Got the Duo Crisp with Ultimate Lid as a wedding gift and says it's an important utensil, air frying burgers, kebabs and more.

positive

Their new Duo Crisp with Ultimate Lid got stuck, not releasing pressure with the 'do not open' message active.

Has the IP Duo Crisp 6.5 and loves how easy it is to clean.

positiveeasy to clean

Got a used Duo Crisp Ultimate at a great price and finds it fast and convenient, even for whole chicken.

positive

Their Duo Crisp Ultimate Lid gets stuck a lot and its hinged lid takes up a lot of space under cabinets.

negativebulky

Had both the Ultimate Lid and the classic Duo Crisp and says the Ultimate Lid is not worth it: it gets stuck often and is harder to wash.

negativehard to clean

The pressure-cook cover on their 6.5-qt Duo Crisp with Ultimate Lid is stuck out of alignment, so the lid won't close or come off.

negative

On only the second use, the lid of their new Duo Crisp Ultimate Lid with WiFi stuck shut with a whole chicken inside for over 12 hours.

negative

Used the sous vide on their Duo Crisp with Ultimate Lid for the best steak they've made, and the built-in air fryer works well.

positive

The black plastic tab holding the pressure lid on their Ultimate Lid model broke after a few uses, and Instant wouldn't honor the warranty or sell parts.

negativebroke down

Their Duo Crisp with Ultimate Lid Connected (SLCO65002) won't come to pressure because the lower part of the lid won't latch and something is loose.

negative

Replaced their dead Ninja OL701 with the Instant Pot Duo Crisp Ultimate Lid with Wi-Fi and isn't sold on it: the air fry accessory seems janky and they miss the Ninja.

negative

Loves their Duo Crisp with Ultimate Lid, though its seals aren't easy to replace and need a whole new pressure insert, which is often out of stock.

positive

Really likes how the lid locks on their Duo Crisp Ultimate; it and the steam valve feel more secure and thought out.

positive

Warns that the pressure insert lid on the Ultimate Lid Duo can't be bought in the US and its tab on the back is relatively fragile plastic.

mixed

Their Duo Crisp with Ultimate Lid gets more use than anything else in their kitchen, mostly slow cook and air fry, once they learned its quirks.

positive

Their Duo Crisp Ultimate Lid clicks and sticks when sliding to unlock, so it rarely opens without a fight after cooking.

negative

Their Duo Crisp Ultimate Lid 6.5 L won't seal on pressure cook despite cleaning everything, and they tell people not to buy an Instant Pot with the Ultimate Lid.

negative

Grime has baked onto their Ultimate Lid so badly that degreaser and scrubbing can't remove it, and they can't disassemble it to deep clean.
