Overall, a good product
I bought this unit to replace my 15 year old, very used, stove top pressure cooker. Overall, I'm happy with it, particularly the fact that it's set and leave - it stops the cooking process without my involvement.
I mostly use the pressure cook function.
Initially there was a seal missing from the lid, and I had a lot of trouble dealing with Philips customer service - slow as a wet weekend to fix the problem, so I had the unit for about a month before I even used it.
I'd like to see a better quality coating on the inner bowl. It's very thin and scratches very easily.
Purchased at Myer.

Truely like my pressure cooker however .....
I really like my philips all in one pressure cooker, and have been telling my friends how much it has helped in my situation as i look after my 96 year old mother. I do have little complaint in that although it came with a recipe book there is no guide to cooking vegetables, what you can use the bake for apart from cakes ? Eg, can it do a roast a leg of lamb and vegetables ? If so how ? How long ? Obviously I’m not expecting it to act like an oven.
These sort of questions I can find no answer to, even a conversion table would be nice, fo...

Perfect addition to kitchen
We purchased this all in one cooker 2 months ago and I’m very satisfied with this purchase. The slow cooking option is best for overnight cooking. It also has the pressure cooking and baking options.

Love it!
While this is my first multi cooker so I cannot compare it to others I absolutely love it. It is easy to use and clean and the food I've made has been delicious and tender. It does retain smells like many others have mentioned but it doesn't seem to taint the next dish with that. My black inner pot was damaged when I bought the AIO and I contacted customer service on the weekend that I purchased and to my surprise they replied right away. You can't fault that kind of customer service. I do wish that it came with a Stainless Steel bowl as s...
Read moretandard as I don't feel the black bowl will last but comparing the 2 bowls of the 2 brands I was considering this one felt better quality to me and the fact that I can purchase spare parts easily is good. As mentioned with the saute function heat it up with nothing in the bowl or the timer won't count count down. And if you need to pressure cook over 59 mins you will need to turn it back on after the first 59. To me that hasnt been a problem yet. I haven't used the slow cook function yet so can't comment on that. Do join one of the many facebook groups as they have a wealth of information.Purchased in July 2020 at Myer for $179.00.

Still experimenting
I made beef ribs and dates pudding from the recipe book, both turned out delicious! There was no suggested time in the recipe book for cooking common things like pasta or steaming vegetables or chicken. I experimented cooking vegies and pasta but all turned to mush unfortunately.
Unit is very quiet and did not release too much steam.
I also purchased the stainless steel pot, which is handy to interchange when making 2 dishes.

Inspired to Cook more and more !
Read the reviews and purchased this one on that basis. No regrets whatsoever. Being Vegetarian means that some of the functions are of limited use. Did, however, read the included recipe book (several times) and have tried 3 or 4 recipes with increasing success. I am even beginning to like cooking (not something a male would normally say).
Only 2 minor complaints.
1) The recipes include cooked rice but...there is NO mention of HOW to cook the rice in the documentation !
2) The Pressure Cook button cycles through the options but, the text is so small that you need a magnifying glass to see them?
Roll on my next gourmet attempt.

Love It!
We cook soups, chicken & even steak I’m our slow cooker, it’s a one pot wonder. It retains th flavour and has a number of preset options to make life easier. It takes a little getting used to but once you’ve used it a few times you will love it!

Works really well
I’m not much of a chef. But I can google recipes online. This slow cooker gives me options. My first few tries turned out less than ideal, but I think I’ve got the hang of it now. Excellent build quality.

Love it, but the inner pit is flimsy
I purchased the Phillips AIO yesterday and made rice as soon as i got it home...amazing!
Today i made chicken satay, again amazing..i am in love with this cooker except for one problem
The inner ceramic pot is scratched already
I did not use harsh chemicals or scourers when washing it, just normal dishwashing liquid and a sponge with warm water.
I only use plastic or wooden spoons in all my cooking and in this pot have only used plastic/silicon
The top part of the pot is scratched because of the lid i believe, which i can live with, but the b...

Great cooker with various functions .
I bought it last month because of the positive reviews here. I tried bake , stew and pressure cooking function . I really love it especially baking potatoes and pumpkins, it saves time and keeps moisture unlike real oven. Stew pork was good too , the meat tasted tender and soft . I don’t really follow their provided recipes book but I mostly follow peoples recipes online. For safety, you’ll have to wait a while for pressure cooking before you vent the button , otherwise it might spill out the soup / sauce. Minor negative comments was it takes longer than I express for the processing time before counting down and I’d love to have more stylist design of its appearance. Other than that , it’s a good kitchen buddy !

Cooking up a storm
This was a bit of an impulse buy. I was looking for a rice cooker and noticed the all-in-one's on the next shelf. The idea of using a pressure cooker to save time appealed to me. So, reasons why I bought this one:
* It's an attractive unit and well built. Everything about it feels and looks solid
* The inside seal set up in the lid - quick and easy to clean
* Has the option of a stainless steel pot via aftermarket purchase (mine was included in the purchase price as a store promotion)
* Ready availability of spare parts on Philips website (ve...

Does what it claims - cooks all sorts of things
After trying the bake function (I made a cake) and some soup/stew function I’m pretty happy with this machine. Because it’s kind of bulky and tall, it does not fit in many cupboards which is a downside.
I did find the controls very easy to use, however when you select a bake time of “20 mins” or similar, it does not factor in the time it will take to build pressure or heat up which is another 5-10mins. It would be nice to have more of a total amount of time on the readout. Cleaning this was really easy too. I’ll be making a few more recipes with the timer function so it’s ready when I get home from work.

Tatte K.asked
Does this multicooker have a bake function for cakes etc and does it air fry... as I’ve seen another brand that does both of these but the Phillips has very good reviews... thanks Kaz
3 answers
Not sure about baking, but it definitely doesn't air fry. From my extensive research and other readings the consensus is that: those models that do air frying don't do a good job in comparison to two separate appliances. In addition, two separate appliances that will do a better job cost less. Hope it helps
Thanks, I’m now looking ninja multicooker. The reviews are very good, though the air fryer, still good is slightly slower in the multicooker from the review Cheers

Details
Features
- A 6-litre capacity provides a generous amount of cooking space to prepare meals for a family of 4-5 people - or 2-3 people, with leftovers for the next day.
- Cooking functions include slow cook, pressure cook, saute/sear, steam, bake and make yoghurt.
- Slow cooking times are programmable up to 12 hours, with an adjustable range of high settings from low to high.
- 7 pressure cooking modes allow for versatility in pressure cooking, allowing you to fast cook a range of foods.
- The Keep warm setting kicks in automatically after the cooking time is finished (excepting yoghurt and saute/sear).
- A stainless steel outer body pairs with an inner cooking bowl that’s coated in 5 layers of ceramic. Philips states that this ceramic coating is stronger than most inner pots, which are made with a non-stick coating.
Points of Praise
- Above all, reviewers loved that the Philips Original All-In-One Multi Cooker prepared well-cooked, tender food that tasted delicious.
- The pressure cooker function is a particular fan favourite, as it cooked food that tasted outstanding, and quickly.
- Reviewers appreciated the set-and-forget functionality, particularly those who had previously used a stovetop pressure cooker, which require something of an eagle eye to cook with safely.
- This multi-cooker is easy to use, even for those who are using an electric multi cooker for the first time.
Points to consider
- A number of reviewers didn’t agree with Philips about the quality of the inner bowl. Home chefs stated that the ceramic coating is thin and doesn’t last very long. Some opted to buy an additional stainless steel bowl to replace the original bowl with.
- When the timer is activated using the saute function, it won’t count down unless there is no food in the bowl - meaning you’ll need an alternative timer if using this function.
- The lid and sealing rings retain the smell of foods cooked inside the multi-cooker, however this doesn’t taint the taste of future dishes prepared inside the appliance.
