Instant Pot RIO Wide Plus, 9-in-1 Electric Pressure Cooker, 35% Larger Cooking Surface, WhisperQuiet Steam Release, Multi-Cooker, Slow Cook, Rice Maker, Steamer, Sauté, Cake, & Warmer, 7.5 Quarts

I absolutely love this Instant Pot! It’s incredibly easy to use and has made cooking so much faster and more convenient. The food comes out delicious every time, whether I’m making rice, soups, chicken, or even yogurt. It heats evenly, saves time, and the quality is excellent. The large capacity is perfect for meal prep or family dinners. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a reliable and versatile kitchen appliance!

Admittedly, I am a Ninja fan, and have been using a Ninja Foodi OL700 for the last 3 years. I have loved the versatility of this pressure cooker since it has only one lid and functions include Steam and Cook, Broiling, and so much more. Alas, my beloved pressure cooker has been giving me an error message that, according to customer service, indicates the circuit board is going. Although I will continue to use it, I know it is dying and have been on a mission to find a replacement for it. Since the available Ninja Pressure Cookers have 2 lids, I don't want to have to store a separate lid. I did research a number of different pressure cookers and the options they provided, but none of them met my basic requirements. Since Instant Pot is a known and trusted brand, I found this pressure cooker. Granted, it doesn't have all of the functionality I had gotten used to, but it would accomplish most of the tasks of a pressure cooker with the options that are important to me. In my testing, it preheated for both steaming and pressure cooking in about 8 minutes which is faster than others I tested. So, what do I like about this pressure cooker? 1) The stainless steel cooking pot is easy to clean and doesn't stain or wear as the cooking pot provided for the Ninja OL700 pressure cooker. This is a definite plus over the Ninja pressure cooker. 2) The cooking pot has handles for removing the pot from the pressure cooker. This is definitely a plus as most pressure cookers, including Ninja, require heat-resistant gloves to remove the pot from the cooker. 3) The handles on the insert pot also hold the pot in place for stirring. With other cookers, you have to hold the pot with heat-resistant gloves when you stir the contents so that the pot doesn't spin. 4) I use my pressure cooker for steaming vegetables I grow at least 2 times a week. Some of the pressure cookers I found steamed under pressure. This pressure cooker does not steam under pressure. So, a vented glass cover can be used for steaming. This makes cleanup easier as the pressure lid is more difficult to clean and dry than a glass lid. I bought the vented glass lid to use for steaming in this unit. In addition, you don't have to empty or dry the condensation collector when using a lid for steaming since the steam and water stay in the pot. 5) The sauté' mode of this pressure cooker allows selection of multiple levels of heat whereas other have only low or high as options. Since I often make gravy using roast dripping, I have found that low is too low and high boils. Since gravy requires simmering, neither if these options works. I like that I can select the heat level I need with this model. 6) Settings are retained for each function. So, you don't have to reset setting when using the same function multiple time as I do for steaming large batches of veggie greens. 7) Preheats faster than other units I tested. It took about 8 minutes to preheat for both steaming and pressure cooking starting with cold water. I appreciate that I don't have to use preprogrammed settings when I don't need to, and when I do, the settings are easily changed. Overall, I am happy with this pressure cooker. It doesn't have all of the functions my Ninja Pressure Cooker has, but it works for what I need, and it is the best I have found. UPDATE 08/10/25: I have been using this pressure cooker for about 4 months, and use it almost every day and sometimes twice in a day. I have grown to love this pressure cooker even more than my beloved Ninja pressure cooker. It lacks some of the functions of the Ninja unit such as air frying, but I have multiple ovens that air fry. My primary uses for t pressure cooker is for pressure cooking and steaming. The stainless steel pot is so much nicer and easier to clean than the non-stick pots, and it doesn't stain or wear out as the non-stick pots do. For steaming, I have the cover that fits the pot, so I don't have to clean a pressure lid. The handles on the pot prevent the pot from rotating when ingredients are stirred, and facilitate removal of the pot without heat resistant gloves. Multiple levels for the sauté mode are so very useful for making gravy from the drippings of a pressure cooked roasts which are cooked to perfection vs. other methods of cooking. I could go on and on about what I love about this pressure cooker. I can only say, if you are looking for a great pressure cooker with a lot of functionality, this is the one to buy. I hope this review was helpful for you.

I upgraded from Instapot Duo to the Pro. The fact the Instapot Pro has handles makes a world of different. On the Duo it is was a pain pulling the pot out and straining it while hot. On top of that it inner-pot of this "Pro" has a heavy bottom making a great is steel pot, so it just work like a normal pot on the stove top giving me the options in using either the electrical device or on the stove top. When in doubt get the 6 qt, is fits most things for a 1-4 person household (I'd argue even 6). Might not hold a Large whole chicken, but I manage by being able to breakdown a whole chicken (it isn't hard, just watch a video) I cook professionally. But at home the Instapot is the best appliance I've gotten. I make Bean from dried at a fraction of the time, amazing quality fresh stock that doesn't require me to to wait 8 hours on a stove top, it takes the place of crockpot, rice cooker (*), and a normal pot. Stews, Gumbo, Chili, and Braises are done greatly when you are pinch for time making what would normally for 5 hour is only an hour or two and near same quality. Which has saved me during a dinner party where my sous dropped braised short ribs 2 hours before plating. It is an investment but if you eat (or plan to eat) legumes/beans, and you use stock/broth occasionally or consistently in your diet. This will save you some money and time while giving you a better product than store-bought stock/broth and canned beans. Both the beans and stock you make freeze well, and cooked frozen bean reheat/thaw fast. And if you freeze veggie scrap (like onion skin, carrot/parsnip peel, celery tops and bottoms) as well and save bones from you chicken (rotisserie, chicken thigns, or whole chicken) you can make stock with all the stuff you were going to throw way anyway. Better than store bought while also being basically free. Lastly it is great for meal prep and you can set it to have your ingredients in it before leaving to work and being done by the time you get home from work. If you cook consistently for yourself and/or for loved ones, or want to cook more at home. An Instapot makes thing easy at a press of a button, and the Pro has very convent features (like HANDLES I cant praise enough!) that make life much more easy. When you get one you will ask also ask "Why didn't I get one sooner?". I work late nights and early morning, this gives me more time and saves me from eating out. ~*I've mentioned "rice cooker" and I want to expand on this.~ The Instapot works great as a rice cooker but compared to an actual rice cooker, it is a little slower to cook (20min vs 30-35min) and the rice (especially short-grain/sushi rice) builds starch and stick to the stainless steel pot, requiring a slight bit more finesse to clean. I personally eat rice (and grains) consistently and i like saving 10-15min of what little time I have at home, so i have both a cheap rice cooker and instapot. However if you want to minimize your appliances (i.e. have less "appliance clutter") and need to conserve space in your kitchen, then having just an Instapot will work well enough and do every thing a rice cooker can, plus much MUCH more.

I purchased the Rio because I wanted an updated model of the Instant Pot . I have smaller and a bigger version. This one is nice because it is not as tall as the other ones which makes it handier to cook in a wider cooking surface. It has many upgrades and is pretty foolproof. It has prompts for all phases of cooking so you can' t go wrong. The pressure release is truly quiet. The only disappointment is that to cook ribs, they have to be cut and cannot be standing on the ends to circle the pot but that's not a disqualifier, The pot cooks beautifully and perhaps and the saute function is more controllable. Anyway I do recommend this pot. Clean up is a breeze.

Amazing little machine, makes cooling literally anything painless and easy. I'm not joking, you can literally just fill it up with frozen ribs or pork shoulder, walk away, and when you come back it's soft, tender, and falling off the bone like at a restaurant. Nothing but impressed so far, and the accessory bundles I got to go with it have been very useful.

I was looking for a rice cooker and decided to go with an Instant pot because I wanted something that could cook rice and also other dishes. I’ve owned the instant vortex air fryer from this brand for a long time, and it has been extremely sturdy and reliable. I’ve heard so many good things about instant pot so I already had high expectations, and it did not disappoint. There are many instant pot models, which was a bit confusing at first. Honestly, one of the biggest reasons I chose the pro was the overall design and color. It looks the most premium out of the lineup, and I love the all-black finish. Other models felt a bit dated to me(purely personal preference). The price difference wasn’t significant, and since I didn’t need the wi-fi features of the pro plus, this model felt like the perfect choice. It also matches my instant vortex air fryer perfectly, so I’m happy with how it looks in my kitchen. The inner pot handles might seem like a small detail, but they make a big difference when lifting the pot, and the silicone grip is a nice touch. The built-in lid holder on both sides is another small detail that makes cooking more convenient. The screen is large, and the buttons are intuitive and easy to use. You can save up to 5 favorite settings, which makes frequently cooked meals so easy, just press one button and you’re done. I’m a two-person household and chose the 6 quarts, which is more than enough for us. I mainly use this as a rice cooker, and I’ve also been trying new recipes here and there. Everything has turned out well so far, and it’s been fun experimenting with different dishes. If I had to mention one minor downside, when cooking rice, some sticking can occur at the bottom. Since the inner pot is stainless steel, this seems unavoidable. Adding a spoon of vegetable oil and spreading it across the bottom before adding rice does help, but there can still be slight sticking. After using it regularly for 2 months, The biggest advantage is that I don’t have to stand by the stove and constantly watch over my food, and my kitchen stays clean. Both the inner pot and the lid are dishwasher safe, so the entire process, from cooking to cleanup, feels almost hands-off. That alone makes this a great purchase in my opinion.

I we'll start this by saying if I could give this product zero stars or negative stars, I would. Absolutely. I have tried to order this product FOUR times. Amazon will not let me individually review this item for each one of those purchases, although they are different experiences. The first time Amazon sent me a defective product with a broken lid and a damaged body (I knew that I was purchasing it from the Amazon sell, but I had no idea it was gonna be unusable) My second order was with a Christmas gift card for a brand new product. I purchased the 8 qt "pro" as an upgrade from my current duo nova instant pot. I have enjoyed that product, although I do get an error code fairly frequently stating that the pot is the wrong size for the base… Instant pot told me that there is no fix for this I just need to order a brand new pot which I refuse to do so I fidget with it and it will work. Anyway, the brand new 8 quart would not come up to temperature on the slow cook function. I let it sit for four hours and it was still preheating and the food inside was raw. I had to take the food out and cook it in the oven. I sent the pot back The third time I ordered a 6 quart instant pot pro which looked beautiful, but had the exact same problem. There was also a problem getting the lid to come off the pot I had to take a butter knife and push down the steam release so that the lid would release and allow me to remove it even when I was not using the pressure cook mode. The slow Cook function absolutely would not preheat I did an experiment by putting water in the pot and turning it on for eight hours in the morning with no food in it and it never came up to temperature. Seven hours later it was still blinking preheat and the water inside was like 150°F. I contacted instant pot and they wanted me to do this almost tremendous task of taking a video showing the problem taking several photographs explaining the context of the problem blah blah blah blah. I said no I am just going to send it back until I can get one that actually works. That brings me to my fourth and final order of the instant pot Pro 6 qt. I know that it will shock you, but I had the exact same problem. I could not believe it. I looked it up online (as I should have done in the first place)and found that this is a common problem with this product. It just will not come up to heat on slow cook. One YouTube video said that it takes hours for this particular model to come up to temperature and you will need to have an instant thermometer handy so that you can check your food every few hours to ensure that it's actually cooking appropriately. I don't know about you, but when I slow cook food it is my expectation that that food is going to cook, even if I am out working in my garden or running a quick errand to the store. Why would I be on standby for eight hours when I can probably cook it in the oven in one or two and have a somewhat consistent result? Well, I did contact instant pot (again) and they required me to send photographs, and an explanation, and the whole rigmarole, which I did this time only to get a reply just a couple hours later where I was told the same thing : if you were going to cook something on slow cook it can take up to four hours to preheat on a longer cook. My reply back to instant pot was that several sites on the Internet know that there is a problem with the instant pot pro in that the slow Cook function does not work correctly. The Internet knows that this is a flaw. Amazon is becoming aware that this is a flaw. And I believe that instant pot knows that this is a flaw yet they refuse to either correct the problem or honor their warranty. I am sad to say that I will never buy another instant pot product after the runaround that I was given by this company, who refused to assist me, will not honor the warranty, made excuses for a faulty product, and ultimately just basically said if you don't like it go return it (literally). So I am. GOOD NEWS-- UPS will pick it up for free.

I love this thing! I use this machine regularly, but only its pressure cooker function. The volume is large enough to make a sizable batch of chicken, beef or other stock - and a pressure cooker is the best way to wring every bit of flavor and gelatin from those bones and veggies. I use it to make dried beans in one hour, or make chuck shreddingly tender in a chili sauce for enchiladas. I’ve made Serious Eats’ pressure cooked chili to get a dish that tastes like you took all day to make it, but in one hour, and many other dishes using the pressure cooker function. It is a high quality, easy to use machine, and very safe. No worries about the thing exploding. The only reason I’m not giving it four stars is because I suspect most people won’t bother to use half of the many various functions it sports, which I suspect the manufacturer added merely to have bragging rights over other prodoit there.

Compré la Instant Pot y genuinamente fue una de las mejores decisiones para mi cocina. La uso varias veces por semana y me ha resuelto cosas que antes eran un dolor, sobre todo cuando la carne o el pollo están congelados. Literal: de congelador a plato servido, sin drama. Uno de los momentos donde más la amé fue en Navidad. Pude hacer la cena completa en aproximadamente 2 horas, cuando normalmente habría pasado toda la noche cocinando. Carnes suaves, bien cocidas, con sabor, sin estar pegada a la estufa ni estresada por tiempos. La presión funciona excelente, los resultados son consistentes y te da mucha tranquilidad saber que puedes cocinar incluso cuando no planeaste nada con anticipación. Es ideal para: pollo o carne congelada, guisos, caldos, arroz, comidas “de diario” y también para ocasiones especiales. Al principio intimidan un poco los botones, pero es cuestión de usarla un par de veces. Después se vuelve automática en tu rutina. Además, la olla interior es fácil de limpiar y el sistema de seguridad se siente muy confiable. No exagero cuando digo que me ahorra tiempo, energía y estrés. Si cocinas en casa y quieres resultados buenos sin pasar horas, vale totalmente la pena. La recomiendo sin dudar y definitivamente la volvería a comprar y de hecho estoy pensando comprar más tamaños :D.

Produto ótimo. Panela interna de inox que pode ser retirada e usada no fogão. Facilita limpeza e vai durar para sempre. Faço iogurte em potes em banho Maria toda a semana. Pasteurizei ovos inteiros com a função sous vide. Silenciosa quando usa pressão, que funciona maravilhosamente.

After my previous Instantpot stopped working one day. It was time for a new one. This one I chose as it had sous vide function. I have used this function twice now. I am quite impressed with it I must say. This Instantpot has ten functions. It is bigger than my precious one at 8qt. While I don’t cook for many I do not regret choosing the bigger version. What I enjoy about this particular Instantpot is the following: -The steam release is so much more easy to use. Just slide down to open and slide up to close. -The stainless steel liner with handles is the best update to this device ever. Silicone handles make it so easy to remove a scorching hot pot. -As with my previous pot this one has the dial to adjust time, temp and such. So easy and handy. -the cord is attached rather than having to plug it in the pot each time. As of yet I haven’t use this Instantpot for anything else. I can’t imagine it be any less than my other Pot. One thing I can think of that I’m not so impressed with: -There is a small slot to slide one thickness of your cord in the back, to hold it. It is fairly useless as being able to hold more cord would have been so much more useful. Even a nice Velcro strap to fold the cord up would have been so much better. Is this InstantPot worth buying? It is in my opinion a solid buy. It has more than one use and is a well built product.

Product was working fine till unexpected malfunction happened. The Tokion team was then extremely helpful. Provided me multiple options for repair through warranty and when all solutions were exhausted, full refund was issued upon shipping back the item

The product demo was given by Mr. Zafar Khan. The demo was really good and detailed. Made things so much easier. And the product is really convenient and amazing to use. Must buy.
