Admittedly, I am a Ninja fan, and have been using a Ninja Foodi OL700 for the last 3 years. I have loved the versatility of this pressure cooker since it has only one lid and functions include Steam and Cook, Broiling, and so much more. Alas, my beloved pressure cooker has been giving me an error message that, according to customer service, indicates the circuit board is going. Although I will continue to use it, I know it is dying and have been on a mission to find a replacement for it. Since the available Ninja Pressure Cookers have 2 lids, I don't want to have to store a separate lid.I did research a number of different pressure cookers and the options they provided, but none of them met my basic requirements. Since Instant Pot is a known and trusted brand, I found this pressure cooker. Granted, it doesn't have all of the functionality I had gotten used to, but it would accomplish most of the tasks of a pressure cooker with the options that are important to me. In my testing, it preheated for both steaming and pressure cooking in about 8 minutes which is faster than others I tested.So, what do I like about this pressure cooker?1) The stainless steel cooking pot is easy to clean and doesn't stain or wear as the cooking pot provided for the Ninja OL700 pressure cooker. This is a definite plus over the Ninja pressure cooker.2) The cooking pot has handles for removing the pot from the pressure cooker. This is definitely a plus as most pressure cookers, including Ninja, require heat-resistant gloves to remove the pot from the cooker.3) The handles on the insert pot also hold the pot in place for stirring. With other cookers, you have to hold the pot with heat-resistant gloves when you stir the contents so that the pot doesn't spin.4) I use my pressure cooker for steaming vegetables I grow at least 2 times a week. Some of the pressure cookers I found steamed under pressure. This pressure cooker does not steam under pressure. So, a vented glass cover can be used for steaming. This makes cleanup easier as the pressure lid is more difficult to clean and dry than a glass lid. I bought the vented glass lid to use for steaming in this unit. In addition, you don't have to empty or dry the condensation collector when using a lid for steaming since the steam and water stay in the pot.5) The sauté' mode of this pressure cooker allows selection of multiple levels of heat whereas other have only low or high as options. Since I often make gravy using roast dripping, I have found that low is too low and high boils. Since gravy requires simmering, neither if these options works. I like that I can select the heat level I need with this model.6) Settings are retained for each function. So, you don't have to reset setting when using the same function multiple time as I do for steaming large batches of veggie greens.7) Preheats faster than other units I tested. It took about 8 minutes to preheat for both steaming and pressure cooking starting with cold water.I appreciate that I don't have to use preprogrammed settings when I don't need to, and when I do, the settings are easily changed. Overall, I am happy with this pressure cooker. It doesn't have all of the functions my Ninja Pressure Cooker has, but it works for what I need, and it is the best I have found.UPDATE 08/10/25:I have been using this pressure cooker for about 4 months, and use it almost every day and sometimes twice in a day. I have grown to love this pressure cooker even more than my beloved Ninja pressure cooker. It lacks some of the functions of the Ninja unit such as air frying, but I have multiple ovens that air fry. My primary uses for t pressure cooker is for pressure cooking and steaming. The stainless steel pot is so much nicer and easier to clean than the non-stick pots, and it doesn't stain or wear out as the non-stick pots do. For steaming, I have the cover that fits the pot, so I don't have to clean a pressure lid. The handles on the pot prevent the pot from rotating when ingredients are stirred, and facilitate removal of the pot without heat resistant gloves. Multiple levels for the sauté mode are so very useful for making gravy from the drippings of a pressure cooked roasts which are cooked to perfection vs. other methods of cooking.I could go on and on about what I love about this pressure cooker. I can only say, if you are looking for a great pressure cooker with a lot of functionality, this is the one to buy.I hope this review was helpful for you.

My old 8 Qt. Instant Pot I had for eight years became damaged, my hubby dropped the lid & it cracked. So I purchased the 8 Qt. Instant Pot Pro & I couldn't be happier. It's easy to use & cooks like a dream. I love that it lets you know when the pot is in preheating mode. Also, that it offers preset buttons for meals that I cook more often... no more having to set the functions each & every time I use the Pot. I only have one complaint 1) They removed the "0" time feature that I used to cook green beans & other softer veggies so they don't overcook & become mushy. But I found a workaround...now I just watch the preheat function & as soon as it beeps... I turn the pot off. I found that this does the same trick as the "0" time & my veggies don't get overcooked. I think the pot is great & I highly recommend it to others.

I'm a retired professional chef and I've avoided purchasing one of these for many years. However, once I had gone through 3 different rice cookers in a little over a year (all garbage though highly rated online), I did some research and decided on this bad boy. It's fantastic, easy to use, and gets the job done to perfection. I made pot roast with all the fixins in just over an hour. Delicious! I also no longer need a rice cooker or my slow cooker so that frees up lots of countertop space. I don't know about other brands but I highly recommend this one. It's an extra bonus that it's lower fat, doesn't use a ton of electricity, and doesn't heat up my kitchen here in the south in the midst of a blistering summer.

I love this version of the instant pot. It is so much easier to cook in this model. The inner pan has silicone handles so you can actually lift the pot out without being burned. The release for the steam valve is an easy switch button rather than the old style where you had to push and hold down to release the steam. The steam valve has a plastic cover so that when the steam is released it doesn't shoot very far up. This model is an extreme improvement. Size is perfect for cooking and for using as a slow cooker. Very glad I purchased this one and would highly recommend.

I have had 4 or 5 Pressure Cookers over the course of 14 years and so far this is my favorite of them all. Easy to cook, and clean. I am very happy with it! Recommended!

Most functions, pressure cook, sauté, etc. work as they should excepting the slow cooker mode. Mine just keeps recycling into preheat mode and never starts the cooking progress bar even though the pot is hot and the timer continues to count down. Very confusing! The pot stays hot but I never know where I am on the cook and have to rely on manual checks It's not a set and forget slow cooker like we've grown to expect.

I absolutely love it. Ive had it for quite a while now and it still works the same as the day I got it. I use it for almost every meal. It makes pressure cooked italian chicken AMAZING, its now one of my favorite things to make. It definitely makes dinner time quicker and easier. Many different cooking options with just one device. I mainly use it as a slow cooker and a pressure cooker. It's my main appliance now. I cant remember the last time I used my oven or air fryer now. LoL. Hopefully I never have to but I would definitely buy it again. It is a little expensive though, but worth the money for what it does and how long its already lasted me. It definitely made up its price with my power bill alone now that I dont have to use my oven as much.
