We recommend the Instant Pot Duo 6-Quart to most people. However, the Instant Pot Pro 6-Quart is also very good, if you’re willing to pay extra for improved ease-of-use features, such as a bigger screen, a no-spin inner pot, and a slightly quieter steam release. The company also has a couple of other models—the Max and the Ultra, the latter of which is available only through certain retailers; we don’t recommend them mainly because we found that the Duo and Pro offered the best sets of features for their respective prices. Since 2020, Instant Pot has changed its offerings every few months, and prices have been fluctuating. Ultimately, the brand makes the best multicookers we’ve found in years of testing, and we think that if you find a model on sale, it will likely still serve you well. The differences between models come down to the extra features.
