Instant Pot 6QT RIO 7-in-1 Multi-Cooker, Pressure Cooker, Slow cook, Sauté, Steam, Rice Maker, Yogurt, & Warmer, Black, 6 Quarts

I love it! Cooks thoroughly and efficiently. It's a large size so it's great for feeding a family or cooking for a party. The quality of the instant pot is great and comes with thorough instructions. It's also easy to clean as you can take out the inner pot. The one down side is it does take up a lot of space so if you have a small counter top like me it's something you'll have to store elsewhere. Overall I think it's worth the price and works really well. I recommend it!

’ve been using the Instant Pot 4 qt RIO Mini 7-in-1 Multi-Cooker for a few weeks now, and it’s become one of my favorite kitchen helpers — especially since I don’t always feel like firing up the stove. It’s small enough that it doesn’t take over my counter, but still big enough to make meals for one or two people or leftovers for lunch, which is perfect for my apartment size. The seven functions — like pressure cook, slow cook, sauté, steam, rice, yogurt, and keep warm — give me tons of flexibility, so I can make anything from soups and rice to yogurt or steamed veggies without juggling multiple pots. It cooks stuff quickly (way faster than my old slow cooker) and cleanup is easy because the pot and lid are dishwasher safe. The progress indicator on the front is a nice touch too since I can see where it is in the cooking cycle at a glance. It’s not perfect — the lack of a detachable power cord and fewer accessories out there can be annoying — but overall it’s very handy, user-friendly, and a great small-space multitasker that I reach for almost every day.

This is such a great product! The compact size is perfect for my small apartment. I have used both the pressure cooker and slow cooker features. In the first few days I had used the pressure cooker to break down split peas before adding to the slow cook. I will use this method on all my bean dishes. Artichokes were quick, easy, cooked to perfection. This is quickly becoming my favorite kitchen tool!

Reasonable price. Works as expected and love to cook with it. Reason I bout this was for the smaller capacity and ease of cleaning. Absolutely love the stainless steel pot.

Love the size and the pink color. So, much easier to work with and clean than the larger version. The sauté function does run pretty hot so don’t take your eyes off it. Did a pot roast almost the same size as the bottom of the pot in 75 min, on pressure cook setting. Took it out and set it aside to rest then put all the vegetables in the pot and pressure cooked for 30 min (could have done for less time) Probably could have done meat for 60 min and been fine. It’s nice and light and so much more convenient than trying to lug around the big one especially when there is only two of us now. It made more than enough for at least 4 people. So, unless you have a huge family or like tons of leftovers then this is great for 2-4 people easy. The directions for pressure cooking say to use a minimum of 3 cups of liquid but I believe this would be incorrect as it would have filled the pot over 3/4 full when you add ingredients. From what information I could gather on the internet you should only need a minimum of 1 cup liquid. Which I think sounds more correct because I split the difference and added almost 2 cups and in the end after done cooking I had probably 4 cups of liquid when all cooked. But overall very happy with the machine and it’s quick cooking time. It’s a great quality machine and was on sale so a steal of a deal. Definitely great value for the money

Arrived several days ago and I was excited to use. There are a few convenience features I miss from my 6qt, to include temp choice and a removable cord for storage purpose. No recipe book unfortunately, so I simply half my normal meal ingredients. Otherwise I haven’t had a problem with this smaller version IP. I made spaghetti as the meal test and found it easier to work with given the shorter height of unit. The steam release tab is a thoughtful feature as I have burned myself previously using the original version. This unit works quietly when on; I even had to go closer to hear if my food was cooking! It is aesthetically pleasing and the optional color choice is a plus. I am content with my purchase thus far and looking forward to preparing my next meal.

Small enough to cook what I need for one person on a diet. While everyone else can eat what's for dinner. Its cooks stuff in 30 min a whole healthy low cal meal just for me. I had the original 'Harvest' Pressure cooker from the early 90"s and that would also allow me to do Canning. But this isn't an 8 quart it's a 4 quart and can make yogurt , just not in individual jars. Small price to pay to be able to make a small batch of what only I need. Oh and it's REALLY pretty too. (dusty rose)

Works as stated. A bit of learning curve, but simple. It is basically a 6 qt that has shunken lower. Whether it is wider I am not aware. The only thing I was disappointed in was that the 4 qt is really about 2 2/3 qt capacity in actuality, or less (2qt) if you cook things like split pea soup. It shouldn't have surprised me in that a manual pressure cooker can't be topped off either. For two people this was about right however. We don't need to make a ton of food. For others, they might want to consider the 6 qt. which would give them an actual 4 qt capacity I believe. The saute function is great for starting soups and stews. Quicker than electric rangetop. I have made oxtail stew (bone in) and mixed bean (pre-soaked) chili so far. A real time saver, and the pressure cooker won't scare you half to death like it might on an electric rangetop, where you might need to 'decompress' it immediately under running water.

I purchased the Instant Pot recently, and it has genuinely improved my daily cooking routine. The multi-function options are very well-designed — pressure cooking, sautéing, slow cooking, and steaming all work flawlessly. Rice, biryani, dal, soups, and even boiled vegetables are cooked perfectly with consistent results. The stainless-steel inner pot is sturdy and easy to clean, unlike non-stick pots that wear out quickly. I also appreciate the safety features: lid lock, pressure release valve, and auto temperature control. The appliance feels premium, user-friendly, and energy-efficient. Overall, the Instant Pot is a reliable, time-saving kitchen appliance, especially for busy households. Totally worth the purchase.

Hasta ahora todo bien.. y es hermosa!!!
