I got this from Myer during their Boxing Day sales. I have done two recipes so far and loved them both.

I used to own the Tefal cook for me, compared to this, the Tefal model is amateur hours! Everything with this machine is great, once I’ve figured how to operate it. The only part that was confusing was that rubber unit with the floater. You see, I removed it thinking it was just some sort of packing protector. Of course, this meant that the machine couldn’t pressurise! This really needs to be spelt out in the manual (as a listed component...Read more

Ok. I have a love hate relationship with this machine. It actually cooks really nice food. However, there are so many drawbacks with this machine.
Firstly, the digital touch pad is extremely complicated and not intuitive at all, this is esp. for setting the timer. The other thing that annoys me is that the time delay function does not work. I already exchanged my machine for another one for that reason but the same thing happens. It allows for time delay function on some cooking settings but not for example on the slow cooking mode which I wa...Read more

My family and I have almost everything with Philips brand; from electronic toothbrush, coffee machine, airfryer...to baby food maker and multicooker. You can say we are Philips loyal customers, simply we entrust good brands. However, this time you guys failed me terribly!

I bought a Philip all in One Multicooker couple of weeks ago, and only used 5 times. Now the seal ring had cracked and lid couldn’t close or lock at all!!! Not to mention it’s difficult to open it with the push button. It doesnt open smooth. I had to manually use both of my...Read more

I’ve now had two of these and both are so unreliable. When they work, the food is beautiful, but it is luck of the draw if they draw pressure or not. We have had many a dinner party ruined with stews and curries getting burned on the bottom and uncooked on top due to no pressure. Initially, we thought we were doing something wrong with the seal but there are times when we don’t touch the seal and one time it won’t pressurise, so we cancel it and start again and then it is fine. There have also been times when it has built pressure but not relea...Read more

Quick background: We love cooking and experimenting.
Cuisine: Asian (Chinese, Malaysian, Indian), Italian, American & European.
Research period: 3 months
Budget: None but needs to be value for money.
Major driver: Slow & pressure cooking options.
Didn’t like leaving the stove or oven ON for long.

Had in my life several high-pressure cookers for the last 20+ years. Some of them literally had no names, some very well known brands. What all of them had in common - hot external surfaces, noisy when releasing an exceeding pressure sometimes directly up to the ceiling. But the most annoying part always was when they completely unpredictable beginning to leak, so you need to stop, cool down and attempt to adjust the rubber sealing ring...

There is nothing even close to any of these issues with that Philips model.
No leaks, silent and pract...Read more

Bought it 2 months ago....first time use.....the pressure unable to build up and the timer already started to count down. Call customer service and was told it will take a while for pressure to build up. Retry for more than 3x....yea....at last it build up.

Just try to use it again today....it took me many tries before the pressure finally build up. Will send it back to Philips tmrw...

We have received two models and both had to be returned due to technical issues. We have now decided to look for an alternative.

The first machine regularly failed to build up pressure and wasn't able to control heat settings within the slow cooking mode which caused several meals to end up overcooked.

The second machine worked well within the pressure cooking settings but we were still never able to utilise the slow cooking mode (We assume it`s due to issues with the heat control of the machine). And after using the machine a few times t...Read more
