11 best multicookers

The slow cooker is a great thing that allows housewives to save time and cook different dishes in one pan. That's just to find a model that meets all your requirements and at the same time does not cause trouble - not so easy. The problem is exacerbated by the unrealistically overgrown assortment of wonder-pans. So that you do not spend time studying thousands of reviews, we ourselves have done this work. We present a selection of the best models of multicookers according to buyers.

Multicooker which company to choose

The most popular brand in our market was Redmond. And although all of its products are made in China, the build quality is not satisfactory. However, buyers love Redmond not only for this - at the moment only he has inexpensive models of multicookers of all conceivable and inconceivable designs. Rulers are constantly updated, and indeed Redmond clearly follows technical innovations, incorporating them into their models.

Products of other companies are slightly behind in popularity:

1. Vitesse (PRC)

2. Vitek (Russia)

3. Marta (United Kingdom / China)

Due to the high cost, we rarely buy multicookers from manufacturers who, in principle, do not produce cheap equipment. But the quality of their products is always on top.

These are brands:

1. Moulinex (France / China)

2. Bork (China)

3. Cuckoo (South Korea)

4. Stadler (PRC)

Also in our rating hit one of the Chinese multicooker - Endever. But the reason for this was its nonstandard construction: it allowed to solve the typical problem of miracle pots that are not able to cook fried dishes properly.
