The Polaris 600 IQ Widetrak is one of the most powerful utility snowmobiles available. The model is equipped with a time-tested unit with improved smooth operation and a modern design.
Polaris equipment is produced by a well-known American brand. The Widetrak series is considered the benchmark in its segment. Model 600 IQ is one of the company’s latest products (premiere year: 2010). It is based on an advanced chassis and a sports power plant. Unlike classic utilitarian snowmobiles, the Polaris 600 IQ Widetrak impresses with speed and power. Thanks to the new engine, acceleration is very fast and begins to fall only when exceeding 100 km/h.
The new unit required modernization of the platform, so the design of the machine was significantly redesigned. It has become more massive, but remains easy to control. The cross-country ability of the Polaris 600 IQ Widetrak has increased. Even the most difficult conditions are not scary for a snowmobile (a powerful engine and a wide track help out). The model is also perfect for utilitarian purposes. It is equipped with a comfortable passenger seat, a spacious trunk and underseat storage.

Smart ultrasonic humidifier Polaris PUH 9105 IQ Home
This is a smart humidifier that maintains an optimal microclimate in the house. Control is carried out via the touch panel, voice or through an application on the phone.

Monitoring of the filter status has been implemented, and in future releases reminders about the need to clean the humidifier will be added.
Convenient to use: one refill of a 5-liter tank lasts for 13-14 hours, and thanks to the low noise level and the “warm steam” function, the humidifier can be placed in a child’s room.

Smart kettles
Smart kettles differ from regular kettles in their ability to automate most standard functions. You can, without leaving the couch, command Alice to boil water or turn on the heating in the application when returning from a walk.
Another difference between these Polaris kettles is the ability to boil or heat water to the required temperature and then maintain the selected temperature.
For example, the Polaris PWK 1725CGLD WIFI IQ Home model has 11 preset modes (for baby formula, green tea, tea bags, instant coffee, etc.). This is convenient because, for example, not everyone likes boiling water and drinks warm tea. And if you need to prepare baby food, you don’t have to heat the kettle and then wait for the water to cool or dilute the hot liquid with cold. It is also possible to adjust the heating from 30 to 100 degrees in steps of 5 degrees and heating with hold. And if you haven’t changed the water in the kettle for a long time, then when you start heating (i.e. at a temperature below 100 ⁰C), the kettle will remind you that the water is “old” and it would be better to boil it.
Another interesting mode is IQ Boiling - this is a function of stepwise heating of water to its boiling temperature. When it reaches 100 ⁰C, the kettle will turn off, there will be no rapid boiling of water, due to which a smaller amount of mineral salts will precipitate and remain on the walls and bottom of the kettle in the form of scale. In the PWK 1755CAD WIFI IQ Home and PWK 1775CGLD WIFI IQ Home models, for example, there is also a “Tea Ceremony” mode - this is the same heating with hold, but with continued heating of water even after removing the kettle for 2 hours.
Smart kettles have protection against being turned on without water, so you can rest assured that your home is safe. Without setting parameters, the device turns on the previously set mode.
Engine
The Polaris 600 IQ Widetrak is equipped with a liquid-cooled Liberty brand gasoline engine (model 600 Cleanfire).

- turbocharger – absent.
The fuel tank capacity is 54.1 liters.
Smart multicookers
Multicookers themselves are considered smart appliances that can almost independently prepare dishes of varying complexity. But the Polaris smart home system models also differ in that they can be controlled remotely—you can cook or heat up your child’s porridge while at work.
For example, the Polaris PMC 0521 IQ Home multicooker supports 15 automatic programs and allows you to create personal modes. Can be controlled by buttons, voice or via an app. In the latter case, more than 700 step-by-step recipes with photos from the chefs of Gastronom magazine are available, which will significantly diversify your menu. In addition, there is a “My Recipe PLUS” function, which allows you to save your recipe and share it with friends. It is worth noting that the selected mode is maintained for 2 hours during a power outage.
All multicookers in the Smart Home line are distinguished by their stylish design, good power and a large number of programs.
Owner reviews
- Tundra-North: My father is fond of hunting, and he taught me to do this too. We've been riding Buran all our lives, but 3 years ago we replaced our old snowmobile with a Polaris 600 IQ Widetrak. The model was impressive. We traveled to taiga areas, the device had enough power under any load, even with 3 passengers, cargo and other rubbish. The advantages of the model are as follows: incredible traction, strong front end, relatively low fuel consumption even at high speed, reliable chassis, huge power reserves, unpretentiousness to Russian fuel, good design. Among the disadvantages, I would highlight not the best maneuverability (especially difficult in the forest), too much weight, excessive width and length (it’s very difficult to drive through the taiga) and poor handling at low speed.
- Equipment user: I bought a Polaris 600 IQ Widetrak in 2011 and have already driven more than 12,000 km. The car is reliable and starts in any weather. The sled pulls perfectly with a load of 400-700 kg. There have been no problems with the chassis or engine for 6 years. Average fuel consumption is approximately 22-25 liters (depending on speed and conditions). The snowmobile is reliable, nimble and powerful, I drove it in different places. During use, I changed the mudguard (it tore off almost immediately), the belt (3 times), and the spark plugs (3 times).
- Artem, Magnitogorsk: I liked the Polaris 600 IQ Widetrak. The snowmobile is excellent, it’s more comfortable to ride than the BRP Ski-Doo skandic wt 600 e-tec (compared with a friend). Accelerates in seconds. The maximum speed on it was 135 km/h. At the same time, the model is not considered completely sports and has excellent traction qualities. Filled with AI-92 gasoline. The disadvantages include high consumption at high speed - up to 50-55 l/100 km. Immediately after the purchase, I had to adjust the variator, and a knock was heard for a long time when starting off, but then it disappeared. There were no more problems in 3 years.
- Zimovik: For me, the Polaris 600 IQ Widetrak became the second snowmobile (I bought it after the LX). I purchased the device in 2012 at a big discount (it cost 340,000 rubles). In 4 months I drove about 1500 km and was satisfied (the check light does not light up, there are no breakdowns). The following season we had to replace the front lower control arms, which for some unknown reason were bent. In the third year, I heard a cracking sound in the box that appeared during sudden acceleration. It turned out that the chain had stretched. The next year we had to update the gooseneck and the alternator belt tensioner. At the same time, the dealer denied every problem and declared improper operation. I recently sold a snowmobile, but my feelings were twofold.
Smart floor scales Polaris PWS 1883DGFI
The scales measure more than just weight, but calculate the percentage of fat, muscle, bone mass and water in the body, as well as the body mass index (BMI).
To gain access to all functions of the device, you need to fill out information about yourself in the application, then through it you can track changes in dynamics. Great for those who are dieting or exercising and looking to lose weight or gain muscle mass.
This scale is made of laminated tempered glass. The surface is completely smooth, there are no protruding parts, even the electrodes are integrated into the glass part of the device in such a way that they are evenly distributed over it and do not stand out visually.
You can add up to 10 users to the app, who can also track changes in your body by weighing yourself daily. Just remember to save your weighing results.
Control does not involve any difficulties, without an application - these are ordinary scales that wake up from sleep mode when you stand on them. And after downloading the program, you only need to fill in the data once, then you only need to regularly weigh and monitor the dynamics.

Packaging and delivery
I was surprised by the dimensions of the packaging box: “probably this is not the model that was ordered,” I doubted. After all, we chose a multicooker with a 5-liter bowl, but here we have a miniature box. But, surprisingly, this compact package contained both the “correct” multicooker and a complete set of accessories, which were neatly packed in foam stoppers, plastic bags, and each securely fixed in its place.
Package Included:
- Bowl, volume 5l
- Flat spoon
- Tablespoon for soup
- beaker
- steamer container
- A warranty card, a user manual and a very cool recipe book, leafing through which you want to cook absolutely everything.
The packaging has a presentable appearance with a description of the main technical features and functional features. If you buy equipment as a gift, you don’t have to think about additional holiday packaging: give it as is, because the appearance is quite gift-like, plus, it will be convenient to carry such a gift, thanks to the strong plastic handle.
Appearance of the device
In front of me is a very compact, stylish multicooker in “black”. I will never tire of praising modern manufacturers for practical colors. Black, in my opinion, is more practical than white and all light shades and even gray, which strongly collects fingerprints. White fades and turns yellow over time, no matter how meticulous you are about technology. In a word, the model is very easy to care for. The multicooker body is made of combined materials: glossy black plastic and matte base.
Let me return to the dimensions of the device: indeed, the multicooker does not look bulky, it is quite light, and thanks to the strong handle it is convenient to transport. It does not dangle while being carried. The handle is strong, limited in movement by a lock at the back and at the top.
The top cover is made of glossy corrugated plastic, it looks beautiful, and despite the fact that it is glossy, the surface does not get dirty, or rather, marks are not as noticeable as on any smooth surface. The lid has a lid release button and a removable steam valve, which can be easily removed and installed in the connector. Looking ahead, I will say that the lid opens smoothly and does not pop out.
The front panel houses the controls and information display. Touch buttons are responsible for control, and actions are accompanied by light indicators and sound signals. I think there is no point in dwelling on each button like this; the manufacturer has thoroughly described their operation and various modes in the instructions for use.
An interesting thing to note is a button that has increasingly begun to appear on modern devices from famous manufacturers. This button is responsible for smart control of the device from a smartphone via wifi. Undoubtedly, it is convenient to do this from a distance, for example, at the end of the working day or, returning with your child from a walk, you can remotely control the multicooker, loading the necessary products into it in advance, press the START button through the application and enjoy a freshly prepared dish when you come home.
Looking ahead, I will say that for this you need to install the proprietary application “POLARIS: IQ home”, which is available for both Android devices and the IOS system. With it, you can launch any modes, use the Delayed Start program, save individual settings and create your own recipes and programs. And if you trust the company’s testers and their proven recipes more, then choose any one, there are almost 1000 of them in the database. What's good about the branded app is that the manufacturer is constantly improving it and adding new recipes.
This is what the application and pairing process looks like. Despite the fact that there are a lot of screenshots with settings here, these are for demonstration. In fact, the connection between devices is instantaneous. And repeated - even more so.
At the back, as I said earlier, there is a handle lock and a condensate container. It is quite modest in size. I need to check in operation whether its capacity is enough to prepare my favorite dishes. It is removed by pulling it out of the body. On the back there is a connector for connecting a network cable.
The side ends of the device are not functionally involved. But, because the bowl is equipped with handles, we can see them protruding from the body.
The base has massive high legs, 5 of them, and, by the way, some even without rubber gaskets, but the multicooker is very stable. There are ventilation holes at the bottom of the device. The housing does not heat up while cooking.
It is worth noting that on the case there are stickers with links to the smart start application, information data and confirmation of a long-term warranty.
Inside the multicooker we see metal walls and at the bottom a disk with a spring-loaded heating element in the center. The multicooker lid is equipped with a removable panel, of course, this is a huge plus of any model. After each mode, you can easily clean the removable parts. And, of course, I advise you to do this immediately, as soon as the device has cooled down, so that any remaining food will be easily washed off.
This model is perfect for preparing a large portion of your favorite dish, because the bowl has a capacity of 5 liters. The manufacturer more than once in its advertising brochures and videos focuses on the material with which the inner surface of the bowl is covered - this is a licensed Anato ceramic coating - durable, scratch-resistant, and most importantly, safe for health. Inside the device there is a separate flyer describing the coating from the Korean manufacturer. There is a measuring scale on the walls of the bowl.
I have already described a little above how to care for the device , but I will repeat some points: after the end of the program, and after the device has cooled down, it is advisable to immediately clean all removable elements. Wipe the outer body of the device with a soft damp cloth; do not use abrasives or solvents to clean the bowl. From my own observations, I can note that basically food residues can only form in the Frying mode, then it is better to “soak” the container before washing. What is most attractive for the lazy: the manufacturer allows you to clean the bowl in the dishwasher, however, in compliance with all recommendations.
Functional features and operation of the device
Of course, the first thing that will attract attention in this model is the possibility of remote control. Communication with the device occurs via a wifi connection. Prepare all the ingredients, put them in a bowl and run them away from home - that's what this opportunity is for. In the proprietary application, you can create “favorite” programs or use a very large +700 selection of proven recipes.
This is what choosing modes and creating individual programs in the application looks like:
This multicooker is very miniature, but surprises with its spaciousness: it is easy to prepare a large family dinner with it, because the bowl volume is 5 liters. This does not mean that you can fill the bowl to the brim with products - follow the recommendations in the instructions, the useful volume is about 4 liters. This is a large portion, which, believe me, will be more than enough for a family of 4 people. The manufacturer is especially proud of the ceramic coating inside the bowl; in all its advertising posts, it points to the durability and wear resistance of ceramics from the Korean manufacturer Anato. I did not check the scratch resistance mechanically, but the fact that this container can be washed in the dishwasher makes me believe the developer.
The slow cooker is very efficient, I'm ready to show you how I prepared a multi-course family dinner using only the slow cooker. At the same time, the cooking time can be significantly reduced if you use a second bowl instead. What I’m saying is that after each program you need to let the bowl, not the appliance, cool naturally, only then can you proceed to the next recipe. If there is a second container, then the dishes are prepared almost without interruption.
To start the multicooker for the first time, it is recommended to use the “Steam” program. This way you will boil the water in the bowl and get rid of extraneous odors, which, by the way, I did not detect))
So, I'll start with my favorite SUP program. This is a dish that always helps out if there is a child in the house. I’ll be honest, in our family it’s customary to prepare soups in small portions; I don’t prepare extra stock; my family members don’t like to heat up soups. Therefore, it is important for me that the soup or broth is freshly prepared. The function Delayed start and additional HEATING, if we just can’t get ready in the kitchen, are very useful.
This is the aromatic and satisfying pea soup I prepared for lunch. Of course, I was worried about the proportions and the choice of cooking time, because... I cooked by eye. But the soup turned out rich, the peas and potatoes were well cooked, and the broth was thick.
For the second course I prepared a fish dish for the children. To do this, I used two programs: FRYING and BAKING. First, with the lid open, I sautéed the onions and carrots with the FRYING program and poured the mass out of the bowl. Next, I fried pieces of white fish in flour batter until golden brown using the same program, without waiting for the bowl to cool. I placed fried vegetables on each piece, added mayonnaise, sprinkled with grated cheese and started the BAKE mode for literally 10 minutes. This way the fish cooks very quickly, while maintaining its shape and consistency, and, thanks to the vegetables, it turns out juicy and satisfying.
We treated ourselves to pork neck and chicken. I decided to bake the neck in a sleeve using the STEW program. The program I chose is long, I ran it for 60 minutes. As a result: the meat is very juicy, soft, very aromatic and practically not fried. This program can be used well not only for stewing meat, but also for preparing stews and vegetable dishes. The maintained temperature allows you to preserve the beneficial properties of the products.
The bird carcass was chosen to be specially small so that it could fit in the multicooker bowl without cutting it. Having marinated it, stuffed it with garlic, placed it on the bottom of the bowl and started the BAKING program. The meat turned out tender, juicy, and with one touch the flesh was easy to cut.
We prepared cauliflower as a side dish. And for this I didn’t need a traditional steamer. The new multicooker has an excellent STEAM COOKING mode, which allows you to cook food in such a way that all the vitamins and beneficial properties are preserved. (photo of the prepared dish above, with a fish plate)
Never before have I mentioned the excellent recipe book that the manufacturer included in the kit. Vivid illustrations, step-by-step descriptions of cooking, recommended modes and calculated times - everything is described in it to the smallest detail.
Of course, I really wanted to repeat all the dishes. But I started my acquaintance with baking. The kids and I chose the Orange Cheesecake. But, because My youngest doesn't like citrus fruits, so I had to take a risk and make changes to the proposed recipe. We replaced the lemon zest and juice with canned peaches. Looking ahead, I will say that this did not significantly affect the cooking process and the result. The cheesecake turned out delicious in appearance and delicious in taste. Of course, to prepare baked goods, the device is programmed in the same mode. We are used to preparing cakes, muffins, pies, casseroles and other dishes by BAKERY. But this time my multicooker worked in MY RECIPE PLUS mode: this function was created specifically for creative people. Thanks to the ability to independently set the temperature and cooking time, this program will give you truly limitless possibilities for preparing a variety of dishes, from the simplest to culinary masterpieces.
The preparation took place in several stages, and I started this mode out of curiosity.
Avoiding a recipe that called for orange zest, I had to puree the peaches in a blender. Having mixed the resulting peach mass, adding butter and sugar, juice according to the recipe, I prepared the cream in a slow cooker. Once the cheesecake had cooled, I placed it on top. There was enough peach cream left, and I got the idea to make ice cream for dessert.
Thus was born a new recipe for a “cold” dish prepared using a slow cooker)):
- 1st layer - sweetened cream
- 2nd layer - peach juice
- 3rd layer - cream (from the recipe book for the multicooker)
As for the program content, the choice is varied: JELLY, YOGURT, JAM, MILK PORRIDGE, GREATS, PILAF, OMELETE, STEAMING, TINCTURE, FRYING IN OIL, SOU VIDE, BREAD, OATMEAL, STEAMING, not to mention smart control and the remaining 50 programs.
It is very convenient that the execution of any program can be interrupted by the user, and in the My Recipe Plus mode you can change the temperature settings and cooking time.
Already mentioned above, but separately, with a maximum delay time of 24 hours. If you want to prepare food by a certain time, load the products in advance (if they are not perishable), set a timer, and wait for the sound notification that the dish is ready.
For me, a good continuation of any program is a special mode, which is also available in this multicooker. It’s difficult for us all to get together at the table on time, so the dish simmers in a closed slow cooker for an extra 15-20 minutes. To do this, I will set the settings to automatically turn on the HEATING mode. Please note that it will start if at the last stage the cooking temperature was less than 73ºC. I especially like this feature when exercising from my smartphone. We cannot live without a second dinner, and often, after a late walk with the dog, we sit down at the table)) Now, after a walk in the park, we can heat up food at a distance and return home to a hot second dinner.
Having prepared such a variety of dishes, the multicooker did not change on the outside; I simply refreshed the body with a damp cloth and washed all the removable elements. The bowl also did not change color or absorb odors. The manufacturer warns the buyer that changes in color inside the bowl over time are acceptable; for example, vinegar may change the color of the surface, but will not affect the integrity of the coating. To get rid of the smell of cooked food inside the multicooker, you should run the STEAM COOKING mode with the addition of half a lemon for 15 minutes, and the smell will disappear. But my advice is to immediately empty the multicooker bowl of food and remember that they cannot be left in the appliance for more than 24 hours.
Conclusion
The developers tried to create not just kitchen utensils, they paid attention to design and workmanship. This model is so compact that it will not take up much space in your kitchen, but, on the contrary, will become its decoration and the main performer of all the most delicious dishes. Using it as an electric stove, oven, steamer or multicooker, you will be satisfied with the result: 60 preset programs, an incredible number of recipes, a chic recipe book and a smart specialized application “POLARIS: IQ home” will make everyday life easier for any housewife. Start the multicooker remotely via wifi and, when you come home from work or a walk, enjoy a freshly prepared dish, start it in Delayed Start mode and surprise your loved ones for breakfast with an appetizing porridge or a delicious omelette, cook steamed diet food for your children, and if you like complex baked goods, then cook it step by step My Recipe Plus mode.
