After several uses I am overall happy with this multicooker.  I rplaced an old original 80's Crockpot with this 21st century pot. I wish it were a little deeper to cover more of a large item (like pot roast) with the liquid, but I really like the ability to use the built-in browning function to avoid needing a second pan.  I made a pulled pork recipe in it which I had made many times before, but after 9 hours was not as tender as in my old cooker.   I also used the browning function to cook down liquid to make a gravy after the item was done.  One other good feature is that the liner and lid are dishwasher safe and clean easily..  I doubt I will ever use the steam feature but maybe for something like crab legs.
