The Vorwerk Thermomix TM6 powered by a Crank Storyboard UI

Adding advanced technology to appliances will make them much more valuable over time. The Vorwerk Thermomix TM6 is a prime example. The original do-anything kitchen appliance is now in its sixth generation and is the first iteration to truly enter the smart kitchen realm, with both integrated Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.

Equally important, the Thermomix TM6 has a new quad-core processor and 16 GB of memory, enabling storage of new software features, media-rich recipes, and more.
