The Midea 9-in-1 Pressure Cooker 7.6L goes first because it is the newer design. The Russell Hobbs Good to Go 6.5L Multicooker 28270 leaves owners a little happier. ## About the Russell Hobbs Good to The 28270 is a black countertop pot with a cast aluminium housing and a tempered glass lid. It holds 6.5 litres and is rated at 750W on Russell Hobbs' own pages. Some retailers quote a different wattage, so check the rating label on your unit. It has eight functions: sear, roast, sous vide, slow cook, steam, rice, boil and keep warm. There is no pressure cooking and no air frying. The control panel detaches, so the pot can be carried to the table and served from. Russell Hobbs describes the pot as dishwasher safe. A roast/steam rack comes with it. The UK brand page gives the height as 313mm and does not list width, depth or weight. ### Key specs - Capacity: 6.5 litres - Power: 750W (Russell Hobbs figure) - Functions: 8: sear, roast, sous vide, slow cook, steam, rice, boil, keep warm - Height: 313mm - Housing: Cast aluminium, black - Lid: Tempered glass - Accessories: Roast/steam rack - Warranty: Russell Hobbs' page promotes a "Free 1 Year Extended Warranty" but gives no terms ## What owners report about the Russell Hobbs Good to We found little owner feedback for this exact model that we could open, so this section is short. A Mumsnet reviewer, writing about the model, liked the slow cook results most, and found rice and searing worked well too. They found the control icons confusing at first, though the instructions include a key. They also found draining boiled food from the pot fiddly and hand washing awkward in a normal sink. They said the sear setting is less precise than a gas hob. We could not confirm the reports of units failing after several months from a source we opened, so treat reliability as unproven either way. ## Who the Russell Hobbs Good to suits It suits households that want a large, cheap slow cooker that also sears, steams and cooks rice, and that like serving from the pot. The sous vide setting is a bonus for anyone curious about it. Look elsewhere if you want pressure cooking or air frying. The Ninja Foodi 11-in-1 SmartLid Multi-Cooker 6L OL550UK covers both. For a larger non-pressure pot, the Ninja Foodi 8-in-1 PossibleCooker 8L MC1001UK holds more. It is also wide, so check your counter space. ## Questions about the Russell Hobbs Good to ### Where can I find the Russell Hobbs Good to Go 28270 manual?

Too few review sites cover multi cookers for their verdicts to lead, so this ranking is led by owners. It ranks products by how happy owners are, holding back any product few owners have rated until more agree. How many rated it and how new it is only settle close calls, and value for money earns its own badge rather than a higher place. We compared 23 models for this guide before settling on these ten. Brands can't pay to be included or to move up. We last checked these picks in October 2026.
