1. Safe to use due to its Auto Pressure Release which automatically detects excess steam at the end of cooking. This steam can be released in 3 release methods and these include; Rapid, Pulse and Natural. A function like this makes CHEF fit for use by anyone in the house. No need to be a pro to use it. 2. Learn how to cook tasty nutritious meals using the ''Built-In Scale''. This scale makes it easy to measure desired or recommended amounts of ingredients in the pot to avoid messing up your meal. The Built in scale will accurately weigh them so you can learn how to cook more precisely. 3. Wireless Updates are always available to keep CHEF iQ Smart pressure up to date. You can update this cooker the same way you do with a smart phone. You will always receive notifications of updates via the smart phone App. 4. Choose from more than 300 built-in cooking presets. Become a self-taught chef at the comfort of your home. Always prepare delicious unique meals with CHEF iQ Smart Pressure Cooker. You can save all favourite cooking presets for later use. 5. Touch buttons - these make it easy to use the appliance. 6. Easy to clean after using it for cooking. Food won't get stuck on the walls of bottom of the pot.

(1) Lack of privacy if you use the Mobile App feature to get all the 600 cooking guides. You have to pair it with your phone, signup with your email and then connect it to your wifi. Basically you give away lots of private information. (2) The non-stick pan inside is not ideal for such a premium product. I would prefer a stainless steel interior. However, the pan is easy to clean.
