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.

    LOVE this slightly smaller, wider version than the original one that I had! It’s perfect when cooking for 2 to 4 people. It makes the absolute most perfect brown rice. I like the simplicity of the buttons compared to the original larger version. The quality is excellent. I highly recommend it!!

  5. Perfect for cooking !

    I needed something bigger than 3 qt and this was launched at perfect time. Things cook faster in this compared to my regular pressure cooker. The only thing is the wider base makes curries splatter around at high temp and there is no separate lid to use with base while saute’ing or storage. But all in all works great.

    Instructions for use are poor and it is very slow, takes a long time to heat up sufficiently to cook anything…

    This is a lot more useful than I thought.
    I use it mostly as a rice cooker and crock pot.
    But I’ve tried some pressure cooking as well. It’s like a microwave in a way because the food cooks so dang fast. I guess the heat is a lot higher under pressure.
    It comes well packaged with a lot of warning labels that I removed. It’s black and mostly plastic on the outside which is fine, I think it will be durable enough. The instructions are unusually clear and the operation is much easier than I thought, it’s even intuitive! That’s unusal these days.
    There is no recipie book but the internet is stuffed with them. I kind of want to try brisket and other things like that. I think it’s a useful appliance and does a lot of work for the money.

    This is the perfect size. The only draw back is that it does not slow cook.

    Fantastic Instant Pot. Perfect size for 2 to 3 portions. Only con is no accessories made for it yet. Even emailed IP & said they are working on them. Bought one for my daughter also who loves the size now that her kids left for college.

  10. This little “big pot” will change your life.

    Most amazing little pot. Holds more than you think. Has an amazing brain one button cook, just choose your cooking speed, slow cook sauté, rice or yogurt. No guessing on times. Most foods I’ve cooked cooks in under 10 minutes once it reaches pressure. Food tastes great and it’s easy cleanup every time.
