Instant Pot

Identical pressure mechanism to the current Duo means every beginner recipe and tutorial still applies directly

  • 7-in-1 functions including pressure cook, slow cook, and sauté
  • 14 smart programs
  • Same lid and sealing mechanism as the current Duo
  • Keep-warm cycle up to 10 hours

Pros

  • Identical pressure mechanism to the current Duo means every beginner recipe and tutorial still applies directly
  • 122,000 ratings give beginners the same volume of troubleshooting content as the flagship model

Cons

  • Being an older, discontinued model means stock and availability are inconsistent
  • No indicator ring or extra visual feedback, beginners rely purely on the float valve and sound cues
  • Sealing ring wears out around 12 to 18 months and isn't always easy to source for this specific older SKU
  • Fewer functions than the Duo Plus if a beginner wants to grow into sous vide or sterilize later
