How does it compare with an Instant Pot?

Both are electric multi-cookers with preset programs and a stainless steel pot. The Simenmax uses a dial rather than a digital button panel, which is simpler but less precise. Instant Pot has a larger recipe and accessory ecosystem.

Is 8 quarts too big for a couple?

It is large for two people. It suits batch cooking, meal prep and families, but small portions cook less evenly in a big pot, so a 6-quart model may fit better.

Can it really can foods?

It has a canning program, but electric multi-cookers are not approved for low-acid pressure canning by the USDA. Use it for high-acid foods like jams and pickles, and follow tested canning guidelines.

Does the inner pot go in the dishwasher?

The stainless steel inner pot is removable and easy to hand wash. Check the manufacturer's care instructions before putting it in a dishwasher.

What can I cook in it?

Stews, ribs, beans, rice, grains, steel-cut oats, steamed vegetables, yogurt and cakes, plus sous-vide-style dishes. The 24 presets set time and pressure for each.

Our take on the Simenmax 8Quart Electric Pressure Cooker 24-in-1 Multi-Cooker

The Simenmax is an 8-quart electric multi-cooker with 24 preset programs, run by a single dial instead of a button panel. It covers pressure cooking, slow cooking, steaming, rice, yogurt, canning, cake and sous-vide-style cooking, so it can stand in for several countertop appliances. The 8-quart pot is large enough for big batches and family meals, which puts it against large-capacity rivals like the Instant Pot Duo 8-quart and Ninja Foodi. The dial is easier to learn than multi-button panels, but it gives less precise control over time and temperature.
