For those who have decided to purchase a multicooker, we have prepared a small rating of the best models. They are all different, but some potential buyers need a complex functional one, others - a more spacious one. They are in the presented TOP. So that you do not waste time studying thousands of opinions and reviews, we have analyzed the modern multicooker market, studied many user reviews and compiled our rating of the best induction multicooker in 2020.
Differences between an induction multicooker and a conventional one
If you understand what induction heating in a multicooker is, then the principle of operation of such a device is that the heating element is the bowl itself, constructed from a special alloy, which is heated by a magnetic field, which in turn simultaneously and evenly distributes the temperature over the bowl and the food.
In a classic multicooker, a tubular electric heater first heats the bottom of the bowl, and only then the heat spreads further, which takes more time and the food does not start immediately. In some models, a tubular electric heater is located at the bottom of the bowl, on the sides and on the housing lid, creating a so-called 3D heating effect.

Pros and cons
The main disadvantage of an induction multicooker is that you will have to fork out for a high-quality appliance with a large number of operating modes. But it is still worth spending money on it, because in addition to helping in the kitchen, the induction multicooker has other advantages:
- energy efficiency;
- fire safety;
- fast food preparation;
- the benefits of cooked food.
Also, the multicooker has an irreplaceable delayed start function. The principle of this function is that you can leave food in the bowl and select a cooking method, and the cooking process itself will begin after the time that the user needs (usually up to 24 hours).
Harm to health
It is impossible to give a clear answer to the question of whether there is from an induction multicooker harm or benefit, since the benefits of food depend primarily on the products. And the magnetic field created by an induction multicooker is harmless to humans, since the multicooker body blocks it.
The harm of a classic multicooker operating on a tubular energy heater is its fire hazard. It puts a heavy load on the power grid and is not recommended for use in a house with unreliable wiring.

REDMOND RMC-IHM302
Another Redmond multicooker with a 4-liter bowl: for example, in the REDMOND SkyCooker M227S model its volume is larger - 5 liters. The Daikin coated bowl, like the previous model, is easy to clean with warm water and dish soap. Power - 1250 W. 11 automatic programs, recipe book. As in the previous rating model, the RMC-IHM302 has a Multipovar, MasterShef Lite and standard functions: automatic heating, delayed start. Both Redmond multi-cookers are identical in functionality, but differ in bowl volume, power, and remote control capabilities.
Benefits:
- high power - 1250 W;
- good design;
- compactness.
Disadvantages:
- small bowl;
- no remote control.
The model is very similar to the SkyCooker M227S, however, unlike it, there is no smartphone control function, and the cooking bowl is smaller. In all other respects, this is an excellent multicooker for 8500 rubles. I believe that there is no point in paying more, it is better to take the SkyCooker M227S controlled via a smartphone. She has a slightly larger bowl, but it costs 2 times cheaper.
Tefal RK807D32
The multicooker of a famous French brand, a manufacturer of household appliances, "who always thinks of you", is equipped with a 5 liter bowl with a non-stick coating. Power - 1200 W, which is quite a decent figure when compared with the REDMOND SkyCooker M227S (860 W). There are 21 automatic cooking programs on board. Both Redmond multi-cookers have 11. In the Tefal model, Fuzzy Logic technology is implemented - the multi-cooker will automatically determine the required temperature and time by the weight of the products: it will be enough just to press a button on the panel. Standard functions include automatic heating, delayed start.
Benefits:
- bowl volume - 5 liters;
- powerful;
- 21 auto programs;
- Fuzzy Logic technology.
Disadvantages:
- condensation drips onto the table;
- food and dust particles get clogged around the bowl;
- lack of remote control.
Tafal thought about their customers and created a good multicooker with a medium-sized bowl, high power, 21 auto programs. She cooks well, washes well after cooking, but there is a big drawback, recognized even by the developers, - this is a mistake in the design of the bowl, due to which condensation flows abundantly along the body onto the table. In all other respects, this is a very good device. The price - 12 thousand rubles - is, in my opinion, overstated, given such an error during development.

Bosch MUC48W68
A model of the German company Bosch with a standard bowl with a volume of 5 liters, with a Teflon coating: nothing sticks to it, does not burn.Easy to clean, but highly scratch prone. Power - 1200 W, as in Tefal RK807D32 model. 48 automatic cooking programs are more than Tefal (21) and even more than Redmond models (11 in total). Among the functions are keeping warm, delayed start, adjusting the cooking time. The peculiarity of the multicooker is induction 3d heating for faster and more uniform heating of food with high accuracy of temperature maintenance.
Benefits:
- a large set of automatic programs;
- you can create your own cooking algorithms: the technician will remember their parameters;
- 3d induction heating technology;
- continuation of the regime program in case of power outages.
Disadvantages:
- the maximum temperature (160 ° C) may not be sufficient for some types of baked goods;
- no pressure cooker function;
- overcharge.
The model turned out to be quite interesting and multifunctional. The set includes 48 automatic programs: such a variety will be appreciated by a lover of delicious food. I think the biggest disadvantage of the multicooker is the maximum temperature of 160 degrees. This is not enough for preparing many dishes: it turns out that you will be limited in the choice of what you could cook. Price - 15 thousand rubles.
Cuckoo CMC-HE1055F
The multicooker with a 5-liter bowl and XWall non-stick coating is an exclusive Cuckoo patent: nothing sticks to it, does not burn, the coating is easy to clean, does not scratch, and has a self-cleaning function. Power - 1400 W. This is the most powerful ranking model. 41 automatic programs are more than Tefal, Redmond, but less than Bosch MUC48W68. Among the functions - 3d heating, delayed start, automatic heating, cooking time adjustment. There are such minor, but very nice "chips" such as: non-heating bowl handles, a voice guide, a container for collecting condensate, which would be very useful for Tefal RK807D32: it has very big problems with this, working in thermos mode, steam release valve ...
Benefits:
- high power - 1400 W;
- recipe book for 250 dishes;
- non-heating bowl handles;
- container for collecting condensate.
Disadvantages:
- high price;
- the maximum cooking temperature is limited to 150 degrees;
- non-removable cover;
- the cover swings back when opened. Because of this, breakdowns often occur;
- expensive to repair and maintain.
The multicooker is excellent, it has a lot of thought out and made for the convenience of cooking. But after studying the reviews about it, I realized that it is inferior in quality to many. It often breaks down, its repair is not cheap, and damage to the case is not repaired at all, even under warranty. It must be used carefully, treated with care. There is enough power, but the maximum cooking temperature would be higher, and not 150 degrees. I believe that this device is clearly overvalued, that is, its price - 40 thousand rubles - is very high. It is better to take the Bosch MUC48W68 model, which is perfectly assembled, inexpensive to maintain, includes more automatic programs, and costs an order of magnitude cheaper (15 thousand rubles).
