This multi-cooker is solidly constructed, the dials are easy to use and LED screen easy to read. It is easy to clean, notwithstanding the gasket does absorb the odor of the food, which is a common issue with most other pressure cookers, electric and stovetop. This multi-cooker functions incredibly well on all of its 6 functions and 12 programs. There is no guess work with the pressure cooking function like the stovetop pressure cookers which spit and hiss and steam all over the kitchen. As with any new appliance, it takes a bit of time to explore its capabilities, but I found the Fast Slow Pro quite intuitive and slow cooker recipes adapt well to the pressure cooker method as well. The Sear and Sauté functions blend seamlessly into pre-browning meats, onions and mushrooms before choosing either the slow cook or pressure cook function. Unlike my InstaPot, which frequently stops during a cooking process and gives the error message the contents are burning, (necessitating I release the pressure, stir and scrape the bottom to keep the food from burning and sticking to the pot, after which I then have to restart the pressure cooking process from the beginning...several times over), I have never had that happen with the non-stick pot from Breville. It cooks up scalloped potatoes or a risotto beautifully. The vegetable steam function does over cook the veggies a bit, but not if you manually release it before the program does and if you cut back a bit on the water, the rice does come out fluffy, not mushy. I use it much like my micro-convection oven...combining functions to produce results my family (and my time) appreciate. I am very pleased with this cooker and my other one will definitely be donated elsewhere.
