Title: I love this product
Review: The only thing I don’t really like is how big and heavy it is. And the lid doesn’t detach.But oh well. It’s awesome otherwise.

Title: Not Worth the $$
Review: To start..this kitchen gadget is way to heavy at nearly 25lbs I myself cannot lift it due to medical reasons. It is also very tall in height, having it on my counter i have to lean up and over it to see inside. My slow cooker of 24yrs became a creacked-pot so I thought I would invest in something with multiple gadgets in one. This InstaPot was the wrong choice. This takes about an hour to preheat on slow cooker, Yes an hour even after sautéing items before hand, so cold food in spots after "4hrs" of cooking on high. Cannot pause on this setting either it continues to beep at you even while on warm for serving. The air fryer is more like a broiler being only cooking the browning/cooking on just one side. The pot discolored after the first use. When cooking with lid closed the condensation pools around the rim and causes drips onto counter Be Careful. The inner portion of lid removes for some settings (air fryer for one) this is held in by a small PLASTIC tab seems flimsy at best. The locking mechanism is great for safety hence the 1 star but needs force to shut and causes me to strain when closing. This item is over priced, over weighted and over hyped. The app for recipes isn't anything you couldn't simply find online. Not pleased with instapot by any means but now stuck with it due to time frame for returns. Took time to unbox it and get it to the kitchen due to size and weight, then trying different functions.

Title: Good quality, but
Review: This was my first Instant Pot. It took forever to heat up -- at least 20 minutes. Sautéing worked really well, but almost no code to the control panel. Final dish cooked quickly, but was overdone.This is too much work for a single, older person.

Title: Versatile but takes time to learn
Review: If you’ve never used a pressure cooker before, there’s a learning curve and I’d recommend getting a general book on it (I’m still searching for a good one). The main reason I bought it is because New York City is supposedly phasing out gas for reasons of safety (think exploding buildings) and indoor air quality (get an indoor air quality meter off Amazon, fire up your gas range and you’ll be alarmed). This device has a single hinged lid that integrates an airfryer/broiler/roaster element and (removeable) pressure cooker lid. This, it can theoretically replace everything including your oven, stove top, microwave, and toaster because it’s all those things. Obviously, if you want to make a whole big sheet of cookies, then this doesn’t have room for that, but yes, you can technically bake a handful of cookies. It’s best for making anything soupy or stewy, and is surprisingly good at making a kind of “steamed” cake. A handful of YouTube and Reddit reviews report not being able to open the lid for hours - ok there are some tricks:1. Unlike most pressure cookers with the controls on the outside, this is a hands-free “self sealing and releasing” mechanism that’s all internal. The way it works is the internal valve is in a dropped position at the outset; as the pressure builds it forces the valve upwards to seal the pot (ie close the vent) and start cooking. When cooking is done and pressure is released the valve drops down again, opening the vent which causes the pot to display “ok to open lid.” Now, because of condensation, the valve may stay stuck in the upward position. So you just whack it with your hand which causes it to drop. Then you should get the “open lid” message. It’s a bit of a kluge but there you go. 2. When in doubt, put less cooking time. This thing will turn anything to mush otherwise. It’s amazing how you can dump frozen chicken thighs or frozen fish in there, hit 2 to 4 minutes and the stuff actually comes out cooked. In fact, to reheat soup you put zero mins cook time and the mere act of the pressure building up is enough to heat it up. Amazing. 3. When in doubt, make sure you put enough water in there when pressure cooking. The rule of thumb seems 1-2 cups. If it’s not enough, the thing throws up an error and you may have to start over.I was on the brink of returning it within the window after experiencing many of these issues, which I resolved with a lot of googling (always put “reddit” in front of any query and you’ll get an intelligent answer). Having taken the time to figger it out I’m pretty impressed, especially with the minimal cleanup. No oil spattered kitchen! Best of all, the monster fits in my 15-inch IKEA pot drawer so it’s not like the Death Star sitting on my counter.The only competing device is the top of the line Ninja which I understand comes with a slew of additional accessories, but I think the inner pot is either ceramic or enameled. I prefer the solid stainless steel pot of the Instant Pot.Finally, the earlier models with the completely removal lid also have removable sealing rings and some people reserve one for curries and another for cakes. The sealing ring here is permanently bolted on, and there are comments about it soaking up smell of curry, which will mess up your cake. I’ve not had an issue with this and believe life’s too short to worry about it.In sum, recommended but there’s a learning curve.

Title: New Gasket Design/Customer Service
Review: I like the ease of switching from pressure cooking to air-frying. The unit, although large and heavy, is space saving because it's one piece. That said, I have two problems with the overall design. First, the gasket on the pressure cooker lid is not removable; therefore, it retains the odor from its previous cook. With my older pot, I could take the gasket out to clean it or replace it. The odor does not transfer a taste to the food, but it's unsettling to smell the last thing one cooked when using the device again. The second problem is the little plastic tab used to secure the pressure cooking lid to the air-fryer lid. I dropped the lid and the piece of plastic broke off rendering the pressure cooker unusable.I called customer service because I had registered my warranty and they were marvelous. They are sending me a new pressure cooking lid. They asked me to write a review on their site, but I couldn't find a spot to do so, so I am writing a review here. I made it clear to Instant Pot that there is a design flaw in the new product that needs to be addressed.I have used an Instant Pot for at least 5 years and will continue to do so. I love this product.

Review: Je le trouvais formidable mais pour mon besoin, il était trop petit, je ne pouvais pas mettre des pots Mason de 1 litre car pas suffisamment haut. Je l'ai retourné et j'ai pris un modèle plus grand, le Pro. Je l'aime vraiment beaucoup.

Review: First time trying an Instant Pot and quickly discovered something is faulty with it. Trying to use the pressure cook feature the first time with rice the cycle stayed stuck on preheat while steam poured out the top . Than had C7 error. Contacted customer service to which they wanted video proof of what it was doing and had me do a test on it. The video clearly shows it is not working correctly but no one has responded to me since I sent the videos in which was last week. I have sent another inquiry but have heard nothing back. I was so excited to finally have my first instant pot only to be very disappointed.
