Handled inner pot and better sauté than older models; a good number report units stuck in preheat.

Flat inner pot bottom stops oil from pooling, and silicone handles keep it from spinning while stirring. Pressure cooking runs cleanly, but slow cook mode doesn't hold steady heat and swings from 150°F to 205°F.
Most owners who upgraded like the handled inner pot, the better sauté and the extra settings, and find it easy to use. Reliability is the main concern, with a good number of reports of units stuck in preheat, not reaching pressure or failing after a year or two. Slow cook and sous vide get mixed reports.

The praise reviewers mention most: easy to use (16 reviews), solid build (5 reviews) and fast (3 reviews). For example: Doesn't consider the Pro a splurge, liking its liner handles, flat bottom and multiple sauté settings.
The complaints reviewers mention most: broke down (13 reviews) and uneven cooking (1 review). For example: The steam release attachment on their Pro cracked and rusted, and support refuses to sell a replacement part.
It's how well reviewed Instant Pot Pro is, out of 100. Negative and mixed reviews take points off, and so does having only a few reviews: a appliance needs plenty of them, compared with the most-reviewed appliances here, to reach the high 80s and 90s. It's worked out from reviews only, needs at least 5 of them, and updates as new ones come in.
