DeLonghi Livenza Multi-Cooker, Stainless Steel - 6 qt - Crock Pot Slow Cooker - 24-Hour Programmability & Seven Modes - Includes Non-Stick Dishwasher-Safe Pot, Steam Rack & Glass Lid

Worth. Every. Penny. Where have you been all my life? Was looking into Instapots, Ninja Foodi's, Air fryers, and was recommended this by several people. Researched it and pulled the trigger since my last crock pot got wrecked and needed another one. First meal: Beef roast with onions, carrots, potatoes, and marinade. SEARED that baby after giving it a coat of oil, salt, pepper, garlic, and Montreal Steak Seasoning. As per the directions, threw in the onions, carrots, and potatoes and THEY seared in the juices and smelled DELISH! Added my marinade, turned it on "High" for slow cooker and let it go. Oh. My. Goodness. This is not just a crockpot where "ceramic gets hot and heats stuff in bowl." This was more like a controlled oven. It held a temp of 400 degrees. The meat fell apart and the veg was PERFECTLY cooked. So easy. So monumentally better than a traditional crockpot. Wow. Just WOW. The size is perfect and the weight is perfect. I thought I saw on the packaging that it was 15 lbs but I don't think it is. Super easy. SUPER high quality. This is a MUST HAVE. Also.......bakes, steams, sears.............the only thing it does not do is air fry, but I don't care. I could literally use this for every meal I make. LOVE IT!

My husband really wanted this fryer. I am sure his cardiologist would not have approved! The first time we used it, we sat it on a large cutting board on the stove with the vent going. The vent was not enough. Steam went everywhere. I banished it to outside use only! It isn’t lonely because we have our pizza oven out there as well. (We have a covered deck in the backyard). The second time we used it, outside, it was perfect. I couldn’t be happier with it. There is another review from a gentleman who obviously knows food service and deep frying. We took his advice and bought some wagyu beef tallow. We put peanut oil in the bottom and beef tallow above it. It fried the food perfectly. Certainly don’t want fried food every night, or every week. Clean up was very easy. Let the oil cool completely then drain the oil. I popped all the dishwasher safe parts in the dishwasher and stored this, rather large unit, away.

The De'Longhi Multi-Function cooker has done everything I've told it to do, even to my detriment! The unit has performed well in sauté mode, steamer mode and rice mode very well. The rice to water ratio needed will need tweaking if you normally cook rice in a pressure cooker like an insta-pot The slow cooker on this appliance automatically shifts to keep warm mode (150 degrees) five minutes after the cooking mode (low, medium or high) is completed. I didn't read the directions, so I set the cooking mode and immediately pressed the keep warm button, this isn't correct. Another review mentions this cooker doesn't get hot enough, they may have done the same thing. I've checked all 4 crock pot temperature settings and they were fine at 150 deg, 172 deg, 190 deg and 202 deg for keep warm, low, medium and high. Be aware that most newer crock pots cook to the same temperature on all their cook settings, low just gets less "juice" to get there so it takes longer. So new recipes are starting to reflect this way of working. This cooker does NOT work that way. It cooks at distinctly different temperatures, like older crock pots did. This unit heats from the bottom instead of from the sides. No crusted, hard to clean ring around the crock. And since the heat is from the bottom, smaller recipes can be made.

This thing is great! We have had it for two years now and use it occasionally. We have made rice, steamed veggies, soup, pork chops, and whole chicken. The cooker is easy to use and setup. The removable aluminum pot is coated with a non-stick material. It worked well for the first year, but now the coating is coming off and we can't use it unless we use crock pot liner. I found a replacement on the website. Model number to search is Delonghi CMK1641D and your looking for a GH1004 TANK. The price is around 80$ with shipping. Update 8-26-2022 - The replacement pot is still on backorder. Apparently they have enough for production but won't send any out as replacements. There is "No ETA" from factory on the delivery. Upate 8-31-2022 - I canceled the order for the pot. It appears it is on indefinite backorder. The cost was almost half the cost of the unit. It's not really worth it to replace the pot. Had to take a star off for not providing replacements pots on Amazon at a reasonable price.

I needed a new slow cooker, my old one boiled everything, even on low! So I looked for one that had a better thermostat and was willing to pay more than a typical slow cooker costs. In my search I discovered the DeLonghi multi cooker. Let me tell you, this has become my go-to three or four nights a week! Not only does it have a THREE temperature (low, med, high) slow cooker, but you can sauté the meat or vegetables right in the pot. Plus there are roast and steam settings. The controls are easy to use with digital readings. The pot is easy to clean and the whole unit looks beautiful on my counter! I highly recommend this cooker.

UPDATE: DeLonghi has me running in circles. Worst customer service ever. I have been promised a new unit... but never get it. Every time I call they start a new "investigation and review" with something else they want me to do. This really irks me since they made me cut the cord and send them a photo. NOW...they want to review again. This is clear breach is warranty. I since found out they treat all warranty issues like this. Evidently their game is to get you so frustrated you give up. I would highly discourage a purchase of any DeLonghi appliance. =========== Spoke too soon. This unit lasted 5 months and the heating elements went out. I have called customer service 5 times. They keep wanting more and more things from me. First a copy of the Amazon transaction... that one is understandable. After they rec'd that and I didn't hear from them called customer service again. This time they wanted a video of the unit not powering on. Well... okay.... but that is not going to show the unit not heating. The lights come on just fine. No word from them again. Next call I made, they said I need to cut the cord and send them a photo. OKAY.... but what next. I asked why they didn't tell me they needed all this stuff at the first contact. She said.... We do replacements in steps, because telling customers all this at one time confuses them. I have little hope of ever getting a replacement. I can no longer recommend this unit because it only lasted 5 months and customer service is difficult to work with. Took me 5 calls and they still do not understand it's the heating elements that are not working. =========================================== Original review: I was skeptical regarding the cost of this unit. It has become my most favorite, most used appliance. I love the MED setting on the sow cooker. SOOOooo easy to clean. I highly recommend spending the extra $$. You will love this unit. PLUS... it is soooo pretty. I keep it out, to only because I use it almost daily.... but also because it is just so darn pretty. Highly recommend!!!

I bought this to replace my Ninja 3-in-1 that was the most amazing piece of cookery ever invented. I don't own a stove so I use this as an oven and slow cooker. There are no low, med, highs on this thing and no matter what temperature you put it on for oven it's 500 degrees and scorching everything you put in it. I hate that it was so expensive for such a useless piece of machinery.

I have had mine for 2 years. I use it often. When slow cooking, I usually start out on bake. Then when the ingredients are hot I move to slow cooking. I feel like it produces a meal that is more like something you cooked in your oven or on the stovetop. I do wish that the controls could move seamlessly from bake to slow cook or saute, etc. You have to stop the cycle, change to the new cycle and start. It is minor and I am used to it. It is really nice though and cleanup is a breeze. I love being able to braise a pot roast and then move it to slow cook.

This is an excellent multi-cooker, of the quality I expected from De'Longhi. I purchased it because it had a browning function, hoping that would actually brown meat prior to slow-cooking. It does an excellent job and is easy to operate. It is not too heavy to be lifted and carried and is easy to clean. I highly recommend it.

Excellent mijoteuse de qualité, le genre d’outils que j’aurais encore dans 20 ans dans mes armoires. Merci

I was looking for something to replace a few small appliances. Crockpots, coolers, fryers, and IP now gone. Very versatile and not overly heavy like the IP. I've had no problems with it, it heats up well, and quick. We've cooked a lot of variations in this appliance and have had great results.

The saute feature is very hot, be careful. Also the bake, even at 300. I ended up taking it off bake & using high slow cook feature to finish cooking chicken. as bake was too hot. It is a nice device & I am still learning to use it.

Works fantastic and nicer than any I have seen before. Make sure you read the instructions well so you push the buttons in sequence.
