1829 CARL SCHMIDT SOHN 6.5Qt All-in-One Pressure Cooker and Air Fryer

sam kovacs,sam kovacs,sam kovacs,sam kovacs,sam ko: Before I bought this I was worried it might end up like lots of kitchen gadgets. Use it once or twice before you shelve it. I’m pleased I ended using it all the time. Seems way better than crock pots. Wish I got into pressure cooking sooner. I don’t use the fryer lid as much but am glad it’s included. The over all quality is high.

K: I would not recommend this product. I bought it for my son-in-law as a gift and it broke down and did not work within the first month of use. He has been trying to resolve this with the merchant/producer to no avail.

Volcanomama: First, I really don’t want to leave a bad review because I LOVED this the first time I bought one. It has more features than the Instant Pot brand and is more intuitive to use IMO. I was so happy at first. I used it almost everyday and raved to everyone about how much I loved it.
One day it just stopped working in the middle of cooking. Screen went black, I checked the cord, and nothing. My husband tried to help, but nothing….I had it for almost 10 months and was beyond the window of returning it, but I still wanted another one. I saw it on sale on Amazon and went for it, but this time I paid for the Asurion appliance protection just in case. (BTW- that was another waste of money as they told me to ask for a refund through Amazon and refused to help after giving them all my personal information and cell phone #!! I have been getting spam texts like crazy ever since I ‘filed a claim’ and I feel very scammed. It is a whole separate ordeal that I’m trying to get a refund on.)
My second cooker literally broke three weeks from my date of purchase. I was using the sauté function and it started to smell like burning plastic. It overheated within 2-3...

sally siscosally sisco: I have a small kitchen, but I love the convenience of kitchen appliances. I recently fell in love with using an airfryer, and I use it for everything that would have previously gone into the oven. Next to the airfryer is my slowcooker, and my countertop is now full. So this pressure cooker/airfryer combo replaces both appliances PLUS adding on pressure cooker capability.
I chose this model for the interchangeable lids. I have cabinets above my available counterspace, and with some other models, the fryer lid stays attached when using the pressure cooker, making space and placement difficult. All controls are easy to use, and self explanatory. The only thing I don't like is that to set the time and temp, there is no numeric keypad so you have to advance using Up or Down to the desired setting. I don't know if other models have resolved this.
The functions work beautifully together. You can saute meat to brown it before slow cooking or pressure cooking. Or you can brown things up at the end with the airfryer function. The recipe book provided gets you started on creative ways to integrate the functions.

Howard V FisherHoward V Fisher: I had really been wanting a pressure cooker and an air fryer but knew I didn’t have the cabinet space to store both bulky items. This was the perfect solution with the lids that switch out. I’ve been making delicious fried foods with a fraction of the oil they’d typically take! They’re crispy and way healthier than regular frying. One con is that the air fryer doesn’t have a basket you can take in and out, you have to take the top off and flip that way. It’s a minor inconvenience and having it duo as a pressure cooker makes up for it in my book. It’s super easy to clean I just use my typical dish sponge and everything comes right off. Love that it comes with multiple accessories like the stand and the mesh basket; useful for cooking a variety of foods. I’ve already recommended this to my sister and friends because it works so well.

Edit: after reading the manual I found you can resume the air fryer program after removing the lid to flip. I’m adding one star back because this was my only complaint and it was user error not the product. All around recommended!

JMorariu: I hate to give this product a poor review because I absolutely love this pressure cooker and air fryer. However, after just a few weeks of using non-scratching utensils to carefully prepare and cook delicious soups, roasted chickens, air fried wings, egg bites and more, I noticed that the inner non-stick pot was chipping. I don't want to box up and return this entire product for a refund, but would like to get a replacement for the inner pot that does not chip in order to change my overall rating to a five star.

UPDATED: Customer Service was very responsive once I sent a photo of the chipping/flaking in the inner non-stick pot and sent me a replacement. I’ve changed my rating from 1 star to 4 stars because I received a new inner non-stick pot that looks to be thicker and hopefully will not chip or flake when used as directed. I would like to find a stainless steel inner pot that will perfectly fit my 6.5 qt Pressure Cooker and Air Fryer Combo. Many people do prefer to cook with stainless steel so I hope that this well-respected German Company will make a stainless steel inner pot that I can buy for the 6.5 qt model.
