Pros & Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

The rio wide works well, has a good user interface, and has what appears to be safer steam release than any other mechanism i've seen. There is no simmer mode but several other modes work fine for doing so.

The 3 qt pressure cooker is great for a rice cooker or very small batches of food. Made a delicious stew in 30 mins. The pot roast recipe is a simple winner.



Cons

The instant pot ultra 60 ultra 6qt cooker is out of warranty. Its heating element is woefully weak. The pressure sensors will die 2-4 years after warranty expiration. It is impossible to cook anything without a constant burn alert.

Apparently, these units are made with cheap parts and shoddy manufacturing. Amazon also just reships customer returns. Please check the returned product and the reason for return before shipping out to customers. Don't purchase the asurian insurance w...  Read More

Highlights

Quality


Love the size and the wide pot easy to clean and not that heavy


Love the ease of the directions and the prompts on the device itself to ensure ease of use for success


I turn off as soon as comes to full sim about 10ish minutes then turn off release pressure open stir let sit for 10ish minutes covered


While doing a test it initially stayed in “preheating” mode which release steam and the cooking never started

Price


Every slow cooker steamer i checked out was double triple the price of what i’d previously paid in the past

Packaging/appearance


Sending it in its original box without hiding what was in it was a big letdown as a surprise christmas gift


So i thought outside the box saw my insta pot on sale and realized it had slow cooker steamer plus a whole lot of other cook choices

Competitiveness


Compared to the regular 8quart model it is so much easier to brown large batches of meat for things like chili


We have another instant pot an older version smaller

    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    When i first got it it burned up the water and couldnt seal the steam but the pot was smart enough that it automatically shut it down when it deteced there is no more water in the pot


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I was gona return it until i found there is a little plastic tab hidden inside the pressure valve housing that says u need to remove it before first use lol


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    That tiny plastic tab was preventing the value to be fully closed


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    When you turn the dial to adjust time or temperature or whatever the values routinely jump around randomly making it difficult and frustrating to set correctly


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Many other nice ultra features not available on other ips


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    When i saw the rio with its wide shallow base i knew i didnt need it but i also knew it would be super convenient
