Many appreciate its generous size, perfect for larger families or batch cooking, and the improved cooking results. However, some users mention challenges with the lid design and steam release mechanism. The wider pot is praised for its ability to accommodate larger cuts of meat and allows for better browning.

This Insta-Pot cooker and Presser Cooker works just as the description suggests. We have been looking and researching for a while to find an electric pressure cooker, so when we saw this one we knew we had to purchase it! Works Great!

Used for 2 months and has already started having issues. It wont release the steam, or if it does, it wont let me remove the lid. Ruined so much food trying to get this to work. I should have got the original. That one lasted me a few years with zero problems...

Exultant product .. this pot is as expected, I like the width and the shorter pot makes cooking a 5 pound chicken easier

Leaks steam continuously, doesn't start cooking

My IP Rio Wide Plus doesn't come to full pressure and start cooking. I've tested cooking beans in water four times, each time with different amounts. (Never over the 1/2 mark.) After waiting up to an hour I'd turn off the machine and looked inside. More than half the water was gone.
The first time this happened I got the constant message "Turn to Lock Lid". I tried to open/close the lid many times but the message would not go away until I unplugged the machine and let it sit over night. Then, I started my tests. Never got the same message again but the escaping steam problem persisted.
I see that this is a common problem.

Total Disappointment – Constant Issues and No Supp

This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
I’ve had nothing but issues with this model from the start. It constantly gets stuck on preheat and won’t cook. I’m always messing with the float valve just to get it to work—something I never had to do with my old, basic Instant Pot. This is supposed to be an upgrade, but it’s been nothing but a downgrade and a waste of time. It’s not even a year old and already drives me nuts every time I use it. I’ve reached out to Instant Pot multiple times and have been completely ignored. I’m leaving this feedback because I’m fed up and frustrated—and honestly, people should know what they’re getting into.

This was so disappointing. I never could get the seal to fit . The instructions didn't clearly show how to do it. I called support but they wouldn't help. All I had to be able to use was the slow cooker without the seal. Just a 200.00 crock pot. Would have been great if it would have worked the way it was intended. I threw it in the trash and bought a $30 crock pot from some where else.

Stopped working after 3rd use. Steam started coming off from the sides and it would not bring to boil.

You can make a good meal with this but plan on at least an hour for the pressure cooker to preheat.
