Score: 83/100
Crock-Pot MultiMeal
Score: 77/100Rankings
The Instant Pot 7.5QT RIO Wide is a high-capacity 7-in-1 multicooker with WhisperQuiet steam release and extensive smart programs. Its size and weight make it less suitable for cramped countertops and it lacks Wi-Fi connectivity. Best for large families or batch-cooking enthusiasts who value capacity and safety.
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.
