Customer Ratings & Reviews

Upgraded our old duo that we’ve had for a few years to this model and I’m so glad we did! LOVE the new self sealing lid, the steam diffuser, and the new controls. I love that it has the turn dial and the buttons. The new steam function with no pressure is awesome! And don’t get me started on the new stovetop sage inner pot with handles! Game changer.

It was hard to find this Instant Pot in stock anwywhere, but Best Buy had it (at the same price as Amazon, and with free delivery). For us, the extra cost for the Plus version of the Duo Evo Instant Pot was worth it for the handles alone. (It also has two sealing gaskets, an intuitive and readable control panel, a pressure-release switch that doesn't make you dance with death, and a flat-bottomed stainless pot inside that can be used on the stove top.) We've used the High and Low Pressure-Cooking settings and the slow cooker function, all to great effect. Made wonderful beef bone broth in about five hours; tonight, we're serving a caramel chocolate flan cooked under low pressure. Corned beef with vegetables was wonderful; so was beef stew, and pork tenderloin was pretty good, too. Looking forward to making refried beans next.

This is such a versatile kitchen appliance. So far, all of the settings have worked well. Successful recipes include: hard boiled eggs, cheesecake, yogurt, soups, steamed veggies, apple crisp and risotto.

This is my first Instant Pot and I wish I had purchased it sooner. It's easy to use, with simple instructions on how to use each mode. The saute feature comes in handy if you need to brown something before using any of the cooking methods, although it gets hot very quickly and can burn if you aren't careful. It's easy to clean and the size is perfect for cooking for 2-4 people. The one downside is the loud beeping that occurs when you turn it on or remove the lid. I wish there was a way to turn it off or turn it down. If you are prepping food late at night or early in the morning, it can wake the house up.

I was on the fence about buying an Instant Pot. But, after so many friends raving about it, I decided to give it a try. I am really glad I did. The Instant Pot is so easy to use for a non-cook like me! The food comes out great. I’ve made lamb, beef, pork, hard boiled eggs, game hens, ribs, vegetables and more in it. Hard boiled eggs come out so well, that the shells peel off perfectly. I’ve never been able to achieve this before. And, it’s consistent. I make a new batch of boiled eggs every few days, and always get the same great results. So far, I’ve used not only the pressure cooking feature, but also the slow cooker and sauté functions. All of them have yielded good results. The internet is full of recipes and tips, so even someone like me, who is not much of a cook, can do just fine with this. Clean up is easy, as well. Just soak after use, then easily clean the pot a bit later. The only issue I’ve run into seems to be an issue specific to this particular model (Duo Evo Plus). Sometimes, on the sauté function, I would get a C8 error. Supposedly, this error indicates use of an incorrect inner pot. That obviously wasn’t the case (I only own one Instant Pot). I looked around on the internet, and this seems to be a defect. It was easy enough to temporarily “fix” the issue by stopping and restarting. However, I seem to have a good work around by using a custom setting for the sauté function. I haven’t encountered the issue since. However, it does seem to be an issue that should be addressed by the manufacturer. Other than that, it’s been really good so far, and I even find myself enjoying cooking.

GREAT product. From Sous Vide option to anything else, I cannot cook without it. It has made the dinner an easy thing to deal with as it is extremely hands off. Cooks things that usually take hours in a matter of minutes.

love the design of the duo evo plus, the handles on the pot are amazing, no more struggling to get the hot pot out of the pressure cooker. saves so much time and definitely worth the upgrade

Wow! This all-in-one pot is terrific! Cooks quick, evenly, and I love the pot handles so your hands don't burn. Highly recommended.

This is a quality product. I like the way the recipes blend and the speed of cooking. The sauté function is problematic; it is very easy to burn some ingredients. Overall, this instant pot has some great features and is easy to use.

Works great, very versatile, plenty of capacity, and easy to use.

Packed very well. Used the day we purchased. Made a chuck roast with potato and carrots. Cooked wonderfully. Have been experimenting with different recipes. The unit is versatile. Next will attempt a cake. Though I did experience a problem where I had to unplug the unit to reset it. Sent a help ticket in thru website and it's been over five days - no news.

It is easy to use IF you read and follow directions. Don't read your recipes half way and think you think what you're doing. There is a learning curve but it's worth your time to get to know your machine. This makes food fast and chicken literally falls off the bone. Been using it daily since I got it.

I purchased this a gift. I have a family member who owns one and this is all he uses to cook with now. So many great options to cook in such a short cooking time. Food comes out perfect every time. Also easy to clean, very durable, and dependable I highly suggest it. A great value for the price.

Works just as advertised! This is our first instant pot so I can't compare it to the other models but it works just fine. It'll save you a lot of time cooking. We use the pressure cook setting the most for meat that's frozen to cooked in 20-30mins.

Oh my gosh! This thing is unbelievable! We’ve used is at least one meal a day since we opened it. YouTube is full of videos and Pinterest is full of ideas. The only drawback is the lack of accessories due to back orders. Don’t hesitate, buy one today!

Wonderful Item, best price in area, and love it. Used several times, does everything it says it does and very fast cooking time.

Works as advertised. Food cooks quickly and is very juicy, moist and tender. I wish I bought it many months ago. It took a bit of getting used to but once we figured out how to use it...we love it.

First pressure cooker I’ve owned. The only one I’ll ever need. Super easy to use and the food turnes out delicious. Love cooking bbq ribs in this thing.

I love my Instant Pot. It does what it is intended to do. I love it so much that my mother bought one also. One thing that bothered me was that on the best buy site it states that it comes with Steam rack, serving spoon, soup spoon, measuring cup. I received the steam rack but where is the rest? This bothered me so I took the Instant Pot back to Best Buy and asked for an exchange they did so and again just the steam rack came with the pot. I was disappointed. Otherwise it's great to have and a time saver.

When a friend first contacted me about the Instant Pot pressure cooker I was skeptical. But after using it for a few weeks, I really like it. It replaced my slow cooker and rice cooker, and now I can have meals from frozen meats to Mmm-mmm good in 30 minutes with very few preparation dishes to wash up.
