I was very impressed with how easy it was to set up my Multo. I'm not the most savvy person with technology and thought I would need my daughter's help but I'm happy to say I did not. I'm absolutely thrilled with how the meals I have cooked turned out. I was skeptical at first but delighted to find the Multo can cook such a diverse amount of recipes. The variety of dishes you can make with this device is impressive! Because of that, I feel like it's something I will be using each week. My daughter has a very demanding work schedule and struggles to find time to cook. I think this would make an excellent Christmas gift for her and her family. With everything it can do, it's a great value.

I love that it does all the prep work for you, everything is cooked in this one machine and clean up is so easy. We are a busy family so the Multo works wonders for us, but it would also be great for people that are just getting into cooking "“ you can't mess up. The recipes are great and they keep adding to them. I love that it does all the measuring and timing for me so I can multi task. Download the app and it keeps you updated on your meal as you get other things accomplished. Really does replace the need for multiple kitchen appliances so you have more space and less clutter on counters.

Being an avid cook, and loving new tech tools, I thought the Multo would be a valuable appliance. With the recipes and guided cooking, it makes many meals fun and easy to prepare. While a bit if a learning curve, all you need to do is spend some time with the Multo to become proficient. If it only put itself in the dishwasher and washed and dried itself! I can see it replacing a number of appliances and becoming my favorite!

I was very impressed with the wide array of features, functions, and capabilities of the machine. It was easy to set up and get started. I have made several dishes already including: meatballs and spaghetti, Mac & cheese, chili con carne, and mash potatoes in only 15 minutes !! Each came out so good my kids were loving and asking when can we use the cute Cookingpal Multo robot cooking machine again!! I cant wait to make some soups and stews , slow cook and desserts! The tablet is easy to navigate through the recipes and save my favorites. I LOVE the self-cleaning features that save so much time and then I just put the parts in the dishwasher ! I am selling my old food process, stand mixer and blender as saving space! I am excited to see the new items Cookingpal will offer next year ! If you haven't tried this watch the videos "“ you have to check out and see all the recicpes ! They have a great warranty and you can divide it into easy payments so it's a no brainer. This my new go to! do it all! Kitchen appliance !

The media could not be loaded. A friend who is savvy about kitchen products recommended the Multo to me - I live in a very small space and need something that is multi-functional. Lots of multi-use tools do everything poorly, so I was a little hesitant about this product (it blends and it cooks?) but decided to give it a go. I got it right in time for Thanksgiving prep and have been thoroughly impressed.

First of all, this thing is powerful - it's like a Vitamix, a KitchenAid, and Cuisinart had a baby. And that baby can cook and steam. I was making a double batch of Sweet Potato Cheesecake for two Thanksgiving dinners I was attending, so I had to blend large quantities of pecans, sweet potato, and graham crackers. None of those things are hard to blend, but this did it all so quickly that I was impressed. Then I had to blend my cream cheese mixture - except I'd forgotten to remove the cream cheese from the fridge to get it to room temp. I realized I could use the Multo's heating at a low temp (100 degrees) to quickly get my cream cheese to a mixable temp - pretty awesome. Also, I made way less mess than I normally do making a cake, since I just used the one Multo bowl for everything. The self-clean feature meant I could easily clean the bowl between uses - just one tip, don't overfill past the Max fill line when self-cleaning!

I found the user interface to be extremely simple, and was able to use manual mode for everything for the cheesecakes. The only mistake or issue I ran into was user error - I tried to make whip cream on manual mode, and because the bowl isn't see-through and the blender is powerful, I quickly overwhipped my cream. I used guided mode and it came out fine, but those of use who like to DIY should probably play around with the guided mode first to get a hang of it.

I had heard from my friend who recommended the Multo that it makes an awesome risotto since it stirs itself while cooking, so I used the guided mode to make a chantarelle risottto when I was given a large quantity of chantarelles. The guided mode was surprisingly flexible - I was able to adjust the size of the recipe and make my own additions and modifications. As a decent home cook, I was worried that it would feel robotic or controlling to use the guided cooking, but it was actually just helpful and nice to know I could walk away from my cooking knowing that it was at the right temp and I'd be alerted when I had to do the next step. As a first time mom-to-be, I'm excited to use the steaming and pureeing functions to make homemade baby food, and I know that it will be helpful to have something that cooks that I can walk away from and not be worried about.

Overall I'm excited about this purchase and think the Multo has value for an experienced cook and also could be extremely useful for someone who is just getting into cooking and wants to make more stuff at home. It's a powerful machine that actually successfully does everything it says it does, which is rare.
