TM7 even more versatile than it already is.
What to look for when buying TM7 accessories
Not every product advertised as "compatible with Thermomix" is really worthwhile. Here are a few criteria you should keep in mind:
Precise fit: Accessories must be developed exactly for the TM7 – not simply for "all Thermomix models". The TM6, TM5 and TM7 differ in dimensions and details. What works with the TM6 may fit poorly on the TM7.
Material: Silicone is the first choice. It stays flexible, doesn't warp with heat and absorbs less odor than thin hard plastic – especially when the accessory is heated in the mixing bowl or Varoma, that makes all the difference.
Dishwasher-safe: Who wants the extra hassle of hand care? Quality silicone accessories can handle the dishwasher without warping or absorbing odors.
Origin: Made in Germany is no empty promise when it comes to kitchen accessories. It stands for clear quality standards in materials and craftsmanship.
Mixcover meets all of these criteria – backed by over 1,000 five-star reviews showing that customers feel the same way.
