About the Midea 12-in-1
This is model MPC8002SBSK, an 8-quart multi-cooker in black with touch controls. The inner pot is stainless steel, and retailer listings say both the pot and the lid are dishwasher safe. Midea's US site doesn't list this model, so the details here come from retailer listings.
Twelve presets cover pressure cooking, slow cooking, sauté, steaming and rice, with others for oatmeal, soup, chili and yogurt. The base is rated at 1200 watts on 120V. A safety system the listings call REALSAFE covers pressure limit, over-temperature and overpressure automatic release, and the cooker shuts off automatically.
One listing describes a steam vent that directs steam away from the user. Another lists the contents as the cooker, a rice ladle, a measuring cup, a power cord and a manual. Contents can differ by seller, so check the listing you buy from.
What owners report about the Midea 12-in-1
Little owner feedback exists for this exact model so far, and most of what is public comes from a small number of retailer reviews and comments.
Owners who wrote about it like the sturdy build, the good seal on the lid, even cooking and the speed. The wide pot makes stirring and serving easier, and cleanup is easy because the lid goes in the dishwasher. Some buyers who compare it with Instant Pot models say it performs about the same in the 8-quart size for less money.
The complaints are practical. The control panel is less intuitive than rivals, and one owner could not work out how to change the cook time once a function had started. Another found the manual hard to follow because of poor English. Taller owners have complained about where the steam release sits, and one wanted a way to lift out the hot insert. Because the model is newer, there is not much to say yet about how it holds up after a year or two.
Who the Midea 12-in-1 suits
It suits a family of four or five, or anyone who batch cooks, wants a stainless steel pot rather than a coated one and does not need an Instant Pot badge. If you follow Instant Pot recipes closely, expect to adjust, since fewer recipes are written for this machine.
Look elsewhere if 8 quarts is more than your counter or household needs: the Cosori 6.0 Quart Pressure Cooker 9-in-1 or the Instant Pot Duo 6 Quart 7-in-1 are smaller. If you want the most established model with a long track record and sous vide, the Instant Pot Pro 8 Quart is the closer match.

Other multi-cooker picks
The other badge winners in our multi-cookers ranking.
Every score here comes from our ranking model; no editor sets the order. 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 17 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.
