Our verdict

A seven-in-one multi-cooker that closes its own steam valve. It needs sizeable counter space, and the listing gives no wattage.

Overview

A kitchen counter short on space is where this multi-cooker earns its place, replacing a pressure cooker, saute pan, steamer, slow cooker, rice cooker, food warmer and yogurt maker with one base. Its lid shuts the steam valve by itself, and a progress indicator shows each stage.

The auto-sealing lid removes the common mistake of leaving the valve open, and the preset programs cover everyday meals. The limit is bulk and detail: the pot needs real counter room, and wattage is absent from the listing.

Who it's for

Families cooking batch meals and side dishes will use the programs and the pressure-release feature. Singles with small kitchens, or cooks wanting crisping, should check size and functions first.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Seven functions in one cooker
  • Progress indicator on the display
  • Dishwasher safe per listing
Cons
  • Wattage is not listed
  • Needs sizeable counter space
  • No air fry function listed

Performance notes

Sealing the lid traps steam so pressure builds, and the quick-release button lets it out faster at the end. The smart programs set time and mode for common dishes, while the display shows progress through the stages.
