Item came in a box that was badly damaged resulting in the item being scratched in a few places. I don't feel like this was damage caused by shipping but by the warehouse where it was stored. Item works as expected with damage from shipping. When I place the lid in the slots when I open it, then try to lift the lid from the side slots, it catches on the metal rim of the instant pot (not the insert). I'm afraid it's going to crack. It is now scratched on that part of the lid. I have to be careful when I lift it. The cap for the steam is meant to reduce noise and limit it's effects of steam shooting up. It is still noisy and the steam still raises and reaches the ceiling. It's smaller in size on the outside from my previous instant pot duo but same size on the inside. Despite all the scratches, I still think it's a solid device that should last me as long as the previous one.

This Instant Pot is a game changer, especially for a family. The 8-quart size is perfect for larger meals and leftovers. It’s easy to use, heats up quickly, and cooks food evenly. I love how versatile it is. I can make everything from soups to meats without spending all day in the kitchen. Cleanup is simple, and the build feels sturdy and well made. This has definitely made meal prep easier and faster, and I’m really glad I went with this size.

Very good product. Capicity is large enough to serve 6-8 persons comfortably.. the buttons are easy to use. Keep warm and other features are very handy..

The pressure cooker is working very well. It's such an easy way cook and we are excited to try out the many other functions on the cooker.

Works great and cuts cooking time down by a great amount. I would buy another.
