It seems to work pretty well, but it can be fragile. I spilled some soup on the unit, and now the LCD screen has blemishes on it. Also, if it isn't on a completely flat, lever surface, the pressure cooker will tell you that the lid is not sealed. For the price, it should be a little more sturdy.
Love it! Great multi cooker. Use it all the time for pressure cooking, slow cooking, etc. It is a great space saver. What I absolutely love is no longer having to monitor my pressure cooker on the stove. This one does the pressure release, timing, etc etc.
This cooker has become my most used appliance. I've used most every function. Sauté - to brown before everything else. Reduce - to actually reduce but also to cook at a boil so I can add pasta to finish a pressure cooked soup and also to cook bisquick dumpling. Veggies - butternut squash cannot taste better. I am short so i do have to stand on my toes to see in it but this was a great purchase. I read reviews and it lives up to the review.
High-quality build throughout, intuitive menu navigation, chef-level options, and very easy to clean. One appliance with a multitude of meal possibilities. Fast or slow, Breville is the way to go!
Great product, except for the silicone gasket. It often spends 10 min heating up, starting a pressure cycle only to say “Lid not sealed.” So open it up, wipe it just to make sure, and more often than not, it works fine the next time. I have replaced the seal once, without much difference.
When it was time to release the steam, all the brown sauce splashed my kitchen wall. It took hours to clean my white wall. I’ll never do that again! Return it the next day!
I was gifted this and absolutely love it. My first unit suffered an unfortunate failure that seemed to be irrecoverable. Breville support was on top of it and sent a new unit without question and was very easy to work with. I would buy this knowing Breville stands by their products. I assume this was an uncommon failure and won't happen again.
