How we rate multi-cookers

Our review compares multi-cookers on customer satisfaction, so you can find out what other Aussies think about the compared brands before you go ahead with a purchase. Think of it as like asking hundreds of your closest mates which multi-cooker brand they think is best!


Canstar Blue surveyed 369 Australians for their feedback on the multi-cookers they’ve purchased and used in the last three years.

  • The outcomes reported in these ratings are measured via PureProfile’s accredited online research panel.



Respondents rate their satisfaction with their multi-cooker brand(s) from zero to 10, where zero is extremely dissatisfied and 10 is extremely satisfied. Brand satisfaction was rated by respondents on the following criteria:
  • Overall satisfaction: multi cooker brand as an individual score NOT a combined total of all criteria.
  • Value for money: quality and longevity relative to the price.
  • Performance: performs as described given frequency of use.
  • Ease of use: simple to operate; instructions easy to follow.
  • Design: visually appealing with a compact and ergonomic design.
  • Features and functionality: has useful and effective cooking settings / features.
  • Durability: withstands regular use and/or minor accidental damage.
  • Ease of cleaning: easy to disassemble / remove parts to clean machine effectively.


The winner is the brand Aussies rate highest for the things that matter most to customers, based on overall satisfaction. To see how we crunch the numbers, check out our methodology page.
