Highlights

7-in-1 Versatile Cooking This multi-cooker replaces seven kitchen appliances by offering functions for pressure cooking, slow cooking, sautéing, steaming, rice cooking, yogurt making, and food warming.
Compact "Mini and Mighty" Design The 4-quart capacity is ideal for small families, singles, or students, featuring a space-saving footprint that still provides the same cooking surface as an 8-inch pan.
Real-Time Progress Indicator An intuitive display features a progress bar that allows you to monitor the cooking status at a glance, from preheating to the final countdown.
Anti-Spin Inner Pot The inner pot is designed with a specialized anti-spin feature that keeps it steady and secure during stirring and sautéing, preventing it from rotating inside the base.
Advanced Safety Features Includes over 10 proven safety mechanisms, such as overheat protection and an auto-sealing locking lid, ensuring a secure and worry-free cooking experience.

Pros & Cons

Pros

  • Ideal Compact Size: The 4-quart capacity is perfect for individuals, couples, or small families, fitting easily on countertops and in cabinets without sacrificing cooking power.
  • Enhanced Safety and Stability: Users appreciate the redesigned steam release switch located away from the vent and the anti-spin pot design that keeps the liner stable while stirring.
  • Versatile Performance: This appliance effectively replaces multiple kitchen tools by functioning as a fast pressure cooker, a reliable slow cooker, and an efficient rice maker.

Cons

  • Lack of Documentation and Accessories: Many reviewers noted the absence of a physical instruction manual or recipe book, and expressed frustration that replacement liners and specific accessories are currently hard to find.
  • Fixed Power Cord: Unlike some other models, the power cord is permanently attached, which several users found less convenient for storage and cleaning.
  • Pot Maintenance Issues: Some customers reported that the stainless steel inner pot stains easily, develops hard water spots, or experiences food sticking, particularly when cooking rice or oatmeal.

    Time to cook beans dropped from two hours to 30 minutes, still perfecting how much water I’m using but so far so good. Makes excellent stewed beef in about an hour

  2. Works great

    Works great for my needs. I will say that since it is not quite as powerful as the larger one, it takes a bit longer to heat up.

    This is like my 7th instant pot. No lie. And I still have all the others 🤭 don’t judge, I just collect them and switch them around from time to time when I miss a feature from a different one. This one is super unique. Unlike the predecessors, the inner pot does not move when mixing and it has a steam release switch that’s on the opposite side of where the steam comes out.
    It’s also BEAUTIFUL. I got the pink and it’s so nice and muted. The matte look is super sleek and brightens my kitchen.
    The buttons are very simple. I like how it isn’t overly complicated or too simplified to the point of being antiquated (like the much older models that still work great btw!).
    I’d say my only complaint is that from the side, the appearance isn’t too cute because of the hump caused by the button area. Not a deal breaker at all.
    This model is also heavier than any of my past instant pots (3qt and 6qt) either that or I’ve got weaker lol. Not a big difference though.
    Overall, I’m in love and this will match perfectly with all my pastel pink kitchen gadgets.
    See my video for unboxing (under the videos section)

  5. The pink one so cute!

    This is actually my second time buying this appliance, and I’m so happy! I loved my first one, but it was just too big for my needs. I decided to buy it again in this smaller size, and it’s perfect. The pink color is beautiful and looks great on my counter. This size is ideal for making dinner for two people. It has all the same great features as the larger model. Honestly, the only thing that’s a little fussy is setting the timer—it takes a few extra seconds. But everything else is absolutely perfect. I love it!

  7. Great for small spaces

    I was so excited to get this; I’ve been wanting an Instant Pot for so long. It’s the perfect size for my small kitchen and for preparing meals for my daughter and I. It’s so easy to use and easy to clean. It’s super heavy duty and made very well; I think it’ll last quite a while if handled correctly. I can’t wait to try so many new recipes!

  8. 10/10 get you one of these!

    It’s made of plastic and I expected it to feel a little flimsy or cheap… but it feels like it’s great quality. The pink color is like a nice pink. I got it 4 days ago and I’ve made pho, birria, beans, stew, and even steamed sweet potatoes… and it’s truly been wonderful. I absolutely love it. I’d never owned a pressure cooker prior to this one (I’ve been afraid) but it’s been a great experience so far. Love love it! 10/10… (it’s good for a small family… smaller portions.. or 1-2 people)

  9. Compact version of the larger one, great for small spaces!

    This was a gift for my sister’s birthday and we did a hot water test on it while she was still at my house. IT’S SO CUTE. It’s a great size for one to three people and storage is really easy with the size.

    This version came to temp quickly and the progress bar on the display is really nice. We were really excited to try all the different functions. I have to say that the saute setting works so well and it really keeps the dishes down.

    So far she’s saved so much money using this instead of buying prepared food or going out all the time. She’s always been afraid to make meat but this way she’s able to make sure that it’s done, tender instead of shoe leather, and delicious! All in all, she loves it as much as I love mine. I would always buy these, they are a great bang for your buck and a time saver to boot.
