Everything about this is awesome, except that the buttons suck. I have several other versions of instant pots. Their buttons work great. If you press the buttons on this model slowly, it never works. Try pressing the corners, doesn't work. Press the middle, doesn't work. Press on the button and then roll your finger around hoping to find the sweet spot... doesn't work. Press it quickly (like a poke) in the middle. Works fine every time. It doesn't make any sense to me. But it works.

I HIGHLY recommend Instant Pot 100%! - I will begin by saying- I SERIOUSLY DO NOT LIKE CHANGE! I have Used CROCK POTS/ SLOW COOKERS - My Entire Life- However, After A Family Member Had us over for a Meal- and Made something that would've taken hours in a slow Cooker- Took 45 minutes in her Instant Pot! I Ordered mine That Day...

Literally bought the duo crisp ultimate lid to make green bean casserole with the crunchy topping without using an oven. The lid that does pressure cooking and air frying is so awesome because it’s less stuff to store and easy to use. A few things to note is that the pot is seems more shallow but wider than the normal 6qt, so one of my taller accessories racks doesn’t fit anymore but that fine. Another great part is that you can set it to release the pressure for you when the time’s up. I have always been very forgetful and come back a few minutes over time and overcook my food. Now I can worry less and the auto pressure release gets my attention.

So I live alone and I rarely have reason to cook I am mostly microwave-bound however two different family members have gotten air fryers and I thought well I'm going to look into that so I just went down the rabbit hole of air fryer instant pot which is better and I found a instant pot had a air fryer combo and it looked big and bulky I wasn't exactly a super big fan of it but then I found out they had this and I'm like oh it's too expensive but it's two different things than one super simple to use very easy
