    Damaged package

    Item came in a box that was badly damaged resulting in the item being scratched in a few places. I don't feel like this was damage caused by shipping but by the warehouse where it was stored. Item works as expected with damage from shipping. When I place the lid in the slots when I open it, then try to lift the lid from the side slots, it catches on the metal rim of the instant pot (not the insert). I'm afraid it's going to crack. It is now scratched on that part of the lid. I have to be careful when I lift it. The cap for the steam is meant to reduce noise and limit it's effects of steam shooting up. It is still noisy and the steam still raises and reaches the ceiling. It's smaller in size on the outside from my previous instant pot duo but same size on the inside. Despite all the scratches, I still think it's a solid device that should last me as long as the previous one.

    Worst Buy

    I ordered a BRAND NEW Instant Pot Pro 8 Quart Electric Pressure Cooker (black) from Best Buy on 03/16/24. I performed the water test Saturday (04/06/24) for the 1st time. I didn't cook with it prior to that. It failed the water test and the 'Cancel' button didn't work. The 'Cancel' button would not shut the Instant Pot Pro off. I had to shut it off by removing the plug from the outlet. I also found a crack on the condensation rim. I'm very upset. I paid a lot of money for a new Instant Pot Pro. The Instant Pot Pro was shipped in a regular cardboard box. There was no manufacturer's packaging. I found out that Best Buy doesn't ship their products inside of cardboard boxes. Best Buy ships their products off the shelf in the manufacturer's packaging (everyone can see what you bought when it's delivered). There was no Instant Pot Pro manufacturer's box with branding. I believe I was shipped a used and damaged one. I'm not blaming Instant Pot, because I know people who own one and rave about it and say it's a time saver. That's why I bought one. I can't recommend buying this, because I was sold a damaged Instant Pot.

    We bought one about 4 years ago. Replaced the seal a couple of times. Decided to update the model we had for this one and now things are back to normal. Working great. We just had to adjust to the programming upgrades. All is going great.

    Not my first pressure cooker. The stainless pot is amazing to start with. Think this stands above all other units for its quality and flexibility. Very easy to use, nice functionality. Size is good to, fits a nice size pork butt. Solid unit and easy to use

    Missed having my instant pot from a couple years ago. Great upgrade and easy to use. Can literally throw in frozen chicken breast, veggies, rice, and seasonings and come out with a quick and healthy meal. Need to look into the hundreds of options it can do.

    Instant pot pro is very easy to use and super convenient for making quick but delicious food. I am having some issues using the the steam function as it’s giving me an error message but IP customer service got back to me right away and troubleshooting it. I’ve used other brands of pressure cookers and this is by far the best. I don’t know the big differences with the duo or the crisper and only have had the pro.

    There is a bit of a learning coming from a guy who can barely use a crock pot, but once you get the hang of it this is pretty advance. It has lots of options for cooking. Works very well.

    It does all you want it to do, and is very convenient. The pot can be taken out and used on the stove, and it is easy to clean. There are a lot of functions and settings available - haven't tried all of them but so far all of them have worked as intended.
