I decided to purchase the Multo after a friend bought one and just raved about it. I have never been a "collector" of small kitchen appliances (food processors, stand mixers, scales, etc), so the thought of having a product that could chop, grind, whisk, emulsify, knead, steam, weight, coock and more, was very appealing and VERY IMPRESSIVE!I have used my Multo several times, making the best Marry Me Chicken (although I am still single lol), Lobster Bisque Soup, and several other guided recipes. I am technically challenged, but this Cooking Pal makes it so easy; it guides you through the set up process, then on to making delicious meals, step by step. I have not had one issue and love the ease of use, cleaning, and of course, eating! I highly recommend this product!I like to cook but I have a very hectic and time demanding job so my time is very limited. I was tired of eating the same things over and over for the lack of creativity or ordering take-outs so we could eat something different. This machine intrigued me for the get-go. I am not going to lie that I was skeptical at first and even intimidated (I am not a tech savvy) with so much technology. Well I am glad I pushed myself. It couldn't be simpler to use, step by step and so many recipes!!! I started with something simple "Tomato Bisque Soup", total success! Cant wait to use it for all the holiday meals that are coming up!Arrived beautifully packaged and well protected. Very clear instructions on set up while opening up each box inside. Set up requires simply plugging it in and the “control pad” was charged and ready to go. Decided to cook mashed potatoes as my first dish, followed the recipe supplied and was walked through each step using the pad where all I had to do was push the prompt and the Cooking Pal machine did all the work. Excited to try many more recipes……..I am tired of my instapot and want another option, so I bought the Multo and I can make so many different kinds of meals instead of just one ...and I have the screen to help guide me step by step so it is perfect for busy people that do not want to stand in the kitchen but can multi task and the hub prompts you to come back and do the next step! perfect for first time cooks and busy moms...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 !I live in a very small apartment, and this appliance has allowed me to get rid of several and replace them with just one giving me back a lot of vital counter space. I love the hundreds of delicious recipes on the smart pad that meet my dietary needs. I’ve also made one of my own soup recipes in it and it adapted well.Their website says it "can be used to Sauté, Steam, Knead, Chop, Scale, Keep Warm, Boil, Whisk, Grind, Grate, Mix, Stir, Grate, Turbo, Clean & more" and that's no lie.The Smart Kitchen Hub and Recipe Library is super cool and has helped to create recipes I never would have thought of on my own. It is obviously built to withstand tough kitchen environments too.I have used the 3-Piece Steamer Set the most often and it allows you to simultaneously steam meats and vegetables. I didn't even know that could be done! A huge thumbs up for this item.I love it (and this is from someone who typically is not interested in anything high tech, especially for cooking).I was a little skeptical at first because of the cost - but it is well worth it!The self cleaning feature is great, I am excited to use it for making holiday desserts.
