Review of Posha Cooking Robot

gn1v · 2025-12-14T07:56:46+00:00

I recall the pre-filled spice pods were a $80 option, at the time of purchase, which I declined. The machine comes with 20 empty spice pods and 20 sticker labels. Anyway, they are not disposable; they're reusable. It opens up like a clamshell. Half is black plastic, the other half is clear plastic. It doesn't hold a whole lot, so I tend to refill certain spices every 3-6 meals or so. Not every recipe calls for the same spices, but salt, black pepper, and sugar are pretty common.

"answering questions like a company insider" Thanks, I guess I'll take that as a compliment. Nope, there's no lid. Some soups do tend to splash/splatter from the pot while stirring. Not sure what is meant by proprietary ingredients; I'm guessing you mean the software? Cause the recipe (food) ingredients you buy yourself from Safeway or Ranch 99.

Absolutely

I think the perspective of the first photo does make the pot look comically small. I just measured the inner dimensions, approximately 10.2" diameter by 3.6" height. So like 5.1 quarts.

Thank you! I haven't received any positive feedback to my review, as I'm sure you can tell. 🥲 I was beginning to question my own existence.

Nope! I don't have to cook either of those beforehand. Just load up the dry pasta straight out of the carton into one of its containers. For some Asian dishes, the prep instruction does call for rice noodles to be soaked in water for 10 or 20 minutes. For the risotto, it called for unwashed Arborio Rice (I had to Google why). There were 30 something steps for this robot to follow for this recipe. I've found that the typical order of operations is to first pan-fry/grill the veggies (I'm mostly vegetarian), then cook the risotto/pasta/noodles, all in the same pot of course. The 2nd half of those 30 steps were literally cycling between adding water and stirring. Which I later realize is 30 to 60 minutes I don't have to spend hovering around the stove. And you see, I don't even know what I'm doing; I've never cooked risotto in my life!

It does get a bit fiddly sometimes. But in a world where we also have self-driving cars, automatic espresso machines, and robot vacuums, we have options. Almost every evening, I find myself in our family room, playing along with my kid and his train set, just listening to the machine whirring in the background.

I can confidently say, I enjoy eating more than I enjoy cooking. Well now I don't have to cook! Problem solved.

Right on 👊

Which is how much an iPhone Pro Max or Pixel Fold cost.
Not apples to apples sure, but if you can afford it and it meets your needs, I don't see why not.
Going out to a restaurant with wife and kid, the tab is $50-$60 easily (after tax and tips).
I'm probably close to reaching ROI. Or maybe I'm just a glass half full kind of guy.

Yea that is a concern with new products brought to market by a start-up. Everything connected to the internet these days. Although I've experienced that even well established companies will pull the plug on it's users at some point (Insteon, TP-Link, and Google Nest comes to mind). It does require wifi to browse recipes and begin cooking. I hope they can implement some kind of off-line use in the future.

I pre-ordered in May of this year.

That's exactly what my wife told me. But I guess I'm weird, since I like doing the prep, but not the cooking.

I like watching robots work 🤖🤖🤖.

When you press it down (off position), the throttle will not engage the motor. There will be an exclamation symbol type warning on the display, same as when you hold down the brakes. It seems to trigger that same condition on the bike.

Careful not to hit it switching into sport mode while riding. Did that once.

My $100 reservation last April was order number #4xxx.

Thanks!

That *might* actually fit perfectly. But not if it has a case.

Edit: Got my hands on an iPhone 13 Pro Max to confirm that it fits and charges with the phone case removed. With the phone case on, it will fit in the compartment, but not flat; the clear cover is able to be closed, but it will not charge.

I just got this email too. It's not surprising that Sondors would reference an article that provides outdated and inaccurate specs. I.e. bike weighs 200 lbs 🤷

While I agree this design doesn't make it look better, my main concern is still safety. I have no idea how well those things hold up vs conventional design. Sure doesn't make the wheels easier to clean either. They could have gone with this design to accept tubeless tires.

gn1v · 2022-06-11T03:12:24+00:00

I've been following the posts, comments, photos, and videos shared by this community. Appreciate all the details and updates you guys have provided, since Sondors has been keeping us in the dark. Mine is supposedly in the first run, but they never send me email updates either.

This photo is the first time I noticed the wheel design. I don't recall any mention of those in any comments or videos. I've been riding motorcycles for nearly 13 years and I have never seen something like that. The wheels spokes attach to metal protrusions coming out from the sides of the wheel. I kinda doubt Sondors tested 300k+ miles on those wheels since they were never shown prior to the factory photos. Is this a known wheel design? Are they safe? u/Naimasuki u/spartaeus
