Do you use an electric pressure cooker at home? This past year, I have been all about cooking from home and using an electric pressure cooker I purchased over the holidays. I will freely admit, I have a love and hate relationship with my cooker (which I bought on the recommendation of a friend). While I won’t say the brand, cooking is sometimes a major frustration since I have to constantly babysit the pot to see if actually builds pressure, sometimes taking more time to cook than if I prepared them the usual way. Waiting for the stupid little bobber to come up and pressurize has been something we have learned we have to plan around in our house, with me knowing I cannot step out of the kitchen for any reason until it pops, in fear of not being there when it fails to pressurize again. For this reason, I have never had the full out love for the pot that many of my blogging friends have with their pots.
In all honesty, since the first pressure failure ruined a meal, and each time I’ve had to reset the cooker and hope, I’ve seriously considered buying an old fashioned stove-top pressure cooker and giving up on having an electric one. It actually wasn’t until two weeks ago that I finally had hope again – a company I absolutely LOVE, Fagor, showed off their multi-cooker in an email – the LUX Electric Multi-Cooker. After looking at some of their specs online and watching some videos, this seemed to be the pressure cooker I had looking for, solving the pressure problem and many of the smaller issues we were having with ours. After speaking with them, I was excited when they offered send me a complimentary multi-cooker for review. Once it arrived, I couldn’t wait to get it open and try it out!

Fagor LUX Electric Multi-Cooker: Our Thoughts
I will freely admit, I was extremely excited for the Fagor LUX Electric Multi-Cooker to arrive. Having had a great experience with my Fagor juicer, I was expecting great things from my MultiCooker. While I haven’t tested all of the functionality just yet, I love that everything I have tried works as advertised. Having something to replace my broken rice cooker, be a slow cooker, and (of course) pressure cooker seemed amazing to me, especially since it has better temperature control from what I was reading than most slow cookers. What I cared about the most, however, is the pressure cooker, which claims to cook 70% faster and (as with all pressure cooking) retain more vitamins and nutrients compared to other cooking styles.
What I loved the most about this cooker was that it was extremely easy to use; it really was set it and your done, unlike my other multi-pot. As well, everything turned out perfect, making cooking very stress-free without the hassle that comes with my other multi-cooking pot. Honestly, if you are planning on getting a pressure cooker, buy the Fagor LUX Electric Multi-Cooker. It will make cooking so much easier and allow you to get rid of so many other small appliances in your house, which is much needed in our own home with our very small kitchen. Based on my own experience, I am delighted to give the Fagor LUX Electric Multi-Cooker an A+ rating and highly recommend it to all my readers!

I would love to cook with this. It seems so easy to cook with.
Looking good love to have this
Wow. This does look easy to cook with. I like how beastly it looks.
OH I need one!! I have heard so many amazing things about them but the one thing that really wins me over is the size!! I have a crock pot but boy is that thing a beast that takes up so much space!!
Hello, I agree that’s an issue. I can’t remember the brand, but it comes with either 3 or 4 removeable pots to cook with. L8TR!!!?
This is awesome,id love to own one,it’s so simplified compared to the old days of pressure cooking
Sounds like a good product. I would use it.We have way too many small appliances cluttering up the cupboards.
These are so great and easy to use. I love making this creamy chicken and rice recipe in mine.
I like these multicookers very convenient and versatile. I just wish it had a stainless steel pot just like the instant pot.
I could sure use this in my kitchen. Your dish looks amazing.
I own an Instant Pot but this sounds like a good investment for those who don’t own one. Sounds like a great cooker and may even think of getting one so I can have an extra cooker.
I have used a slow cooker but not a pressure cooker. I would love to have an instant pot to try it.
I think you would love having a pressure cooker. It is pretty much like having a very fast slow cooker. I have the Instant Pot and the Fagor – I think the Fagor is much better!
I may have to check the Fagor LUX Electric Multi-Cooker out. I have been looking and reading about these. This is by far the best review I have read on any brand. Thanks!
I have an electric pressure cooker, it’s fine for making stew, but I just haven’t found a whole lot of other things to do with it. I often rely on my stove-top pressure cooker when making rice or beans. I know how long I have to hang in the kitchen while it does it’s thing before I can shut off the stove & set it aside to finish cooking. I’d love to try the Fagor multicooker because it’s a pressure cooker, slow cooker, rice cooker, & yogurt maker all in one. To me that just sounds awesome! Thanks for the review!
I could really use one of these in my kitchen! I like how you said that it allows the food to keep more of the vitamins and nutrients as compared to other cooking styles. That’s awesome!
I’ve always had a regular pressure cooker. However, I have seen some amazing recipes for an electric one!
I won an Instant Pot (which is on the way) so It will be interesting to compare to the Fagor LUX Electric Multi-Cooker. I have a small rice cooker I’ll give to my daughter since I won’t need it, now.
Would love to have this I have a large family this would help so much for our family gatherings.
I work long hours so this multi cooker would make cooking dinner super convenient!
This looks like a top quality cooker! It is so easy to put ingredients in a pot and have dinner ready when I come home.
I have been dying for one of these!! I hear nothing but AMAZING things about them!! I feel like you can just do SO much with it!!
I’ve never used a multicooker, but I’ve heard great things about them. I like that this one has a removable pot and that it comes in 3 shades!
I’ve never used a pressure cooker. I’ve heard that you don’t even have to thaw meat, just stick it in frozen. That’d be perfect because I always forget to pull meat from the freezer.
Omg this thing is awesome,it does everything for you,just pop in your food set the time etc and you’re good to go,so cool for homemade stews or corned beef,id love to own one.
This would be great for trying new recipes! I love that it comes with some recipes 🙂
I have bad memories of the old stove-top pressure cookers but like the way they cook things, so the electric ones really appeal to me. The idea of being able to use it for multiple functions is a great bonus!
I am interested in the yogurt maker on this. I also would like the pressure cooker to keep the goodness of our food locked in.
This sounds so impressive. I love the idea of having an appliance that functions in so many different ways.
I have never owned a regular or electric pressure cooker. But, seeing how simple this cooker is to use I would love to have one.
I had now idea this product could do so many things. I would love to have one to replace all the other junk in my cabinets. Imagine how much extra room I would have!
Would love to have this…help lots with fixing dinner after a long day at work!
I would absolutely love to win this, I have wanted one but we just got custody of our 3 yr old grandson and the attorney fees ate up quite alot of our savings. I do alot of cooking in large quantities so that I can freeze for a later date, so this would be a fantastic cooker.
I have never tried cooking in a pressure cooker and would love to try it. They sound like real time savers.
I have been looking for a replacement for my old style pressure cooker. Looks like I found it! It’s fantastic that this one unit can do so many cooking styles, and do it well. I’m in!
Wow, this device really does it all and would make dinner time so much easier. I would be especially curious to try the pressure cooker feature, since I have never explored that cooking method.
I have not had an opportunity to try one of these yet but like the idea of cooking foods faster and preserving the nutritional value.
I love that this one has a setting for each brown and white rice, and a simmer setting. So cool!
I got one for my daughter as a wedding gift.She loves it.
I have a very old crock pot and never had a multi cooker.. It appears to do so many things that it would save me time in the kitchen.. I am often intimidated by too many new tech gadgets but since this one appears easy enough I would love to have one….
I have been wanting one of these for a while! I could cook so much more!
These cookers are just so nice to have. You can cook a roast and it just falls apart. Everybody needs one of these.
I am super stoked over seeing this review. I’m crazy about slow cookers, and knowing how bad mine is.. God, I am panting for this!
Everyone talks about their (other brand) of cooker but I have not jumped aboard yet. I have used regular pressure cookers, but eventually the seal deteriorated and you are left with a basic cooking pot. I am wondering if this will work for a large family.
My mom used the same size pot to cook for six of us growing up. I chose the 6 qt one because it is only the two of us (and cooks enough leftovers for multiple meals for both of us). If I had a larger family though, I would likely go with the 8 qt pot.
Wow, I need to get my mom one of these for her birthday which is coming up! She loves cooking in the pressure cooker, slow cooker and she got some new sort of cooker that like cooks with hot air or something… I have no idea, sounds super weird to me, but she would love this all in one! Especially since the seal is no good on her pressure cooker!
My Mum used a pressure cooker and turned out the most tender meals in small amount of time. This unit makes cooking so easy. Bonus, fewer appliances to store.
I would love to own a pressure cooker
I need one of these bad boys so bad. I have a crock pot and I love all the recipes you can make with them. I love all the recipes I could be making with this too!
I use my multi cooker every day. I have finally wore mine out and it quit working last week. I really miss my cooker. I always used the pressure cooker the meats turn out so tender.
I have used a pressure cooker all of my life. I have wanted one of these that do so many different Things. My Daughter has one and she loves it. I Would Love To Have The 8 Qt. Thanks For The Chance..
Wow,I Did not know it had so many settings on it.
This would wonderful for the holidays and other gatherings. I come from a very large family. This would sure come in handy.
This is amazing
My son would uesthis
This looks amazing! Love the yogurt option! Never seen that before.
wow i really love this device
I didn’t realize that it was a pressure cooker and a slow cooker. I love that you don’t have to have two separate machines to cook each way.
I’ve been interested in one of these for awhile, but they looked kind of complicated. I’m glad that you think it is extremely easy to use, because that kind of eases my concern. The nicest thing about this besides the speed of cooking is that it would take a lot of other things off my counter because it’s so versatile.
I am really impressed with Fagor products. Efficiency is the key to saving energy and money which Fagor provides.
this would be perfect for my kitchen, I cook every day somy boyfriend can have dinners at work. This would be awesome, I could do so much more than with a crockpot.
I would love this for so many reasons, but would love to try to make rice and oatmeal in this multicooker.
I covet one of these so very much! How does it compare to the Instant Pot (aren’t they similar)?
I’ve heard a lot of good things about these products – i’d love to win one!
I’ve never tried a multi-cooker before. Would be convenient to remove the multiple appliances that this cooker would replace.
I have a crock pot and a rice cooker and boy would it be nice to have an ALL IN ONE! I think in my childhood years, we had an old fashioned pressure cooker and it was always so fun to place bets on when the togger would pop! I’m so happy you were able to replace the one that was giving you problems. Sometimes cooking can give me anxiety and what you recounted would have sent me running to the woods!
I bought my wife an electric pressure cooker for Christmas this year and she loves it. The one we have is an 8 quart size and I would recommend getting the larger sized one to have enough room for larger sized meals and whole chickens, etc. They are really easy to use and it really infuses the flavors into the meats and veggies in a short time.
I would like to try one of these for those days when we are both working overtime. It would be much healthier than carry out or eating out.
This looks awesome Id love to have one,id make spaghetti sauce,meatball and so much more
I would love to own this it looks so easy to use and quick to cook items in thanks for sharing your opinion I have been wondering which pressure cooker to get.
I’ve seen these around lately. It seems like a great option but it would be a matter of actually using it to make it a good purchase.
I have never owned a Electric Multi-Cooker. But, I’ve always wanted one. Love all the features to help simplify my cooking. Your review for the Fagor LUX Electric Multi-Cooker is awesome and I’d love to win one of them. Thanks for the opportunity and chance.
I never realized that there was such a cooker. I use my slow cooker pretty much daily. I had seen recipes that require a pressure cooker, so was contemplating getting one of those too. As for the rice cooker part of this, that too is something I wasn’t aware of (not the electric ones)… I’m seriously considering getting one of these.. This is great!!!
I love using my current pressure cooker. My spouse and I have used it to cook all sorts of things from a whole turkey to rice to pulled pork.
I remember my Mom using a pressure cooker once and a while. I think she always used it to to a boiled dinner of beef, cabbage, and carrots.
Fagor makes such quality products that i would imagine this really is a great cooker. I would love to have it to make hot meals during the summer that don’t have to go on the grill. I bet it would be great for prepping ribs too though.
I love the fact that this cooker have so many different functions! What a help it would be to be able to grab this instead of having to search for different cookware devices for a certain purpose.
I would love to cook with this. It seems so easy to cook with.
This looks great. It seems to have so many different ways to cook. I would love owning one
I love that this is four popular kitchen devices into one: a pressure cooker, slow cooker, rice cooker, and even yogurt maker. Since we have a small kitchen it would be so nice to get rid of all the others and just have this one!
I have never used a pressure cooker. That said, I have a friend who got a “smart pot” and loves it. So I would be interested to see what this can do.
I have a stove top pressure cooker, but the electric one looks interesting. I like the fact that pot is a four in one. I love the fact it is a slow cooker & pressure cooker.
Wow. Seems so versatile. We have little counter space. Something like this would be very helpful.
Thank you for the info on this! I have never used a pressure cooker & have been wanting one for awhile.
I like that they offer an 8 quart version. That is essential for larger families like mine. I’d love to try the yogurt function.
I wasn’t aware that they had a 4 quart option. That would be great for this empty-nester. Sounds great.
I love how versatile it is. Plus the easy to use controls make cooking a snap.
I have been very intrigued by the pressure cookers. I’ve never used one before. I do use the heck out of my slow-cooker and it desperately needs to be replaced.
I live in a small NYC apartment so this would be so perfect to replace my slow cooker and rice cooker(which never gets used) with. I think it’s great that they have different size versions too.
I have always wanted a pressure cooker this one looks awesome. I use my slow cooker all the time, this would be great and save space that it can replace my very old slow cooker and my rice cooker. This machine would be on my counter and used almost daily.
My husband would love this, he asked for one for his birthday.
I did not know that the interior pot was ceramic coated, LOVE that! Also would love to try the yogurt setting and the brown first. So much easier than browning on the cooktop and then into the slow cooker. Thanks.
I need this! I have a Fagor stovetop pressure cooker and it’s so great. The quality of their products is amazing. This would be such a convenient thing to have for my busy family!
I have heard of these and wondered what they were all about. Thanks for the review, it definitely helped explain things. I love the versatility of this product, and the fact that it comes in several sizes and colors.
Since I don’t cook, something like this would certainly help get me out. And I love that it gives you the option for white or brown rice.
I love that this can be used as a pressure cooker or a slow cooker. The silver one wouldn’t go perfectly in my kitchen.
I meant to say the silver one WOULD go perfectly in my kitchen.
These newer electric pressure cookers seem so versatile with their different cooking options. It would be a splurge for me as I already have a stovetop pressure cooker.
I have a different brand, but they do pretty much the same thing. Everyone should have a multi cooker! I still need my rice cooker and slow cooker, since there will be times I need to cook the rice separately, etc., but I love that this unit can do so much! I don’t remember my mom ever really using a pressure cooker when I was growing up. Of course, back then, it was a huge, metal pot that you used on the stove. I much prefer the counter top style.
I am seriously considering purchasing this. Our oven usually does not work, cannot be repaired, and we are not in a position to get a new one right now. This would be wonderful, I am SO tired of microwaving everything, and losing all the flavor!
I vaguely remember my mom using a pressure cooker on the stove when I was growing up, but I doubt she used it very often, since I think I’d remember more about it if she did. I’ve avoided buying the stove-top style – first I had small children, and now that they are older, I have dogs and cats who like to investigate in the kitchen. I did get a similar multi-cooker and I can’t say enough good about cooking in these! There’s nothing better to make pulled pork in, and you don’t have to wait 8 or 10 hours. I have an older, separate rice cooker, but was figuring it was about time to replace it . Now I cook my rice in the multi-cooker. So much you can do in these!
As we eat lots of rice,lentils soup,and presurre cooked potatoes and other vegetables , love to win
I own a lot of pieces but this looks like something I need to buy
I have seen many recipes that are made in these pots. I will be exploring the possibility of buying one.
I would love to have one of these. I recently got my first slow cooker, this is next on my list!!!
