Verdict
CHEF iQ's own page is the strongest guided-cooking claim in this set: weigh in the pot, send a recipe step to the cooker, and let it pick quick, pulse, or natural release. We did not find an independent test, the page lists 7 functions while Amazon says 10-in-1, and no warranty length is printed. Treat the score as a reading of the spec sheet.

Owner feedback
The chefiq.com product page we opened does not publish owner comments. We did not find an independent review that cooked on the current iQ Cooker and reported results we could cite. Amazon.com has a listing, and we did not copy a star rating from it. The notes here are the maker's feature list, not owner reports.
Score breakdown
7.0/10- Capability 25%7/10
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.

The model-number field reads as a description, not a code. The title says 10-in-1. CHEF iQ lists 7 functions.
- Smart programs 20%9/10
CHEF iQ claims Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, remote monitoring, 300+ presets on the cooker, 1000+ in the app calculator, over 500 video recipes that can send settings to the pot, and over-the-air updates. Those counts are the maker's figures, and the Amazon title disagrees on the function count, so this is not a 10.

- Ease of use 15%7/10
The page describes weighing in the pot, a color screen, and video steps that send time and temperature. That is a guided workflow on paper. We did not find a published test of how often the app pairing works, so the score stays at the documented features.
- Cleanup 10%6/10
The shop page says the pot is nonstick and includes a steam rack and basket. It does not say the pot or lid is dishwasher safe. The cleaning steps are on a separate page we did not use as a spec.
- Build and reliability 15%6/10
The page lists ETL, FDA, and FCC, a plastic and aluminum body, and a California Prop 65 warning. It does not state a warranty length. We found no independent durability report.
- Value 15%6/10
At $199.99 the iQ Cooker costs less than the Pro Plus list price and adds a scale the Instant Pot page does not claim. The missing warranty line and the thinner public test record keep it from a higher value score.
