Pros
- The indicator ring changing color between pressure-building and active cooking removes the biggest source of first-timer confusion, 'is it doing anything right now?'
- Same simple 3-step operation as the base Duo, so the extra functions don't complicate the core beginner workflow
- Altitude adjustment is a genuine help for beginners at elevation who would otherwise get undercooked results and not know why
- 38,000 ratings at 4.7 stars confirm the added electronics haven't introduced new reliability issues
Cons
- More functions on the display can feel more intimidating to navigate at first than the Duo's simpler dial
- Sous vide mode requires separate bags and a clip not included in the box
- Same loud steam release as every other Duo model
