Customers are mixed about the value of the pressure cooker. Some mention it's an outstanding value for such a useful appliance, and worth the price to upgrade. However, others say it'll never be used and is not worth the extra money.

"...Very expensive to only use as a slow cooker, but the “stay warm” function is nice when the family is late getting home.Excellent quality...." Read more

Customers are mixed about the temperature control of the pressure cooker.

Customers are mixed about the pressure release of the pressure cooker. Some mention that the auto pressure release is awesome, and it's nice to have the increased pressure option. They also say that the variable pressure release setting is awesome and the max is higher pressure, which is great for canning. However, others say that they have been unable to get it to reliably release pressure, and that it never comes to pressure. They say that it'll double the cooking time.

"...Pot I noticed how they simplified the controls, and the pressure release is now automatic...." Read more

"...it over to quick release and then wait all day and it will never actually quick release. It will just sit there, overcooking your meal...." Read more

"...The pressure valve is automatic and one less thing to worry about - no sealing mode, venting mode, etc...." Read more

High Altitude and More!
5 Stars
High Altitude and More!
I didn't realize this when I purchased this particular instant pot, but it adjusts for high altitude. Unbelievable! I don't know very many appliances that do that.Being new to a higher altitude means that I've had a lot of baking and cooking failures. That feature is just one of the many perks of this product. I've used it for small batch canning as well as the usual soups, stews, and rices.And using it couldn't be any easier with the digital display.I'll admit, quite sheepishly, that I also purchased the instant pot sous-vide, The one that basically does sous-vide and slow cooking and not much else. I didn't know there was an instant pot like this one at the time, and I'm all about the multitasking appliances, so my rarely used sous vide instant pot will find a new home. I also have the basic duo instant pot, but I like this one much better. It even looks more upscale.I also have the smaller three quart, which is wonderful for smaller quantities, or when I need to use them both at once. Which happens more often than you think!

5.0 out of 5 stars Easiest, Most Advanced Automatic Canner
Reviewed in the United States on March 19, 2022
Size: 6QTVerified Purchase
Most canners only show you what the pressure is inside the canner. What is MOST IMPORTANT, however is the TEMPERATURE at a sustained high pressure. The high pressure is pre-set to 15 PSI. Pressure drives temperatures above the boiling point, to above the 240 degrees necessary to kill botulism. It must be sustained for a given period of time determined by the USDA. The Max shows it’s internal temperature the entire time it is running in the canning operation. If it should drop unexpectedly, it will stop working and flash it’s display until you fix it. For those who can’t handle the weight of a big stove top canner or don’t want to can foods in quarts, this is a great countertop addition to the kitchen. Four pints at a time gives me the right amount of canned food to enjoy right away and have extra on the shelf for later. I can take advantage of sales and don’t have to worry about power outages and losing a freezer full of food. It provides a quick, easy meal with only a warm-up needed when I’m too tired to cook from scratch, and ready-cooked meats for dinner or for my husband to take to work. I have not yet even tried sous vide function, but I will certainly be making bone broth soon. This is a wonderful companion to my regular Instant Pot Duo, both of which are very much welcome in my kitchen. I am legally blind, but I can still safely use these products. They are a joy to own and use.

5.0 out of 5 stars Replaced my standard 6 QT model
Reviewed in the United States on April 23, 2020
Size: 6QTVerified Purchase
I have had a the Wifi version of one of these for 9 months, used it twice. When I decided it was a good time to start using it more, I found that the Wifi didn't work anymore due to their changing things around. I figured I would rather have a better display anyway.

I don't do most of the things these are capable of, I simply do occasional slow cooking when I can do that with a smaller pot (I have a normal larger slow cooker for normal use) or for pressure cooking. Since I didn't need all the other bells and whistles, I found what I DID want was a good screen, with usable details. My Wifi model left me guessing if it was even working or not. I love how this one shows me the warm up, the pressure, the release, all the states as they happen.

I don't have any issues with the interface, it's easy to set what I want, program or change programs, and see at a glance just what is happening right now.

It IS odd not having the normal steam release but I'm getting used to that.

It's worked well, handled what I've done with it easily. These really do offer so many better options for families for ways to cook, and shorter cook times. Mine will start getting much more use as I become more familiar with the things I can cook with it.

I bought this Instant Pot 3 QT DUO Mini because of a recipe in the facebook group "Cooking Pleasures". They have so many great recipes for all kinds of kitchen gadgets. This pot can Saute, Slow Cook, Steam, Yogurt, Pressure Cook and more. It's the perfect addition to my small kitchen that is big enough to cook for the two of us. The three most used functions I use are Slow Cook, Pressure Cook and make Yogurt. I love it.

Hello Mrs.
5.0 out of 5 stars Successful pressure canning
Reviewed in the United States on March 23, 2024
Size: 6QTVerified Purchase
What I like about it: small batch canning, easy set-up registering elevation (an important factor in canning), doesn’t heat up the house like a stovetop canner, Doesn’t take up too much more room than my regular Instant Pot, easy to clean, holds the temperature.
What I wish it had included but didn’t: tested pressure canning recipes to the amounts four pint jars would hold, specific amount of water to use for the pressure canning function, a separate booklet for the canning function with listed different requirements for pressure canning vs water-bath canning vs steam canning…when to use venting and when to use no-venting. Most pressure canners that I’ve heard of include these things.
This IP MAX should come with its own jar lifter as the one I bought doesn’t work because it’s too tight of a fit. I used my Cuisinart silicone gloves and glad I owned them.
I sort of wish this wasn’t as versatile of an appliance as it isn’t just another Instant Pot, the canning aspect of this one makes this very different and although some may like that this does so very many things, the fact that it does so increases the possibility of user errors.
I would recommend the product to potential buyers. I would also recommend that Instant Pot make a few tweaks to make this an easier go-to for small batch canning. And better yet, wish they would come up with a canning only model that has a better manual, recipes, etc.
Good day to y’all.

5.0 out of 5 stars Speedy cooking
Reviewed in Canada on July 12, 2023
Size: 6QTVerified Purchase
Always intended to buy an instant pot but put it off because I was accustomed to using a stove top one that would obtain a 15psI pressure & cook faster than electric ones which don't. But I discovered that this Instant Pot Max model does ! The only one in their line that does. Tested it out & indeed it does reach 250 F or 15psi. Very happy about that. The controls are also much easier on this MAX model to navigate & understand. Very simple. The only downside is that the so called silicone sealing ring had a toxic plastic smell to it after completing two 15 min water tests with it. Silicone is supposed to be odourless. So I ordered two different types of sealing rings that claimed to be genuine silicone & tested them out too & found the same thing. Horrible plastic smell. So I researched this problem & found a solution. If you bake your new silicone rings in a 350 degree F oven for 1 hour, it will take away that odour. For the colored off brand rings I bought as a replacement after the warranty is up, I had to bake them for two hrs at that temperature to completely remove the odour. So now I'm happy that I can use my new pressure cooker without any toxic smell to the sealing ring. Hope this solution helps someone else. Very pleased with this MAX model even though it was pricier than other models in the line. But the higher cooking pressure made it worth it & the simpler controls was a bonus.

5.0 out of 5 stars Buena olla la Instant Pot MAX
Reviewed in Mexico on February 5, 2021
Size: 6QTVerified Purchase
Me parece buena olla, ya he probado otras (phillips, Instant Pot Ultra), asi que mi opinion es que es buena y tiene el plus en particular de poder configurar la forma de liberar la presión al terminar la cocción, tiene tres formas: la tradicional manual o de forma automatica como son en tiempos diferidos o por completo.

Tiene pantalla touch agradable y sencilla, asi que me parece buen detalle

No tiene tantas opciones como la ULTRA, asi que se tienen que saber los tiempos o calcularle, la Ultra por ejemplo tiene ya las opciones predefinidas para varios tipos de cocción sin tener que calcular.

Esta MAX trae su propia hoja dentro del paquete que indica los tiempos de cocción de diferentes productos los cuales he comprobado algunos y realmente estan fuera de la realidad, un ejemplo son los frijoles negros, los tiene que se cocen en un tiempo de D: 16 a 20 mins o S: 5 a 7 mins y realmente tarda como 50 mins como minimo... asi que solo es cuestion de calculo.

Lo negativo si es que se puede considerar asi:

- El pitido de final de cocción es muy bajo me gustaria que se pudiera regular el sonido.
- No es Wifi

De lo demas es una olla excelente.

5.0 out of 5 stars Instant Pot Max compared to a Brand-x competitor.
Reviewed in Canada on May 30, 2020
Size: 6QTVerified Purchase
I had a sort-of knock-off of the Instant Pot for two years. I replaced it with an Instant Pot Max. Here are my notes, comparing them. I am not affiliated with Instant Pot in any way except being a user who can type.

a) I had a Deni-brand pot, claiming to do many of the same things, and it did indeed do many basic things just as well. The Instant Pot Max does more than just saute, boil, steam and pressure-cook. It is very broadly programmable, but also has many neat one-button modes such as yogurt-making, etc.

b) It it has simple point-and-shoot modes, plus optional variants of those modes, plus wholly-custom ways of doing everything the way you want, across the board. The Instant Pot Max controls are very much touch-screen oriented; use it a few times, and you start to feel confident. For instance, it has English Language display text for reporting alarms or errors, not just some obscure icons. This cost them more to do, but since "smart-pots" can get bewildering, Instant Pot Max has put some money and technology into coping with this.

b) The instant Pot is much better built. It is solid construction, similar to my own pots and pans. The difference can be seen and can be felt, right out of the box. It also is much cooler on the outside skin when operating, even for long times.

c) The instant Pot Max has a lot of accessories. Racks, cool micro-mitts, ladles and such. It was nice, but I already had everything -- except that those darned little finger-mitts are indeed rather cool.

d) The Instant Pot Max has pretty-much automated all the de-pressurizing functions. You just tell it what you want done. No worries about getting scalded.

e) Like my Deni, it has layers of protection against misuse. More layers, for example. It can even detect when your food is burning under a sealed lid.

So it was worth the price.

Escribo esta reseña después de tenerla por varios meses y utilizarla casi a diario, cambió por completo la forma en la que cocino y ahorro mucho tiempo por que no tengo que hacer nada una vez que comienza la cocción a presión, se puede utilizar el mismo bowl para saltear y cocinar a presión por lo que hay menos cosas que limpiar, las recetas que encuentro en internet las convierto de presión alta a max solo con reducir el tiempo pero no siempre es conveniente ya que toma más tiempo en llegar a la máxima presión que lo que tarda en llegar a presión alta o baja.

La función de Sous Vide tarda mucho tiempo en comenzar pero si me ha dado buenos resultados, solo me falta utilizar la función de enlatar de manera completa, la he usado para esterilizar frascos.

El resto de las funciones si son excelentes, se nota la diferencia del arroz cuando tengo habilitada la función de nutriboost, el yogurt queda delicioso y hace que valga la pena la espera de 8 horas.

De las grandes ventajas que tiene este modelo con la presión max (15 psi) es que puedes tener frijoles que estaban secos hechos en 20 minutos de cocción (más aprox 10 mins entre lo que tarda en entrar a presión y expulsar el vapor), ya no necesitas dejarlos reposar en agua toda la noche, al hacer fondos con hueso de pollo o res si sabe mucho mejor si se hace con la presión máxima.

5.0 out of 5 stars LA MEJOR DE LAS INSTANT POT

Tuve una instant pot evo plus, que devolví pues dejó de servir después de 4 meses de uso, porque dejó de presurizar. Decidí comprar una nueva olla instant pot porque es sumamente útil en la cocina. Es eficiente !
Este modelo MAX, me encanta porque es touch y puedo programar la ventilación automática, lenta o nula, desde un principio, así no tengo que estar pendiente, y evitas el riesgo de tocar el área de vapor.
Pero sí creo que al trabajar con 15psi , tarda más minutos en precalentar . Si vas a cocinar varios platillos seguidos, ejemplo, primero arroz y luego verduras, es importante considerar que te llevará mas tiempo.
