(More customer reviews)This product is good if you are looking for a cooker with a stainless steel liner. For health reasons I thought stainless may be a better choice. Almost all brand use a non-stick liner. It has a few drawbacks in my opinion compared to the 6 quart Elite Electric pressure cooker, which is a non-stick. I own and use both of them. They are both super quite and and program features seem to work well. Everything I have made in both pots has come out as expected. A drawback for me with the Instant Pot is that the lid must be removed every time you open pot. I like that the Elite stays attached until I wish to remove it, so I can open and close it repeatedly for multiple servings. Be careful of the escaping steam. The program buttons are comparable to the Elite. The Instant Pot has a slow cooker button. Both lack greatly in what they call a recipe book. So lacking in fact, that it leaves me searching online for recipes to try. Now, the biggest drawback in my opinion is that the Instant Pot lacks the ability to brown in the cooker. The Elite has this wonderful option. With the Instant Pot you will have to brown your food on the stove top in another pan and then move it to the cooker. I tried browning in the liner on the stove. This did not work at all well. This browning feature on the Elite also makes it so much easier to thicken foods at the end of the cooking cycle by simply pressing the start button. You will get a nice heat up to make a gravy or just thicken a soup or stew. So, if you are not concerned about which liner to use, I think the Elite wins the prize here, but the Instant Pot is certainly comparable. While lacking the browning feature it is still a good choice if you want the stainless steel liner. Wonderful convenience in a busy kitchen.
