Chose the 8qt Instant Pot Pro after six months says it builds pressure fairly quickly, does not leak steam, food does not stick, and the quick cool tray is great; cooks in it 3-5 times a week and it still looks new.

Has the 6 qt Pro and would never go back to manually opening the vent valve, since it vents automatically and notifies their phone; the inner pot handles make a huge difference.
Went from the cheapest 3 qt Instant Pot to the 6 qt Pro 10-in-1 and loves it: handled inner pot, release switch and clear progress display, so they use it much more.
Says their new 8qt Instant Pot Pro is doing everything they ask of it.
Has the 8qt Pro and routinely cooks 1 cup of rice (1.25 cups liquid, 3 minutes, 10 minute natural release) with no issue.
Has the Instant Pot Pro and says the handles on its inner pot are a quality-of-life difference, calling it a brilliant and trustworthy inner pot.
Got the Instant Pot Pro with zero regrets and uses the sous vide function regularly.
Doesn't consider the Pro a splurge, liking its liner handles, flat bottom and multiple sauté settings.
Chose the Pro for the pot with handles and has zero regrets: worth the extra money to not fiddle with a hot pot, otherwise it works the same.
Stepped up to the Pro solely for the liner handles and says it is 100% worth it for soups and stocks.
First dish in their new Instant Pot Pro was pork belly sautéed then pressure cooked for 30 minutes on high, and it turned out really well.
