Timer Flawed - Fundamentally Fails as a Pressure Cooker

tl:dr - Cuckoo pressure cooker timer is for total cook time, not time at pressure. This is contrary to how all pressure cooker recipes are written, making this electric pressure cooker essentially pointless for following pressure cooker recipes.I took a chance on this Cuckoo Multi Pressure Cooker over the ubiquitous instant pot. I was excited about the possibility of the automatic steam valve and overall aesthetic. Unfortunately it is getting returned.All pressure cooker recipes are written and

Pros
  • EFFICIENT & SMART: Features a user-friendly, modern LED screen complete with touch controls, a preset timer, 2-language voice guide (English, Chinese) and functions that cook meals up to 70% faster than traditional stovetop cooking
Cons
  • The pressure release valve can be hard to work and potentially hazardous

So glad I returned the Instant Pot and bought this Cuckoo multi cooker! It's very well made and the voice guide is actually a very fun feature (I read that some people found it annoying but you can turn it down/off. I actually turned it up) :) I just have a few small complaints: My one complaint is that because it's not a well known brand compared to the IP there are not many videos/recipes available so some things are trial and error. And my other complaint is neither the US distributor nor…

Pros
  • Programmable
Cons
  • The durability of the product is questionable with repeated use

Love the talking Cuckoo

I still love hearing the chirping, talking cooker. Overall I like the versatility and multi-functions. Other reviewers have already mentioned it can be a challenge to program sometimes and the some of the buttons need to be firmly pushed, no need to repeat more about what others have already said. I love the feature of using it with lid open to saute/brown and the keep warm works great. At first I thought it didn't have a keep warm feature because you need to push select button to get to other…

Pros
  • Stainless steel
Cons
  • It does not offer enough presets for specific foods

I do not normally write reviews for any products I buy online, but hope that my review contributes and helps other people decide to purchase Cuckoo's multi-cooker with no doubt. I have been using Cuckoo's rice cookers for about 5 years, and their high quality rice cookers have never let me down when it comes to making rice. I have compared Cuckoo's multi-cooker with other brands such as Instant pot and Crockpot but the reason that made me chose Cuckoo's product over others was the automatic…

Pros
  • Small Appliances
Cons
  • It can be noisy when in operation

Mostly Accessible for Blind

I was waiting for a sale on this unit. Being blind, a hefty investment. I even got Easy Pay with my Chase Walmart card.I wanted a multi - cooker that was accessible to use. This is definitely accessible with the voice guide. Cuckoo failed in one big area with the voice guide. The unit doesn't speak temperature, or time when being set. Its not impossible to use, but you need to be able to calculate where you are when setting. Luckily, it saves your last setting you set.For blind customers. This…

Pros
  • 17 pounds
Cons
  • It requires a specific amount of liquid to operate, limiting dish options

Do not purchase as a primary rice cooker

I've heard rave reviews, particularly from the Korean community both online and in-person about the Cuckoo line of multi-purpose pressure cookers so we decided to give this one a try. On the first impression, build quality is great with solid plastics and metals with included accessories like a measuring cup and rice paddle. We purchased this with the intention of primarily using it as a rice cooker and after a few rounds of cooking and keeping rice warm, the overall impression goes down. The…

Pros
  • 5 Quarts
Cons
  • It lacks versatility and only offers limited cooking options

Reasonable and trusting rice cooker!

First of all, I want to point out that I have been eating rice my entire life as a Japanese person and I don’t tolerate "decent rice” quality. This rice cooker was very reasonable out of all the other 150 dollar range ones. Even after reading some bad reviews on this product, I trusted my gut after researching about it on different websites. And I’m glad I did! This one cooks rice in 30 mins which is 20 mins faster than the last rice cooker I had and cooks fluffy, and delicious rice!I would…

Pros
  • Cuckoo
Cons
  • The inner pot can become discolored with prolonged use

Has issue with rice sticking to bottom

Love the fact that it cooks rice quick. Havnt really used much of the features yet. Only thing that bugs me is there is alot of rice that is stuck to the bottom that never used to happen to my older rice cooker. Love the way it looks.

Pros
  • ACCESSORIES INCLUDED: Rice spatula, rice measuring cup, steam plate, product manual, and recipe book
Cons
  • It does not offer enough customization options for experienced cooks
