Our verdict on each
Chef iQ
Chef iQ suits cooks who want guided multicooker programmes and a low entry price, and it is less convincing for anyone shopping for an air fryer range. Entry price of $5 sits at 3 of 87 brands, and programmes count of 300 ranks 1 of 60.
Daewoo Electricals
Daewoo Electricals suits UK households buying a starter kitchen piece by piece, with the range starting at £14.99. The trade-off sits after the sale, since support runs on email, chat and help centre and there is no spare parts shop to lean on.

Pros and cons
Chef iQ
Pros
- Programmes count of 300 ranks 1 of 60 brands in this group.
- Entry price of $5 places the brand 3 of 87 brands ranked on price from.
- A mobile app is included, so recipe steps and settings sit in one place.
Cons
- Product types cover the multicooker alone, so an air fryer shopper has nothing to compare here.
- Capacity of 5.67-litre ranks 44 of 69 brands, which is a small bowl for batch cooking.
- Warranty cover runs 1 year, shorter than many appliances in this category.
Daewoo Electricals
Pros
- Kitchen prices start at £14.99, putting Daewoo Electricals at 13 of 87 brands on price from.
- A single seller covers air fryer, blender and stand mixer, so a whole kitchen can be filled without mixing brands.
- Dishwasher safe parts are listed as yes on the blender, mixer and processor range, cutting down on hand washing.
Cons
- There is no spare parts shop, so a worn jug or seal becomes a support case rather than a quick order.
- Support runs on email, chat and help centre only, with no phone line in the published channels.
- An air fryer capacity of 17-litre places the brand at 7 of 69, so bigger households should look elsewhere.
Who each suits
Chef iQ
Who it suits
- Cooks who want guided cooking steps in a mobile app rather than freehand timing.
- Households wanting a single multicooker for pressure cooking and slow cooking.
- Shoppers in the US, Canada and Mexico who want a low entry price for a multicooker.
Who should look elsewhere
- Air fryer first buyers, since GASTROBACK and Daewoo Electricals both list air fryers alongside other product types.
- Large batch cooks, because the capacity ranks near the back of the field.
- Shoppers outside US, CA and MX who need a broad local support network.
Daewoo Electricals
Who it suits
- Renters and new buyers setting up a kitchen on a budget, who will take dishwasher safe parts and a 3 years warranty over flashier extras.
- Households that want floorcare and air quality from one seller, with a robot vacuum at 4,000 Pa and a purifier for 11 m².
- Drinkers moving from a kettle to real coffee, with machine types listed as drip, espresso and grinder and an automatic frother on the espresso model.
Who should look elsewhere
- Cooks after a multicooker: GASTROBACK lists air fryer, multicooker and blender, while Daewoo Electricals lists air fryer, blender and stand mixer.
- Drinkers who want beans ground inside the machine: Chef iQ focuses on multicooker, and the grinder here is not built in.
- Shoppers who want a phone line and a parts store rather than email, chat and help centre with no spare parts shop.

Questions about each
Chef iQ
How much does a Chef iQ multicooker cost to buy?+
Entry pricing starts at $5 across the range listed by the brand. That puts Chef iQ at 3 of 87 brands ranked on price from, one of the stronger positions in this group. The reference models are iQ Cooker, iQ MiniOven, iQ Sense, so the entry figure covers the range rather than a single appliance.
Is there an app for the Chef iQ cooker?+
Yes, a mobile app is part of the package for the iQ Cooker. Guided recipes, timings and settings are handled there rather than through a control panel alone, which is the main reason to pick this brand over a simpler multicooker. Buyers who prefer a physical dial will find the app adds a step rather than removes one.
Daewoo Electricals
What does Daewoo Electricals cost at the entry level?+
Kitchen appliances start at £14.99, with the blender, mixer and processor range setting that floor. Coffee machines begin at £24.99, and the top of the coffee range pairs 20 bar with an automatic frother at £179.99. These are product prices rather than plan tiers, so the entry figure is the cost of the appliance itself.
Is there a subscription or renewal fee after buying?+
Daewoo Electricals lists product prices rather than plans: the entry and flagship figures are the cost of an appliance, not the start of a contract. For context, the median monthly monitoring charge across brands in this group is €0, and the median contract length is 0 months. Anyone budgeting yearly should set the purchase price against the running cost of a subscription appliance.
