Replaced an 8 qt Duo Nova with the Rio Wide and loves it: quiet, with a wider pot for sautéing.

positivequiet

Just got the Rio Wide and loves its shape: bigger, shallower surface for sautéing, and it makes great yogurt.

positive

Started with a 6 qt and added the 7.5 qt Rio Wide, whose shallower, wider pot is easier for a short person to sauté and stir in.

positive

Their 7.5 qt Rio is great for sautéing and meal prep soups and fits three pint jars for yogurt.

positive

Their Rio Wide's lid sensor broke in under six months, though its extra surface area helped browning and even braising.

negativebroke down

Got the Instant Pot Rio Wide 7.5 qt for their birthday and loves it as exactly what they wanted, but replacement sealing rings are nearly impossible to find.

mixed

Has the same Rio Wide and loves it better than the deeper ones, using it all the time, even for a frozen 3 lb chuck roast.

positive

Cooks for two but batch-cooks and freezes, and their Rio Wide 7.5 qt handles soup, chili, sauce, pulled pork, birria and cheesecake; they recommend the larger size if you have the counter space.

positive

Upgraded from a 13-year-old 6 qt to the 7.5 qt Rio Wide; it seems to work but steam escapes around the lid, which never happened with their old one.

mixed

Loves their 7.5 quart Rio Wide but warns it takes a lot of counter space.
