Ridiculous user manual
Very limited functionality
Extremely disappointing
They have over thought a very simple and effective alliance and failed dismally.
I have used preasure cookers for over 30 years and this is easily the worst.

I brought the Kogan 9 in 1 on special for $69.00 + postage, several years ago, and quickly got too love it, despite its many limitations and the totally inadequate manual it comes with. I pretty much only used the pressure cooker function, and the yogurt function which worked well. The pressure cooker function was limited and the settings of little use. I generally just used the preset programs to get a time close to what I wanted and then turned the cooker of when the timer reached the actual time needed. I often find I use cooking times of 5...

As Steve stated from a year ago there are no manuals that exactly relate to this cooker I purchased it expecting an ops manual but all you offer is a cookbook that doesnt apply to this model i will be very wary of any future appliance purchases from your site !Is it too expensive to include a proper manual? Next time I think I will just go to Big W.

I bought the pressure cooker so that I would be able to do other chores while the pressure cooker did its job. When I ordered the pressure cooker online, the confirmation email attached a link to the user manual, which I considered to be a handy reference point. I followed the instructions to clean the pressure cooker the first time. Normally I make soup and slow stews using it. I'm happy with the process - once I have prepared the ingredients, all I need to do is to pour in adequate amount of water, select the right option and wait for it to do its job. It's easy to clean afterwards also. I would recommend it!

My old pressure cooker died after 15 years, so I thought a Kogan 9 in 1 might make a great replacement. It arrived on Wednesday, today is Sunday. The box had little if any useful information in it. So I downloaded the user manual and found it of little help. it does not explain how to cook the items featured in the recipes guide (which I also had to download from the Kogan website before buying, which was good as it was NOT being in the box - read the section "items in the box", it does state that there is a recipe cooking guide included).

So,...

The user manual had the barest of instructions and did not explain the differences in function between the different modes. However, once you figure it out (by trial and error in my case, since looking online was not a lot of help), I was able to make what I wanted. It is great as a replacement for a slow cooker to make stews, or stock. I've also used the slow cooker function to make pulled pork and it worked great, especially since the pot is a bit deeper than my old slow cooker, the liquids covered more of the meat and resulted in more juicy meat. I have noticed it does tend to retain the food smells for a while after use, and I have to leave it open to air out for a day or two before it goes away.

I’m not a expert master chef or anything so I’ve rely on recipes and manuals to make anything in the appliance. I wanted to use the regular “pressure cook” function for a beef roast recipe I found online, which simply said cook for 45 mins but it only had the meat/stewing function which didn’t have any steam being released when I pressed cancel. So I’m disappointed that I didn’t get the make the meal I planned.

Without spending a lot of money on ingredients to figure it out by trial and error I don’t feel I can get much use out of this appli...

As no manual button so you can not go under 2 hours with the meat button plus the book that came with the pressure cooker is vary poor there is three settings on the pressure cooker that the book says northing about them the only is ok the slow cooker

Extremely good pressure cooker with a multitude of features. Use it quite often, must admit I have not used all functions but do love the pressure cooker and slow cooker features. Only problem I have found is that I need to have it on longer than the set times or turn the temperature to high. Would certainly recommend.

I am not a snob when it comes to appliances, but sometimes it is better to get a brand that comes with local support and a much better quality manual and cooking guide than this. The rattling can be a bit scary, and it was not at all clear on what setting to vent the pressure cooker. As it was a gift I cannot complain, but I was not confident in using until I looked up some youtube videos on someone who was using the same product. Markings are also not clear/rubbed off so you are having to look at the indentations/depressions to work out what it means - and even then it's just symbols, not works like 'VENT' or 'OPEN' or 'CLOSED', just weird tear drop type shapes.

This would be the worst Pressure Cooker I have ever used. The manual is not good. Doesn’t have a Manual feature/ button (which is unheard of) so you can only cook what is written on the Pressure Cooker. You can’t cook veggies, brown rice potatoes various types of beans and so many other things. The Kogan customer service was terrible it took me ten days calling and emailing everyday to finally be to it doesn’t work like all other Pressure cookers and to send it back I will need to pay postage. I have two other electronic pressure cookers/ multi cooker and use them daily so I know what I’m doing. I would never buy anything from them again.

I can't really rate the performance of this product because the provided and downloaded Manual is useless. Pressure Cookers are not necessarily a safe cooking device, so you would think Kogan would have produced an informative and instructional Manual on how to use the device.

Simple instructions on how to safely use and cook are paramount. The method for varying cooking times is a ritual and based almost on guesswork using the "Texture" and "Food" settings.

Look for another brand that actually has "how to cook" instructions with knobs/buttons that control cooking times and temp settings.

Download and read the online Manual to understand what I am on about!
