Recently bought the Duo and likes it a lot. They plan to add a smaller Instant Pot for veggies or beans so the Duo has room for larger cuts of meat.

Their Pro Plus will not release pressure after cooking unless the black weight is pulled off, and they suspect a defective lid.

We are two people so I mostly do beans, chili and the odd pot roast, and it handles all of it without fuss. The steam release is loud and the sealing ring holds onto the smell of whatever you cooked last, so I keep a second ring for sweet stuff. Saute mode is weak for browning, I still sear in a pan first.

Dead after 5 months, just a blank screen and no power.

Bought in July 2025 and genuinely loves the wide cooking pot, but about 15 months in the Sauté and Yogurt buttons stopped responding entirely while pressure cooking and everything else still works. Instant Pot support asked for a video and receipt and had not replied after a week.

Uses the Combi all the time for mathri, pakoras, rice and quinoa, calling it a very good, versatile and fast air fryer.

Their Pro Plus with WiFi, bought last week, keeps giving a food burn error despite a clean pot and a good water test.

Loves the Combi for air frying meat and veggies, rice, and small-batch baking including carrot cakes with steam.

Loves the Combi but finds its beeping incredibly loud and annoying.

Got the Duo Plus and it has been more than enough; most people only use pressure cook, sauté and slow cook.

Owns the 8 qt Pro Crisp and finds it large; the air fryer function works well and doubles as a small oven, though heat is very uneven, and few dishes really combine pressure cooking with air frying.

Household of two chose the 8 qt Pro and even make cheesecake in it.

Got the 4 qt Rio, loves it and gave their 3 qt to their granddaughter.

Reddit · r/instantpot · 32 days ago

Finds the Rio Mini 4 qt the sweet spot: it has the 6 qt's diameter but is shorter, so sautéing is effective and fast and the 6 qt ring and glass lid fit; the downside is finding shallow pans for pot-in-pot.

Cooks for one in the original 6 qt Duo and recommends that size over the 3 qt; they regularly cook small amounts like half a pound of potatoes in it.

Their Instant Pot Rio stopped cooking: the display works but sticks at 00:40 and the pot never heats, even after a reset and a new power connector.

Their US Instant Pot Pro Plus, bought in May 2025, was good for about a year; then it began beeping when off, dropping off Wi-Fi, registering wrong touches and turning itself on.

Bought a Ninja HyperHeat on sale and used it for rotisserie chicken stock and consommé; it is very easy to clean and use and performed as they expected.

Has a Lux and a hand-me-down Duo; the Duo is newer with more features, but they hate it.

Reddit · r/instantpot · 37 days ago

Their older Duo has been wonderful for years without a problem until an odd 'OF' display appeared.

Right after the warranty ran out their Instant Pot Pro 8 stopped starting pressure cooking reliably: after sautéing it doesn't heat until they restart it two or three times, though the sealing ring is fine.

Upgraded from a Duo, which still works, to the Pro for its handles and yogurt and sous vide settings; it was fine for a year, then threw a C7 error and would not heat.

Bought an 8 qt Instant Pot Pro at a liquidator's auction for under $10 and finds it a fantastic machine despite its dents.

Just bought an Instant Pot Pro 5.7 L and couldn't get yoghurt to move from the pasteurising stage to fermentation, unlike on their old 3.8 L Instant Pot; they are thinking of returning it.
