Cecotec has revolutionized the world of vacuuming, with its range of robot vacuum cleaners Conga and their vacuum cleaners Conga RockStar. In both cases, it has managed to position itself as an alternative, in some aspects even superior, to the traditional leader in those markets, Roomba and Dyson.
With its range of Mambo robots, Cecotec takes another step in its process of democratizing access to technology, also offering an alternative to the well-known Thermomix.
Features of Mambo kitchen robots
Mambo kitchen robots are characterized by a wide range of functions, ranging from 23 in the first model, presented in 2018, to 30 functions offered by robots launched in 2019.
La large capacity of its jug and the possibility of making several meals at the same time, thanks to its 2-level steamer and its boiling basket, make them ideal for preparing large quantities of food, or making various dishes, according to the tastes and needs of the family.
In the new generation, the jug has been redesigned to be dishwasher safe, providing even greater comfort.
The innovative MamboMix spoon is one of the highlights of Mambo robots, since it allows you to cook in the traditional way, "taking care" of the food, without crushing or destroying it, as happens in other robots with blades.
Also, some models include precision scale, for those recipes that need greater accuracy or to follow a regimen, and ceramic jug, for those foods that stick more or in which we want to obtain a more intense and traditional flavor.
In the case of the top of the range, the 10090, it also includes connection via app, for greater convenience when preparing recipes.

Mambo vs Thermomix
Mambo has come to compete with Thermomix. Cecotec robots not only measure up in many aspects to the current market leader, but in some cases, they are even superior.
And also, at prices well below those of the Vorwerk robot, which is why The price-performance ratio is much higher in the case of Spanish robots.
Thermomix has recently presented the tenth generation of its robot, the TM6. This version provides some improvements over the TM5, which had been on the market for 5 years, such as the integration of Wi-Fi in the device itself, a larger screen, and some functionalities such as high temperature cooking, vacuum cooking, slow cooking or fermentation, for example.
For its part, the new generation of Mambo offers 30 functions (more than the new Thermomix, which according to Vorwerk itself, has "more than 20") and also has a touch screen.
Starting with the 8090 model, they include a precision scale, gram by gram (one of the improvements that the TM6 has also included, since the TM5 went from 5 to 5 grams).
Power
Both the Thermomix and the Mambo robots show very high power when working and great efficiency when cutting, grinding or pulverizing food. We show you how the pulverized dried chickpeas look with both machines:
Accessories
Both the Thermomix TM6 and the Mambo robots come well equipped, with various accessories that will make our lives easier. In both cases, they have a large steamer, a flexible spatula, a measuring cup, a butterfly accessory, steel blades and a boiling basket (from Mambo 7090), which in the case of the TM has a cover. For its part, the Mambo includes the MamboMix spoon, an accessory that we find really interesting, and that we discuss in detail later.
Steamer
In both cases, the steamer allows you to prepare several portions or different foods, preserving their vitamins. Mambo's is a little bigger, although the difference is not too significant.
Internet connection
In the case of Thermomix, the model presented in 2019, the TM6, includes, in addition to a slightly larger screen than its predecessor, the integration of Wi-Fi in the device itself. At Mambo, its top of the range, the 10090, will include connection to an app, to make the task of cooking with the robot easier.
The MamboMix spoon takes care of food
One of the biggest and most important differences between both brands is the MamboMix spoon included with the Cecotec brand.
This accessory allows you to turn, knead, stir or stir the food without breaking or cracking it, unlike what happens with other brands' blades. Thus, the meals prepared with the Cecotec robot look better, as if they were made in the traditional way.
Below, we tell you some examples of how Mambo is more delicate with food, obtaining a better result:
With Mambo, rice grains and mushrooms appear more whole, while more waste appears in the one prepared with Thermomix.
The appearance of minced meat mixed with the Spanish robot seems more homemade, while with Thermomix it has turned out like a paste.
The dough made with Mambo appears smoother, as if kneaded by hand, while in the other you can see the cuts of the blades.
