The Thermomix Travel Bag will protect your investment while you take it with you
I know, I know, I get a bit carried away when I talk about Thermomix. And speaking of carrying things away, I carry my Thermomix with me to people’s homes when I do demonstrations.
But I also take my Thermomix with me when I go on holiday. No, Dear Reader, I’m not crazy! On the contrary, I think I’m quite smart, and so does ThermoHubby John. Because by taking my Thermomix with me on holiday – be it to a self-catering cottage, on a boat or in a caravan – I can ensure that we eat the same fast and easy meals as we do at home. Pretty smart, eh?
This means I need to protect my Best Friend in the Kitchen during transport so I can protect my investment and continue to make fast and easy, healthy and creative meals for years to come. After all, Thermomix deserves some special treatment!
The main compartment of the Thermomix Travel Bag is padded for extra protection
So how do I protect the world’s smallest, smartest kitchen? I transport my Thermomix in the specially designed Thermomix Travel Bag. It has padded sides to protect the Thermomix itself, and a separate compartment for the Varoma steamer with room enough for your Fast and Easy Cooking book. There are pockets for your spatula and your Butterfly whisk, too.
The compartments zip open and closed with heavy-duty zippers which have the cutest zipper pulls sporting the Thermomix blade logo, and a Velcro seal to ensure they stay shut. There are sturdy feet to protect the bottom of the bag from scuffs and scrapes. The two handles are padded for comfort and are kept together with Velcro for a well-balanced load.

Our bag here in the UK is black while the Australian version is emerald green, but they both offer the same design and protection for your Thermomix.

I bought this bag with the intention of taking my Thermomix on holidays to Queensland.
I was all packed ready to go when I discovered that the combined weight of the Thermomix (without the blades which were packed in my checked baggage) and bag was above the 7kg limit allowed for carry on baggage. The Thermomix stayed home.
What a shame your airline only allows 7kg of carry on luggage, you must have missed your Thermomix
I forget that Australia is so large you fly many places. Here in the UK the problem is lesser as the country is smaller. The Thermomix in its travel bag only weighs just over 10kg so it’s easy to pop into the car, on the boat or in the caravan. It’s light enough to take on the train, too. Better luck next time, Margaret!
I basically replaced almost all of my kitchen appliance when I bought the Thermomixbecause it can do so much. It also doesn’t take that much space so my kitchen looks neat and organized.
hi
i also bought the travel bag as we are moving overseas and it is definitely coming with me!!
i have been trying to find out what is the best way to fly on the aeroplane with it. i did want to carry it on with the blades checked in my luggage. but from reading Margarets post it seems it will be over the carry on weight limit. will it be safe enough to check it in or will the scales get damaged or broken?
i’m in a bit of a predicament as i am not leaving australia without it hehe!! do you have any advice on how to fly with this amazing machine? thank you

Hi Tyne, Gillian has kindly offered her personal experience on flying in Australia with her Thermomix in another comment. I hope it helps you!
Jane – interesting post! Here are some additional thoughts – the ‘must have’ aspect of the travelbag is that it has a specially designed base that protects the sensitive feet/weighing scales on the base of the machine. Also, depending on what the airlines’s specific rules are: my experience is that you *can* take the Thermomix on board, as hand luggage. My advice: take only the main part of the machine in the travelbag, the varoma, spatula, whisk, and (definitely!) the blades should all be safely packed (& padded) in the suitcase/checked in luggage. I added a toothbrush and other key items into my hand luggage /Thermomix bag, it worked brilliantly. I flew Singapore Airlines, economy. Cut price airlines may have greater restrictions on hand luggage.
HTH!

Thanks very much, Gillian, for the excellent information concerning the travel bag’s specially designed base that protects Thermomix’s sensitive feet and weighing scales. I’m especially pleased you shared your personal experience of Travelling with Thermomix on an airline; I’m sure it will answer many people’s questions. Brilliant!
Hi, I’m just curious regarding the way the TM sits whilst travelling. I have not yet invested in a travel bag, but have kept the (large) box for packing my TM when I travel in the caravan. My consultant explained the box was necessary for transporting the TM because it rests on its side, thereby protecting the sensitive scales. Am I correct in assuming that the specially designed base of the travel bag (as mentioned in earlier posts) does the same job as transporting it on its side?
Hi Deb, thanks for this interesting comment and question. I’ve never heard of transporting the Thermomix on its side in the box and have requested advice on this directly from UK Thermomix. I can confirm, however, that you assume correctly in that the specially designed base of the travel bag has a padded insert to protect the base of the Thermomix and the weighing scales.
I will post further information once I receive it from UK Thermomix. Thanks for reading Why Is There Air and happy Thermomix cooking!
Hi again, Deb. Here’s what UK Thermomix had to say about transporting Thermomix: “The Thermomix happens to be packed on its side in the box it comes in. Just like any electronic equipment you need to treat it with care and the travel bag is well designed to afford it protection.”
I hope this helps. As far as I’m concerned, the Thermomix travel bag is well worth its reasonable cost to protect our Best Friend in the Kitchen
Hello there
I was told by my consultant that when using the bag, TM sits upright and the base of the bag is designed so that the scales are protected.
If you don’t have a bag, lay TM on its side (the same way it came in its original box) and this will protect the scales.
HTH
Thanks for this, Chantal. Laying the Thermomix on its side is an Australian practice that seems founded on good sense. Here in the UK we recommend purchasing the Travel Bag as it is very convenient and protects the Thermomix and its scales as you mention. It’s also very good value as protection for your Best Friend in the Kitchen!
