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.

LOVE LOVE LOVE
Verified purchase Verified purchase: This reviewer bought the product.C. Ito October 4, 2025Review source: AmazonFirst of all, I’m in love with the color! I love everything pink. While it’s the only pink kitchen appliance I have and it being the odd one out, I didn’t really mind because it’s so cute!
Perfect size. It didn’t look “mini” to me. Bigger than I was expecting. First thing I cooked was rice. I actually love the fact that it has a stainless steel inner pot! I didn’t care that the rice kind of stuck to the bottom. I’ve transitioned to using steel ware in the kitchen. Rice out perfect.
Next I made was Shoyu Chicken. Recently I’ve been so lazy to cook, so I wanted to try the pressure cooker function. Just seared the chicken and threw the rest of the ingredients in there. 15 mins later, I had super moist and tender chicken dish. I guess that’s how regular pressure cookers really work. But this one is user friendly! I also love how easy it is to release the pressure without being scared to get scalded by the steam. Love the buttons, so easy to understand!
I’m now excited to cook once again. Looking forward to my next dish. Also, I got this for sale at $60 so great value!

Perfect Size Multi-Cooker for Smaller Meals
Ken K October 3, 2025Review source: AmazonThis has been a great addition to my kitchen. At 4 quarts, it’s smaller than a standard Instant Pot, but that makes it perfect for cooking for one or two people. I love the versatility—it pressure cooks, slow cooks, sautés, steams, makes rice, and keeps food warm, all with a stainless steel inner pot. The digital push-button panel is easy to read and operate, and the neutral white color blends nicely in any kitchen.

Love it
Verified purchase Verified purchase: This reviewer bought the product.Christi V October 3, 2025Review source: AmazonLove the size and the pink color. So, much easier to work with and clean than the larger version. The sauté function does run pretty hot so don’t take your eyes off it.
Did a pot roast almost the same size as the bottom of the pot in 75 min, on pressure cook setting. Took it out and set it aside to rest then put all the vegetables in the pot and pressure cooked for 30 min (could have done for less time) Probably could have done meat for 60 min and been fine. It’s nice and light and so much more convenient than trying to lug around the big one especially when there is only two of us now. It made more than enough for at least 4 people. So, unless you have a huge family or like tons of leftovers then this is great for 2-4 people easy.
The directions for pressure cooking say to use a minimum of 3 cups of liquid but I believe this would be incorrect as it would have filled the pot over 3/4 full when you add ingredients. From what information I could gather on the internet you should only need a minimum of 1 cup liquid. Which I think sounds more correct because I split the difference and added almost 2 cups and in the end after done cooking I had probably 4 cups of liquid when all cooked.
But overall very happy with the machine and it’s quick cooking time. It’s a great quality machine and was on sale so a steal of a deal. Definitely great value for the money

Love it!!
Verified purchase Verified purchase: This reviewer bought the product.Jessica October 2, 2025Review source: AmazonMy favorite appliance! I got this instead of a rice cooker and it’s been so useful. The perfect size for feeding 2. The wider base also allows for more searing space in sauté mode. The cord is a bit short but I purchased an appliance extension cord to remedy that. Love the white color too! Can for scale in photo.

One of the best kitchen purchases I’ve ever made.
Verified purchase Verified purchase: This reviewer bought the product.Jovie October 1, 2025Review source: AmazonThis Instant Pot Rio is easy to use and easier to clean. I was surprised at how quickly the sauté function heats up. To use the pressure cooker, it takes exactly 10 minutes to reach the proper pressure. I have literally created full meals in less than 25 minutes. Also, you can start with frozen food, I just put the little rack inside – added water and placed the chicken on top of the rack. I’ve used “Rio” almost everyday since I purchased it. Love it.
