Loves their Duo Crisp, with separate pressure and air fryer lids that both come off easily, though it is their only Instant Pot.
Their Instant Pot Duo with separate pressure and air fry lids, plus an extra pot, makes family dinner easy enough that their teens use it too.
Loves their Duo Crisp and uses it basically every day, avoiding the oven.
Adores their Duo Crisp and uses it almost every day, especially in winter.
Cooks rice in the Duo Crisp steel inner pot following pressure cook recipes and gets fantastic rice that does not stick.
Has a Duo Crisp with the two separate lids and loves it.
Notes the Duo Crisp has no handle to shake and the inner pot is too hot to grab, so tongs are the practical way to flip air fryer food.
Couple in a small apartment use the Duo Crisp at least twice a week for soups, chicken and roasted pork belly in the air fryer, and highly recommend it.
Bought a 6 qt Duo Crisp then an 8 qt, and uses the air fryer lid almost as much as the pressure cooker lid, retiring several other appliances.
Has no standalone air fryer and says the Duo Crisp lid works great for wings, fries, onion rings and veggies, used roughly weekly.
Loves the Duo Crisp; small as an air fryer but enough for a meal for two, and fine as a pressure cooker, though likely not as good as a dedicated air fryer.
Upgraded from an Instant Pot Lux to the 8 qt Duo Crisp and prefers it over the Duo Evo Plus because of air fryer and ceramic pot compatibility.
Mostly cooks for themselves with the Duo Crisp and loves it, using the air fryer function a lot and freezing leftovers.
Likes their air fryer Duo: makes great wings and rice, easy to find recipes, and saves kitchen space.
Deliberately chose the 8 quart Duo Crisp as a single person and uses it a lot; the air fryer lets them bake biscuits, cookies and cakes in summer.
Loves their 8qt Duo Crisp with air fryer: easy to make small meals and they like having a 2-in-1 on limited counter space.
First use of the Duo Crisp was phenomenal apart from one small hiccup with the air fryer beep not prompting a mid-cook flip.
Has the Duo Crisp 5.7 and loves it, finding size has not been a problem.
Cooked a 1.7kg top rump roast in their 8L Duo Crisp air fryer and the seasoned beef was delicious.
Cooked a 5 lb whole chicken in the 6 qt Duo Crisp, pressure cooking it and finding it super moist with minimal effort.
Bought the 6 quart Duo Crisp after an off-brand one felt wrong, and so far likes it for simple button-push cooking.
The air fryer lid on a new Duo Crisp would not push down after half an hour of wrestling, so they gave up on dinner.
Loves their Duo Crisp, first Instant Pot ever, and recommends it since it avoids needing two separate appliances.
