1. Just like any electric pressure cooker, this one needs a little time to get used to and master. It is a bit technical for a first-time chef who has been used to traditional cooking methods. This can be solved by looking up videos and reading the instruction manual to know how to work around it. 2. It is a bit big for an average counter and it takes up most of the cooking space on the counter too. However, the fact that it holds 7 appliances in 1 technically saves up space. 3. Since this machine is like any other electrical appliance, the chances of it failing are pretty good. Proper handling and careful use should be observed.
