This multicooker is beautiful and it has a stainless steel shiny look! It's not that heavy and it's not that light!! It gets hot with in 30 minutes,it has a recipe book which I love and you can cook different varieties of meals for a big family and don't have to separate most!! It has a self standing lid which was unique and bpa free. I really recommend every big family to have one for family gatherings and birthdays and cookouts It's a 10 stars for me.
