Customers are impressed with the Duo Nova 8-Quart 7-in-1 Multi-Cooker's ease of use, citing its simple programming and intuitive operation. However, some customers noted that cooking times may be longer than expected, and the appliance's size might be unsuitable for smaller households. A few found the size to be a bit large for their needs. Overall, the positive feedback on ease of use outweighs the concerns about cooking time and size.

This product is fantastic. I have had it for over three years now and it works just as if I first bought it. I use it to pressure cook my vegetables. I recommend to everyone.

It’s an amazing size instapot for cooking for 6-8 persons (if guests arrive). We tried making rice and meat pulao for the first time and it calms out really well and it cooks rice very well. Everyone loved the food.

I love the size of this product. It is much better than 6QT.
It is amazing quality and love ergonomics. The process of cooking is longer than what is promoted but I still like it.

So far I love it. Have made soup, stew, yogurt and every time an impeccable performance, no noise (especially compared to a regular pressure cooker). A breeze to clean too!

Asked around about the best size to buy. This one is just right! Stores are now selling Instant Pot meal kits and we've made a few and they come out great!

It is an excellent pressure cooker. It works great. The quick starter guide which came with it was okay. But I needed a but more info in order to figure out how to cook meat in it.. However, it was easy to find its manual online.
The pre- setting bottins worked great.
I initially used a steam diverter (which I had bought from Amazon) when releasing the steam. But, after a few times I realized I don't need the diverter. Because all I h ad to do is to let the cooker sit on warm for 10 min. to let the steam dissipate naturally.

It is perfect for occasion. I love how easy it is to use.
The only thing is that when it burn it didn't give you an alarm. Luckily my mom saw the "burn" message. Be sure with the amount of liquid in your recipe (my recipe was wrong). All in all it's a great buy.

I was merely a hopeful skeptic when I received my Instant Pot as a gift. I thought that I would have little use for another appliance that would consume even more of my dwindling counter space. Well I was proven wrong. My Instant Pot is amazing and has earned a prominent position among the most used cooking tools. I have used it 5 times in the last week and continue to discover not only new dishes, but improved methods for making my go to favorites.

This item was shipped and received very fast. I highly recommend this instant pot. I had never owned an IP before, so I really didn't know what to expect. Everything I've cooked in it has turned out delicious. I have had many compliments on my roasts in a crock pot; however, in my IP, it was outstanding. All the flavors were kept in. I also cooked potatoes with the roast using parchment paper to wrap them in....turned out perfect.

Used several times... Happy so far! Had the 6 qrt IP “Duo” before (it died), this updated model, the 8 qt Duo NOVA, doesn’t take up that much more space... the re-designed “Fast Release” button it now has IS a safer system (but unfortunately makes medium speed pressure bleed-off more difficult) & the “auto seal when closing” are nice improvements, & the only significant changes over the older Duo model... All good!
