Best smart multicookers and pressure cookers

The shop page lists 10 functions, including pressure, sous vide, canning, and NutriBoost, at 1200 W in a 6 qt tri-ply pot. It does not air fry. Tom's Guide wanted a temperature monitor for sous vide and yogurt, so this stays short of 9.

The current page claims Wi-Fi, phone control, and 2,000+ guided recipes, and the 2021 guide ties model 112-0124-01 to a Pro Plus app. Tom's Guide used the app off the home network. The Amazon title still says the unit sterilizes, and the 2021 guide names an older app, so the recipe claim is the maker's current figure rather than a counted library.

At the $229.99 collection price, this is the Wi-Fi step up from the Duo Plus at $139.99 and the Pro at $169.99 on the same page. Tom's Guide called about $200 a lot if you will not use the app. The higher current list price keeps the value score in the middle.

The shop page lists pressure cooking and air frying in one 6.5 qt, 1500 W appliance, plus roast, broil, dehydrate, sous vide, and proof. That is the widest function list in this set. The 95 percent less oil line is a marketing claim, and there is no built-in scale, so this is not a 10.

The Smart page and the Amazon Wifi listing both describe Instant Connect with 2,000+ guided recipes and phone control. The count is the maker's figure. The separate $219.99 Ultimate Lid on the collection page is not described with that app block, so the score is for this Smart model only.

The shop page documents pressure, sous vide, ferment, sear, and a four-sensor scale in a 6 qt, 1000 W pot. It lists 7 functions, fewer than the Instant Pot Pro Plus, and it does not publish a pressure range. The scale is the extra capability. The Amazon 10-in-1 title is not used as a spec.
