Customer Ratings & Reviews

Ever since a co-worker brought this to an office potluck, I have been fascinated. It wasn’t until Black Friday and with my Best Buy reward money, it fell within my price point. Best purchase ever! I have 3 crockpots(and I love my crockpots!) but this is sitting on my counter in constant use. My food is quick, tender and tasty. I have started to cook again during the week. I call that winning!

My Instant Pot is such a time saver. I can brown or saute meats and vetables in the same pot that I use to pressure cook my meal. The pressure holds all the vitamins and mimerals inside the food and creates very healthy and tasty food in a short period of time. I love it!

I like Indian food and it's instant pot feature makes it a good fit to cook Indian food. I am happy with it's cooking results. Just learn how to set your time for cooking. It may take less time to cook after pressure is built for many indian food dishes.

I love my instant pot. I used it all of the time when doing meal prep.

No cons. My Girlfriend just wants a bigger one now. She says if she had four, she'd get rid of the stove. Lmbo!! I think she likes it.

There are many brands of electric pressure cookers on the market. The biggest pros to this model: 1. Instant Pot is arguably the best-supported brand out there, for warranty claims, replacement parts, and various Internet communities where owners and enthusiasts and bloggers share information and recipes and product knowledge with each other. 2. The Duo V2 offers manual control on both high pressure and low pressure, as well as a yogurt cycle. Most cooking is done on high pressure, but low pressure definitely has value for cooking more delicate foods, steaming fish, steaming vegetables, etc. The yogurt cycle on this model works very well. 3. Stainless steel inner pot is the ONLY one to get, in my opinion. It's definitely the most durable and long-lasting. The nonstick coatings, either PTFE or ceramic, are more delicate, food still sticks to them, and they peel, chip, or get gouges in them eventually. Stainless is dishwasher-safe. Easy to clean. 4. Replacement parts are readily available. Instant Pot has an online store where you can order gaskets, inner pot (stainless or nonstick), lids, bases, and more, including accessories. It’s unclear to me why Best Buy and other retailers don't stock the gaskets in their stores. 5. Warranty replacements: I haven't had to make a warranty claim, but many people report that Instant Pot customer service is efficient, prompt, and easy to work with. 6. Size: 6 qt is the standard size that most recipes are written for. There are many Internet sites and Facebook groups for Instant Pot, and the Duo60 is a well-known model that hoards of people own. 7. Cheesecakes: People make some awesome cheesecakes in these. Cons: Few. 1. Be aware that the gasket in the lid will pick up food odors, and it's generally going to smell like the last food you cooked. Most people who cook a wide variety of different foods in their IP buy spare gaskets. They keep one for spicy, one for sweets, and one either for blander things like rice or potatoes, or to have a brand new spare on hand. 2. Pressure cooking is different from other types of cooking. If you have no experience, do some research, and perhaps start with inexpensive things like making potato salad, boiled eggs, or mac and cheese, and small inexpensive roasts. 3. Not everything is meant to be pressure cooked. This appliance is not the best tool for every job or food. Slow cooker function works better for soups and broths than it does for meats and other solid foods. This device heats from the bottom up, and will cook unevenly unless stirred. 4. NO recipe book or user guide that comes with any of these pressure cookers is going to tell you everything that you need to know, or provide a million and one recipes. Find the Facebook groups for Instant Pot and you will find a plethora of information and help there.

The Instant Pot is an amazing piece of technology. I read many reviews before buying this and you would have a hard time finding a negative review. There is a learning curve because this is not just a slow cooker but the instructions are easy to understand and the product works great. A great time savor and very effective as a way to reduce calories by cooking with steam and/or pressure. I just ordered an Instant Pot cookbook because the recipe book that is included is limited to only a handful of recipes.

Love it! So many uses and makes the best cheesecake. The 6 quart is a good size - big enough for a 6 or 7 inch pan. The only recommendation is to purchase an extra sealer ring as it holds odors. Use one for cooking meats and the other for desserts.

I love this Instant Pot, It does everything, and well. I love that you can do whole wheat pasta, using the sauté Mode for the veggies, then adding everything else to this same pot and after it's done no heavy pot of boiling water to drain! Makes perfects grains. Easy to use (Make sure and read specifics, like doing the pot inside pot method for sauces or reheating thick soup.) There are great videos to make it easy to use right out of the box :) I've bought two others to give as gifts :)

This pot does it all flawlessly! Pretty easy to operate and cooks food perfect. Must have in your kitchen.

I had a 3 qt. Instant Pot and found it works well for a single person, but needes a larger size for bigger items. Directions for user manual could be better, but the IP is a great item once I figured out how to use it. There are a lot of good recipes available online. The 6qt. is easier to get parts for than the 3qt. I already owned.

We purchased two of these for Christmas gifts after using and enjoying our own. This is easy to operate and the culinary results are amazing. As there were not two available in store on our shopping day, the staff assisted us by ordering them in-store and having them delivered to our home. Win-Win!

Purchased a new instant pot pressure cooker during cyber week. Great price with all the funcitons necessary to try out a new way of cooking. Results are great, you've got to try this particular pressure cooker. 6 qrts and 7 functions are plenty . Highly recommed

Purchased this as a gift for my wife. She love how easy use and clean up. The size is just perfect for the two of us.

This small appliance is a game changer. I use it multiple times a week for dinners for my large family. I have also used it to make large batches of apple butter, refried beans, and even yogurt! Two thumbs up!!

I purchased my Instant pot Pressure Cooker about a week ago! I’ve been wanting one so bad since this is the New thing everyone is talking about. You get food done so fast and it’s really not that hard to use. Once you do the water test it really helps you get an ease for the pressure cooker. I made my 1st meal in it. Posole I made it in about 35 mins! Absolutely Love!

Great product. Easy to use and clean. Recommended highly.

I bought the Instant Pot thinking I might use it once in a while to make a soup or stew, but the reality is that I have yet to "put it away". It is SO convenient to throw everything into the pot, hit the button and walk away! I have made several soups, a stew, black beans and rice, used it to cook rice and oatmeal (no stirring at the stove!) and more. Just now I loaded some steel cut oatmeal and water and came back in a half hour to wonderful oatmeal. With the plethora of blogs and videos on Instant Pot, I can find out how to cook many more things than I imagined. I just love it.

I am from New Orleans, and my mom was a chef. We had two kitchens in our house--one was commercial. Learning from the pro, I cook a lot, and have a following of people with their favorite dishes. The one meal that I could not cook to perfection was a pot roast. This one did it, in about an hour and 1/2. Fork tender and SUPER tasty. Other recipes have also turned out Great. I highly recommend it

I waited until this was a great price but I should’ve gotten t a long time ago. So easy to use and works like a dream. It’s fast and efficient and there are a ton of great recipes for all your favorite things. This just cuts the time to make something (and less messy) in half or more! Buttons are easy to use and it’s safe. The steam coming out can be handled with ease and a towel. Cleanup is nothing compared to a slow cooker that gets crusty from hours of sitting around. Eggs in minutes. Love it!
