Is the Sage the Fast Slow Go worth it?
Yes — for stews, soups and steaming.
It pressure cooks, slow cooks, steams, sautés, makes risotto and yoghurt and does sous vide in a 6-litre stainless-steel pot. Each job has its own button, such as soup, stew, rice or risotto, so it's quicker to set than the Fast Slow Pro's menus, and it releases the steam for you. Testers got a rich, tender beef stew first time, well-steamed dumplings and near-creamy risotto with no stirring. It's well built and usually much cheaper than the Pro. Rice came out sticky in testing, the hot inner bowl is awkward to lift out, it's quite large, and the recipe book is thin.

How we reached this verdict
T3 found it cooks most dishes with ease, from an excellent beef stew to steamed dumplings and close-to-creamy risotto, and calls the price excellent, but both of its rice tests came out sticky. Ideal Home names it its best 8-in-1 multi-cooker, for its clear controls, hands-free pressure release and easy presets, though it's expensive at full price and the lid is fiddly. Verified buyers at Currys mostly love how well built and quick it is; the few gripes are about the recipe book and the learning curve.
We compared independent expert reviews with the manufacturer's specifications, then checked it's sold at a major retailer where you live. We don't test products ourselves.
