2. Build quality
A small percentage of marriage or its complete absence is one of the indicators of the reliability of technology.The best pressure cooker in terms of build quality is Tefal's Turbo Cuisine CY753832. Compared to devices from other brands, this model is more reliable. There is practically no information about marriage in the reviews. Yes, there are people who are not satisfied with the speed of cooking and the high price, but the reliability of the equipment suits most users. The bowl has a spherical shape, nothing sticks to the non-stick coating.
Second place goes to Midea MPC-6002. Marriage occurs, but it is single. Basically, user dissatisfaction is associated with a lid, the fasteners of which fail over time. Daikin quality coated bowl: nothing sticks during the cooking process. The model is relatively new, so the average service life, based on reviews, is 2 years. But with proper care, the device can last longer.
The model from Mulineks is located at 3 positions. CE 500E32 has a good build, equipped with a bowl with a ceramic coating. The body is completely made of metal, which is why it gets very hot in any cooking mode, and this is not safe. There are also complaints about periodically coming across marriage in the form of a failing pressure sensor and a non-working valve. But such problems do not occur often. In general, a multi-cooker-pressure cooker is quite reliable, if you correctly approach its purchase. With proper maintenance and proper care, she will live quietly for 5, and even 6 years.
Redmond shares 4th place with ARC DSB60-1000F. Among the RMC-PM380 devices, marriage often comes across and you need to be very careful when buying so as not to be tormented by expectations of a return / exchange later.The bowl is not bad, the coating is Teflon, but the service life is short: replacement may be required after 12 months. operation. Of the serious design flaws, users highlight the fragility of the silicone gasket and valve.
ARC's DSB60-1000F has similar disadvantages to Redmond. The non-stick coating does not last long, at best - up to 1 year. Therefore, many users are advised to purchase a spare bowl with the device. In general, the model can work for 8 years, if you run into a successful copy.

3. Power and heating rate
What is the most powerful pressure cooker?All models have almost the same power in the range of 900-1000 watts. It is quite enough for quick cooking of cereals, first and second courses, baking and frying, economical energy consumption. True, the actual heating rate for some kitchen devices differs from the declared one.
The best indicator of power is in the multicooker-pressure cooker Midea MPC-6002. This device heats up quickly, the declared power of it is fully consistent with the real one.Thanks to the stable working mode of the pressure cooker, the device consumes a minimum of electricity - about 0.25 kW / h. Figures are approximate.
The second place is deservedly occupied by the Russian-Chinese model ARC DSB60-1000F. Yes, in comparison with Tefal, it is not so well assembled, but this device works out the declared power of 1000 W with dignity. The heating speed is optimal, you do not need to preheat anything: you can immediately start cooking.
CE 500E32 from Mulinex requires warming up for 7-15 minutes. before starting the desired cooking mode. And this is with a power of 1000 watts. Therefore, the device occupies the 3rd position.
Fourth is Turbo Cuisine CY753832. The declared power of this kitchen assistant is the smallest in the selection - only 915 watts. She needs up to 15-20 minutes. heating, and it takes up to 10 minutes to set the pressure. But not all users are dissatisfied with the speed of cooking: most of the owners, judging by the reviews, are satisfied with this feature of the model.
The 1000W REDMOND RMC-PM380 falls short of other pressure cookers in comparison. Heating is quite long - it takes up to 30 minutes. True, such a drawback is not found on all copies of this line. Perhaps prolonged warming is associated with a marriage that comes across.

4. Number of programs
The more functional the pressure cooker, the more dishes you can cook in it.The CE 500E32 from Mulinex has the largest selection of cooking modes - 21 programs, coupled with a delayed start and maintaining the temperature for 24 hours.This multi-cooker-pressure cooker, of course, is slightly inferior in terms of cooking speed to other models, but it has complete order with the functionality. You can adjust the temperature, use a delayed start when cooking in almost all modes, except for "Multichef", "Frying" and "Yogurt". The only thing that does not suit some users is the mode of cooking cereals. You need to get used to cooking cereals in milk.
Midea MPC-6002 has 15 built-in programs with a delayed start up to 24 hours. The model also has automatic maintenance of heating, temperature and pressure adjustment. Soups, meat, side dishes, pastries, yogurt, dough are prepared quickly and without much strain. But with cereals, the same problem as that of Mulinex - the cooking time does not match the declared one and the mode has to be restarted. True, this drawback is not found on all devices.
RMC-PM380 from Redmond with 14 programs, delayed start up to 24 hours and keep warm up to 12 hours takes 3rd place. Yes, it cooks for quite a long time, but this disadvantage is compensated by the ability to adjust the pressure and temperature (available in the “Masterchef Light” mode), as well as the sous-vide function. When cooking cereals, the device gains pressure within 10 minutes, and heats up in 5-10 minutes. But the larger the volume of products, the longer the kitchen device warms up. And the cooking speed here depends on the initial temperature of the “raw materials”.
Device ARC DSB60-1000F took 4 positions. The model has 12 built-in programs + "Multipovar", there is a 24-hour delayed start, but the cooking speed is lower in comparison with Midea, and there are fewer functions than Mulineks and Redmond. There are no complaints about problems with modes and cooking speeds, but due to the occurring marriage, some users got copies with inverted displays.On such devices, functions are turned on randomly.
Turbo Cuisine CY753832 from Tefal has 10 built-in automatic programs and 1 manual. Another model is equipped with a delayed start up to 12 hours, maintaining the temperature up to 24 hours. The device took the fifth place due to a very long preheating, combined with a minimum set of functions. But there is 3D heating and the ability to cook healthy dishes in sous-vide mode.
Model | Number of modes | 3D heating | Delayed start, h. |
Moulinex CE 500E32 | 21 | No | 24 |
Midea MPC-6002 | 15 | there is | 24 |
REDMOND RMC-PM380 | 14 | No | 24 |

5. Dimensions and design
What is the smallest pressure cooker?Mulinex ranks first in terms of compactness and lightness. This kitchen helper is the best in terms of size and weight. Yes, the design is the most common, but it fits perfectly into the interior of a small kitchen. The case itself is made entirely of metal, and the cover is metal + plastic.
Next in compactness is the RMC-PM380 pressure cooker from Redmond. It is quite a bit inferior to the model from Mulineks. The case is uncomplicated, made of metal.
The second place with the device from REDMOND is shared by Midea. MPC-6002 did not take the top positions, but in terms of height and width, the model is still slightly smaller than the leader of the selection, although it is heavier in weight. The pressure cooker also has an original futuristic design: the body looks expensive, even though most of it is made of plastic.
ARC and Tefal are the largest devices. They share 3rd place.Devices in comparison with Redmond and Mulinex weigh more, and even take up quite a lot of space. But they have a different design.
The Chinese device looks as simple as possible, although it is made almost entirely of metal.
Tefal is more stylish and attractive. The body of the branded multicooker is made of plastic and metal, but this does not make it less attractive.
Name | Dimensions W/H/D, cm | Weight, kg |
Moulinex CE 500E32 | 33/33/32 | 4.85 |
REDMOND RMC-PM380 | 32/33/30.5 | 5 |
Midea MPC-6002 | 30.3/29.7/31.2 | 5.3 |
ARC DSB60-1000F | 32.5/32.5/38.5 | 5.9 |
Tefal Turbo Cuisine CY753832 | 36.7/35.4/35.7 | 6.7 |
6. Ease of use
Which device is convenient to use every day?The models presented below are equipped with capacious bowls without handles, automatic shutdown of heating, sound accompaniment and quite suitable basic equipment. But not all of these devices are practical in daily use.
Tefal Turbo Cuisine CY753832 is the most convenient multicooker-pressure cooker. Combines intuitive operation and ease of maintenance. The large spherical bowl is easy to clean from food debris, the lid is removed and also quickly cleaned. The equipment is standard, but what is in the set is quite enough for daily cooking. Modes are switched with a single rotary button, each enabled function is brightly highlighted.
Midea MPC-6002 is a device worthy of 2nd place. Multicooker-pressure cooker is functional, easy to care for and manage. Only now the instruction let us down a lot: you will have to deal with the operation of this device for more than one day.
The device from Redmond takes 3rd place. The model, of course, is good for everyone, there is a removable cover, and a good bundle, but the information on the mode buttons is very hard to read.It will be difficult for a person with problem vision to constantly look closely at the control unit. And some users complain about incomprehensible instructions: the first time it is difficult to understand how to properly control the device.
The kitchen assistant from Mulineks was in 4th place due to the rather heavy lid and the inconvenient closing / opening mechanism, very poor equipment. The rest of the model is quite suitable for daily use. The display is informative, the buttons are easy to press, and the bowl is washed without any problems, as is the removable lid.
The pressure cooker ARC DSB60-1000F took the 5th position. She bypasses Moulinex in terms of equipment, but is inferior to her in management. The fact is that the Russian-Chinese device has cooking modes that are not quite standard. There is no cooking, stewing and frying. Only soup, porridge, meat, pastries, steam - it’s difficult to figure it out the first time. And yes, the instructions are poorly written.
Model | Lid | Screen | Cord, m | Handles on the case | Bowl | Equipment |
Tefal Turbo Cuisine CY753832 | removable | LED | 0.8 | there is | 5 l (useful volume 3-4 l) | - steamer; - scoop; - beaker |
Midea MPC-6002 | fixed | LCD | 1.2 | there is | 5 l (useful volume 3-4 l) | - ladle; - beaker; - containers for yogurt; - flat spoon |
REDMOND RMC-PM380 | removable | LED | 1 | there is | 6 l (usable volume 4.2 l) | - a support and the container for a double boiler; - spoon and ladle; - cup |
Moulinex CE 500E32 | removable | LED | 1.2 | there is | 5 l (useful volume 3-4 l) | - steamer basket |
ARC DSB60-1000F | fixed | LED | 1.2 | there is | 6 l | - a grill for steaming; - beaker; - a spoon |
7. User rating
Popularity is an indicator that is important to pay attention to when choosing a technique.The largest number of reviews about the model from Redmond. In Yandex.Market alone, the device received 511 responses from real users. This multi-cooker-pressure cooker, in comparison with Tefal, is, of course, of lesser quality, but it is also much cheaper than the branded device. Even despite the occurring marriage, the kitchen device remains in demand.
A little less feedback about CE 500E32 from Mulineks. On Yandex.Market, of course, she will not “make” Redmond, but on other Internet sites this model is one of the most popular. It is not surprising: at a fairly affordable price, the device is assembled with high quality and has a small (in comparison with REDMOND) percentage of defects.
Midea is not as common as Mulinex, which is familiar to everyone. But there are very few negative reviews about her. Therefore, the device deservedly shares the second place with Moulinex. The model has an adequate cost and good functionality.
The device from Tefal cannot boast of an abundance of responses. And it’s not about low popularity - the model came out quite recently, so it doesn’t have such a volume of reviews as Redmond and Mulinex. But the device has already managed to win the hearts of users due to its compactness, pleasant design and the most simple operation.
The modest multicooker from ARC is on par with Tefal in terms of the number of responses. The device is not the most popular yet, but it works out its cost honestly. Judging by the available reviews, this is a quite solid and inexpensive multi-cooker-pressure cooker that can live up to 8 years.

8. Comparison results
Which model is the best?According to reviews, specifications and user ratings, the Tefal Turbo Cuisine CY753832 gets the title of the best pressure cooker. Compared to the device from Mulinex, this kitchen helper received more positive feedback. But Moulinex CE 500E32 lost quite a bit to her. If it weren’t for the marriage that came across, then the French pressure cooker would have easily bypassed the expensive device from Tefal.
Midea is another direct competitor for Turbo Cuisine. She received a high rating, but she could not get around the Tefal device in terms of convenience of daily use and build quality.
REDMOND, despite its high popularity, like ARC with its low cost, remains in the margins of the rating. But this does not mean that the models are unusable. You just need to check the build quality of these devices very carefully before buying. Then they will serve you faithfully.
