6-Quart Whisper Quiet 9-in-1 Electric Pressure Cooker, Slow Rice Steamer, Sauté, Yogurt Maker, Warmer & Sterilizer, Free App with 800+ Recipes, Stainless Steel

this instant pot was revered as one of the best and after using it a few times i can see why! upon first receiving it, this thing was definitely waay bigger than i thought it would be. it takes up a lotttt of counter space! and i have a small kitchen.. but it keeps me from having to buy a huge pot so it’s a nonnegotiable and essential item to batch cook meals for later. one of my favorite features is the whisper quiet function cuz if you’ve had any instant pots in the past, it gets noisy! i love how user friendly it is and how it lets you know when it’s preheating, cooking, and warming. my meals finish so quickly and thoroughly. this thing is amazing and i love love lovvve it! i will say that i did have a little trouble in the beginning when i was first trying to use it. when i selected “pressure cook” and i selected an option (ex: beans) it never finished preheating and i wasted many hours thinking it was cooking when it wasn’t 🥲 needless to say, i had a really late dinner that night lol. ended up figuring that i just needed to select custom when pressure cooking and manually set the time and pressure. this could also just be a user error though (don’t come for me, i did not read the user manual okkk 😆) the only thing i genuinely have a complaint about is the color of the start button. it’s a darker green which blends in so makes it easy to miss. other than that, this is honestly such great value for money, as well as safe and easy to use once you figure it out.

Was recommended by a friend to get this. Most important thing is remembering how many minutes each food type needs. The new dial with “preset times” per food type helps avoid that and is less confusing than the model with too many buttons. You really don’t need all the bells and whistles if you have a recipe book nearby that tells you times; but for the same reason I love my Maverick ProTemp instant thermometer, they both have readings right on the appliance itself. Haven’t figured out how to cook polenta without scalding the bottom, but also haven’t figured out how to make it so tasty any other method! Pressure release is very quiet compared to my friends older non-”whisper quiet” version. 6qt is perfect for me (feeds no more than 4-5 adults), and is easy to find a place to store it as well. Seems fairly sturdy where it counts like the stainless steel insert. The insert is rather tall though. It takes more time to sear meat since there is effectively an 8” chimney for which the steam must travel to evaporate (vs 2” tall sauté pan that breathes easily). Overall a good inexpensive buy. Soft boiled eggs are quick and amazingly great (thanks to the dial to remind me they need to be low pressure). This beats the socks off my high quality German manual pressure cooker (thanks for the recommendation and the memories Alton. It’s still the fastest boiling pot in the west!), where I had to babysit and adjust temperature throughout the duration of the cook for every new recipe.

The Instant Pot Duo Plus is a blast. Cook food much faster and with delicious results. It is very easy to use thanks to its digital display and clear functions. I love the variety of options—it can work as a pressure cooker, slow cooker, steamer, and more—all in one appliance. Plus, it's easy to clean and saves time in the kitchen. Perfect for preparing complete meals in a short time. It definitely deserves the 5 stars!

It works great, cook all meals quickly and quietly.

I purchased this large instant pot because we like to make bone broth and others students and soups and so I bought the biggest one I could find. Thinking that instant pot would be easy to use was a huge mistake. I cannot get past the installing the lid to perform a test run. This is a poorly designed system. You need to fiddle with this large red O-ring and get it to into the lid somehow I've done this about 15 times now and I'm able to get it in there so that when you turn the lid upside down the rings stays, but I can't get the lid to seal on the pot. The lid is impossible to push down by myself to lock and then trying to turn with a rubber, O-ring is not working at all. I think this is a huge design flaw, and this is not easy to use. I should just be able to open and close and not have to fiddle with this O-ring. I can't even get beyond the Test. I called the product support line. The one 800 customer service number listed here and they want me to send email photos of the product when it's brand new out of the box and there's no one that could talk me through tips and tricks of getting the top on. The customer support person hung up on me after putting me on hold and never call me back. They probably have too many complaints on this product. I would give this zero stars andreturn it if I could, but I think it's past the window so I guess this is going to be a donation because who has time to fiddle with this thing I've already spent hours trying to just steam water on the test. It's impossible. I am very experienced at using scientific instruments as a chemist, working in a lab and I figured an Instant pot in your kitchen should be something that ANYONE can do and I don't see how people are using this if I can't get it to work unless there's something defective with my unit.
