CookingPal Multo
Research notes on the CookingPal Multo, model SKA-CP-MUL-WHI-528. Amazon.com lists it as ASIN B096LR6CC3. Specs are from the 2021 launch and from reviews, because a current maker spec page did not load. We did not cook with it.

Amazon listing B096LR6CC3 shows model SKA-CP-MUL-WHI-528. A current CookingPal spec page did not load for us on 30 September 2026.
Verdict
The Multo is the only machine in this comparison with an Amazon ASIN we could match to the model number. Reviews describe real weighing, chopping, and a clean cycle, with heat that the launch specs cap at 130°C and a tablet the base cannot replace. Confirm the listing is the white SKA-CP-MUL-WHI-528 and that it is in stock before you buy.
Specs
- Bowl
- 3 L / 3.1 qt in the launch specs and in a review that cites the manual. Not reconfirmed on a 2026 spec sheet.
- Heat
- Up to 265°F / 130°C in those same launch and manual-cited specs.
- Scale
- Launch specs: to 3 kg, accurate to 5 g / 0.25 oz. CNET and AndroidGuys both used in-bowl weighing.
- Guided recipes
- AndroidGuys, 30 June 2026, reported 200+ guided recipes on the tablet. CNET in January 2023 said access was free and the count was still in the dozens or hundreds.
- Where to buy
- Amazon.com ASIN B096LR6CC3, model SKA-CP-MUL-WHI-528. Current stock was not confirmed.
- Controls
- No buttons on the base. A separate Smart Kitchen Hub tablet runs it, per CNET.
Owner feedback
We did not find a current owner forum sample. CNET's January 2023 kitchen test said the Multo did the prep and cook jobs, not as well as single-purpose tools, and that sauté left food burnt on. AndroidGuys in June 2026 still treated it as a current machine, liked weighing and the clean cycle, and said they could not run a family recipe outside the guided library. Those two reports disagree on manual cooking. Treat that as unresolved.
Score breakdown
5.9/10- Capability 25%6/10
Launch specs and a manual cited by MakeUseOf list a 3 L bowl, a scale to 5 g, and heat only to 130°C. CNET confirmed chop, weigh, sauté, steam, and knead, and said sauté does not brown like a pan. The heat ceiling is the main documented limit. We did not find a 2026 spec sheet that changes these figures.
Sources: Company specs published at the 2021 launch: 3 L / 3.1 qt bowl, scale to 3 kg accurate to 5 g, heat to 265°F / 130°C, 10 speeds to 5,200 rpm, self-clean modes., MakeUseOf says the manual lists a 3.1 qt bowl, about 1,200 W, 120 V, heat to 265°F, and dishwasher-safe parts except the base and hub., CNET, updated 11 January 2023: hands-on report of weighing, chopping, sauté, steam, knead, two clean modes, a required tablet, Wi-Fi drops, burnt-on residue, and a $999 price. Not our test.
- Recipe ecosystem 20%6/10
CNET said recipe access was free and, in January 2023, still in the dozens or hundreds. AndroidGuys on 30 June 2026 reported 200+ guided recipes and about five new ones a week. That is a real library and still far smaller than Cookidoo's claimed catalog. The tablet is required.

- Ease of use 15%6/10
CNET found the guided steps easy and also had to reconnect a hub that dropped Wi-Fi. There are no controls on the base. AndroidGuys said a family bread recipe could not be run outside the guided set, which CNET's earlier manual-mode dough contradicts. We did not resolve that.

- Cleanup 10%6/10
The launch notes and both reviews describe a quick clean and a deeper clean with water and soap. CNET said burnt-on sauté residue still had to be scrubbed under the blade. MakeUseOf says the bowl is dishwasher safe and the base is not.

- Build and reliability 15%5/10
CNET's 2023 unit worked for the recipes they cooked. AndroidGuys in 2026 still discusses it as a product you can buy and mentions a two-year electrical warranty, which we did not confirm on a maker warranty page. The separate tablet is an extra part that can fail. We found no failure-rate study.

- Value 15%6/10
CNET cited $999 in 2023 and AndroidGuys said about $1,000 in June 2026, with free recipes and a larger stated bowl than the TM7. CNET was not sure the price was justified. The current Amazon price was not in the listing text we retrieved, so this band is from those published figures.

Pros and cons
Pros
- The Amazon listing title and model number SKA-CP-MUL-WHI-528 match ASIN B096LR6CC3.
- CNET and a June 2026 review both describe in-bowl weighing, guided steps, and a clean cycle. The 2026 review put the library above 200 recipes.
Cons
- Launch specs cap heat at 265°F / 130°C, lower than the stated tops of the TOKIT and ChefRobot.
- The base has no controls. CNET's tablet dropped Wi-Fi. A 2026 review said cooking stayed inside guided recipes, which conflicts with CNET's 2023 manual mode.
