About the manufacturer
The history of Redmond Corporation begins in 2007, when two experienced American entrepreneurs, one of whom at that time served as chairman of the board of directors of Energy Supply Systems LTD, decide to organize their own brand for the production of small household appliances.
Refusing to participate in the “race for the quantity” of manufactured goods at the beginning of the 21st century, which arose as a result of the technological crisis at the time on the world market, the newly-formed company focuses on creating small, high-quality household appliances at affordable prices in strictly limited quantities . This approach to doing business caused a peculiar dissonance among Redmond's competitors, who have been working in this area for several years.
Having correctly determined the needs of the majority of multicooker buyers, consisting in the desire to have not only high-quality, but also a stylish household device, Redmond Industrial Group provided the opportunity to use “premium” equipment with a unique design and versatile functionality for people with any income level.
The head office of the company is located in the state of Florida, USA. However, due to the increased demand for household gadgets of the brand in question, representative offices of the corporation are opening all over the world, in particular in Russia and neighboring countries. This fact makes it possible for the manufacturer to provide an extended warranty period for their devices, regardless of the location of the buyer.
Thus, Redmond, using high-strength environmentally friendly materials in the production of products, not only offers consumers to buy high-quality equipment at an affordable price that can properly perform their functions for more than one year, but also a stylish device that creates the image of a “luxury” device with its appearance, it’s easy fits into any interior.
About product
At first glance, multicookers of the manufacturer in question differ little from their counterparts, but this judgment is superficial. Among the features that provoke increased attention of buyers to the "Redmond" household devices, we can distinguish them:
- multifunctionality (modern models of Redmond multicookers are equipped with a wide range of automatic programs, from 7 to 55, including both traditional modes, for example, “cooking”, “frying”, “steaming”, and more rare ones: “yogurt”, “ cottage cheese ”,“ dessert ”,“ baby food ”and so on);
- build quality and resistance of materials used in the production to external mechanical stresses (according to the manufacturer, all cases of devices of the brand in question are made exclusively from heat-resistant, environmentally friendly, wear-resistant materials, and functional bowls have a non-stick coating that is safe for the user even when used at high temperatures );
- the “delayed start” option, which is provided in absolutely all multicooker models of the modern Redmond product line (allows you to program the gadget to prepare the necessary dishes by the set time, for example, setting the “cooking” time from early morning, you can “order” meat soup for lunch and so on );
- ease of maintenance (using the help of a household gadget from Redmond in daily cooking, there is no need to choose detergents with a certain “powerful” composition, due to the possibility of eliminating even the most difficult contaminants by washing the functional bowl of the device under running water);
- maximum safety in the process of direct operation (the vast majority of models have built-in sensors that respond to a sharp increase in temperature inside the structure or functional failures in the automatic algorithms of household appliances by emergency shutdown);
- intuitive operation (thanks to the provided LCD screen on the body of most Redmond multicookers, even a novice user who is far from advanced technologies will cope with the management of these devices).
Thus, we can conclude the validity of the choice of many buyers in favor of household gadgets of the corporation in question, given a number of their features that are characteristic of the vast majority of “representatives” of Redmond equipment. However, when making the final decision on the appropriateness of such a purchase, it is important to create the most complete picture of the advantages and disadvantages of multicookers of the American brand.
So, in addition to the above characteristics, the positive aspects of the use of household devices of this company should include:
- “Extended” basic equipment from the manufacturer (functional capacity, measuring cup, plastic spoon and soup ladle, recipe book, accessory for steaming);
- 3D heating function (provided in most products of the Redmond multicooker model range; provides uniform baking of bakery products or heating of main dishes);
- supply of the multicooker bowl with handles for the convenience of its extraction by the user;
- high-quality non-stick coating of functional capacity;
- the option "disable automatic heating" on the latest models of multicookers, significantly saving the energy consumed by the gadget;
- the cleanliness of the surrounding surfaces when frying dishes with oil in the household appliance in question;
- saving time (by loading the necessary ingredients into the multicooker bowl, the user can go about his business, entrusting the cooking to an “automated assistant”, without worrying about possible burning, “digesting”, and so on).
Despite a large number of advantages, Redmond home appliances, as well as household appliances of other brands, are not without certain disadvantages. The most popular among them are:
- the high cost of components and repair of the multicooker in case of breakdown;
- unpleasant construction odor during heating during the first few uses;
- lack of backlight on the LCD screen of some models;
- insufficient capacity for cooking steamed;
- acquired dark shade of the bottom of the multicooker after repeated use;
- lack of a functional power button on the device;
- Insufficient network cable length.
So, if, despite the negative aspects of using Redmond multifunctional household appliances, you have kept your intention to buy it, then it would be best to familiarize yourself with the top models of the modern model range of products of the brand in question.

For me, my Masterfray 231 is the best, all the more so there is nothing to compare with before the usual multicooker, I remember with not the best feelings
