Our take on the CHEF iQ Smart Cooker

The CHEF iQ Smart Cooker is a 6-quart electric pressure cooker with a built-in scale, four sensors and 300+ presets, controlled mainly through the CHEF iQ app. Its standout feature is guided cooking: the app sends exact weights and times to the cooker, and firmware updates add features over time. It is 13 inches across and weighs 10.4 lb, so it needs real counter space. At $152.99 at Best Buy as of November 7, 2026, it sits at the low end of its recent range, with 6 stores pricing it new.
