This is large enough for a hungry family. The cord is a bit short, And seems mainly designed to be used right in front of an outlet. I find this a bit problematic because I don't have that many outlets that don't already have something in front of them. Also with slow cookers, I often like to use them on the kitchen table itself and the cord is not long enough to reach from the kitchen table to the outlet which is right behind the table but lower.Also the handles get hot. The handles on the main body are metal and they do get hot.The menu is easy to use but not as flexible as I'd like. It's intuitive and it seems to get things set on different cooking styles. However it seems hard to adjust variables actually on the fly during the cooking process itself.It holds a lot and works well enough- it's good at cooking rice and slow cooked meals. I love that it has a sear function- It's great to be able to sear a roast before slow cooking it.I appreciate that after it finishes up the time in a slow cook recipe it automatically moves to a warm function.

If you’ve ever bought anything off brand, then you know what to expect here.This is a good, functioning, multi cooker. It is true to style, size, design, etc. as shown in photos.It was well packaged and worked on first try. The options and use of buttons required us to read the manual to understand each one. They’re not typical US options that you see on a Ninja or other brand name. For example. We didn’t understand what “stew” would be for vs. slow cooking a stew recipe.We used this for slow cooking, it worked great on high and low but honestly we like our traditional crock pot. Not much different but less clunky appliance.We used this on rice cooker, it didn’t work out well but could be used error.We tried grill mode as well, we prefer our WeberOverall, if you are tight on space and can deal with off-brand settings, this could work but the price point is way too high for what you get. It’s not a bad appliance. There are just much better and cheaper options here in US. We also found it a bit bulky to store.

The price on this is definitely quadruple what I recall slow cookers cost back when we got one for our wedding, but then again, 20 years have passed since then. Not to mention that this one also has a nifty food steamer. We've used this for preparing bigger meals for when extended family comes over that my tiny Instant Pot can't put out for. Aside from the eye-watering price, we're mostly satisfied with it.While we've only used it in those two capacities, I'm also excited to try this out as a nearly-mess-free griddle that keeps all the oils contained. We'll probably stick to the Instant Pot for rice; pressure cookers just work faster for those things.The quality of the unit is solid. My old slow cooker had a hefty porcelain basin, so I was surprised with how light this unit felt. The metal main pot feels like it could take a beating. I wish the steamer was also metal instead of plastic; I worry about smells being trapped in the plastic after several uses. Controls are intuitive.As for performance, well, slow cookers just kind of "do their thing". The thin metal heats (and cools) relatively quickly compared to the porcelain pot of yore. You do have to be mindful that the outside of the metal gets extremely hot (like the sides of a pot on a stove). This appliance is absolutely massive compared to my Instant Pot and even my old slow cooker, so its ability to make meals for a crowd is a selling point. But if you have limited storage space, this may not be the gadget for you.

This is a really versatile multi cooker, and I like the idea of having one appliance that can replace several different things on the counter.The 6.5-quart capacity is a good size for everyday meals, especially if you are cooking for a few people or want enough room for leftovers. It is large enough for soups, stews, rice, meat, vegetables, and bigger one-pot meals without being ridiculously oversized.What makes it stand out is the number of cooking modes. You can slow cook, steam, sauté, grill, stew, stir-fry, heat, and cook rice, so it is not just a dressed-up slow cooker. Being able to brown or sauté ingredients in the same pot before switching over to a slower cooking mode is especially convenient because it cuts down on extra pans and cleanup.The ceramic nonstick cooking surface is another feature I like. Food releases easily, and cleanup is much easier than dealing with a traditional metal insert. I also appreciate that the listing specifically states the coating is PFAS-free.The included steamer adds even more flexibility. You can steam vegetables, seafood, dumplings, and other foods without needing a separate appliance. The removable parts being dishwasher safe is also a big plus because multi cookers are much more enjoyable to use when cleanup does not become a project of its own.Controls are straightforward, and the heat-insulated base helps keep the control area more comfortable to work around while the cooker is running.Overall: This is a very useful all-in-one cooker with a good-sized 6.5-quart capacity and enough functions to handle a wide range of meals. I especially like being able to sauté, slow cook, steam, and cook rice in the same appliance. If you are trying to reduce countertop clutter without giving up cooking options, this is a really practical setup.

I am very impressed with this Sunvivi multi-function cooker! I’ve only used it for the slow-cooker and steaming functions so far, but after the first meal, I already know I’m going to be using this a LOT.I made a whole chicken in it, and it turned out so incredibly moist and tender that the meat was literally falling off the bone. The taste was amazing too! The chicken was flavorful, juicy and cooked perfectly. What really surprised me was that it cooked faster than my regular Crock-Pot normally would.While I was letting the chicken rest, I was able to use the steamer basket to steam my cut potatoes and sliced carrots right in the same cooker. Being able to do everything in one appliance was such a time saver.The cooker itself feels very durable and well made. It doesn't feel flimsy or cheaply made, and I really like the sturdy construction and overall design. The 6.5-quart size is great, especially when you're making a meal for the family.The digital display is also a nice size and easy to see—even from across the room. The controls are straightforward, but definitely read through the instructions before using it. They are easy to understand and make getting familiar with all the different functions much easier.Cleanup was another big win for me. The nonstick surface worked really well, and I didn't have to scrub at stuck-on food. Since I was able to cook and steam everything using this one appliance, I also didn't have a pile of extra pots, pans and strainers to wash afterward. Anything that saves me dishes is a winner in my kitchen!😄And I haven't even tried all the other functions yet. It can sauté, grill, stew, stir-fry, cook rice and more, so I can't wait to see what my next meal will be. I really like having so many cooking options in one appliance instead of pulling out several different pieces of cookware.My mom enjoyed the meal so much that she said she would give this 10 stars if she could! 😂 That first chicken dinner was definitely a hit.The matte black f

This cooker is a interesting appliance, because it can do so many different things, and after testing this on several different modes / ways I can say that it does them decently, but not to the level of a dedicated appliance. The appliance is easy to use, just configure how you want to setup and press a button for the most part, and this makes it easy to clean as well. Read the manual before cooking anything to help understand the nuances of this machine. I can see this for a smaller home that doesnt have the space for individual machines.

The Sunvivi 8‑in‑1 Multi Cooker packs a lot of promised functionality into one appliance, but in actual use, it feels like a mixed bag. The 6.5‑quart capacity is genuinely useful. It's big enough for family meals or batch cooking and the ceramic nonstick surface makes cleanup simple. I also appreciated the included steamer insert, which performs well for vegetables, dumplings, and seafood.Where the cooker falls short is in build quality and performance consistency. The pans are extremely lightweight, which affects heat retention and makes the unit feel less durable than expected at this price point. Because of that, sautéing and stir‑frying don’t get the strong, even heat you’d want, and the grill function is especially underwhelming. It doesn’t come close to replacing a real grill or even a solid countertop grill; food simply doesn’t develop the browning or sear you’d expect.The slow‑cook and stew modes are serviceable. They work fine for basic recipes, but they don’t outperform a dedicated crockpot. The multifunction design is convenient, but the overall execution feels like the cooker tries to do too many things without excelling at any one of them.For simple steaming or basic slow‑cooked meals, it’s adequate. But considering the lightweight construction and uneven performance across modes, the value doesn’t match the price. It’s usable, but not impressive.

I was tired of having so many kitchen tools, so I didn’t hesitate to get this! Cooking, sautéing, grilling, and steaming all in one love it! Sturdy, great quality, and non-stick plus is so easy to use and clean afterwards.The food comes out so delicious every time.Definitely a kitchen must-have!
