Crock-Pot MultiMeal
Score: 77/100Rankings
The Instant Pot Pro Plus 6-quart cooker features Wi-Fi connectivity, a premium 3-ply stainless steel pot, and 1200 W heating for fast, versatile cooking. Its sizable footprint and occasional connectivity issues may deter users with limited kitchen space. Best for tech-savvy families seeking guided recipes and a wide range of functions.
The Crock-Pot MultiMeal is a dual-pot multicooker offering 7.4 qt total capacity and five cooking functions, including bake and sear/sauté. Its size and weight, plus the need to hand-wash the ceramic pots, limit suitability for compact kitchens. Ideal for large families or meal-preppers who want to cook two dishes at once.

Professional reviewers commend the Pro Plus for its comprehensive smart-home integration, powerful 1200 W heating, and premium inner pot that delivers even cooking and stovetop versatility. They also acknowledge its bulkier size and higher cost, suggesting that non-tech users might prefer more affordable, non-connected models.
Everyday users love the guided-recipe app, remote monitoring, and fast cooking performance, especially for meal-prepping families. Common frustrations revolve around initial Wi-Fi/Bluetooth pairing difficulties, the unit's large footprint, and occasional need to adjust water amounts for certain dishes.
Choose the Crock-Pot MultiMeal when you need two dishes cooked at once; choose an Instant Pot for a more compact, single-pot solution.
