Is QVC still carrying Instapot?

KittyL — Fri, 07 Feb 2020 04:55:35 GMT

My friend just had a baby and i want to get her one, since I love the 6 qt 7 in 1 i got on qvc. Searched and saw there are practically none listed on the site. Called customer service and they didn't have any answer or couldn't tell me when they'd be on the air again. Does anybody know?

Do you mean Instant Pot? QVC has a 6 qt on sale now.

Not sure why people call it Instapot. In this country they are all Instant Pots.

@KittyL You searched and there are practically none? But that means you did find one, a 6-qt/9 in 1 version. So what is the question? Why do you want to wait until something is on air? You can purchase an Instant Pot at hundreds of places online. I'm sure you'll find what you are looking for -- good luck.

The Duo Evo Plus (I thinkthat's the name) is THE best! The steam release works better and the inside cooking pot has handles on it so you can get out so much easier!

I vote for that model! I don't think q carries it but williams-sonoma does. Sometimes they have a great price on it.

What I saw is that they're half off and some are "as is" no new stuff. I loved the different colored ones a few months back, I wanted to get her one of those. I do see teal on other sites, that's it. Also wanted easy pay for the purchase. Like I said, it looks like QVC is closing them out. I'm not buying "as is" or limiting to the black, red, or silver them have, I wanted peach or turquoise or green.

Suspicious because of the deep discount. Also, bad reviews of the as is condition.

After a bad experience with heating items I bought as-is, I will never again buy anything that heats in as-is condition, and would recommend against it, especially off brands. The things I bought were cheap and I threw them away, because I didn't want them returned to stock. They actually held food in the unsafe zone and should not have been sold. I'm not talking about the Instant Pot, but I wouldn't buy that as-is either.

Hi - I can't believe this item (K49640) is on clearance! What a steal of a price. So many people complained that no recipes were included and only minimal instructions. Those would have been nice but the info is readily available online. If you're looking for one of these, boy it's rock bottom price for a fantastic version of the pot. I just love mine, which I bought at 79 when it was a Tsv, and use it nearly every day.

@chessylady

I chuckled when I read this.

I mean.....it says it on the box.

Origins:

The McDougall Diet (plantbased) community really got a foothold w/ the Instant Pot early in the game. Chef AJ, was promoting them way back in 2013-14. At that time there was a FB group called "InstaPot Users Group"..and it gained a TON of users. The moderator of that page originally mis-spelled it...and with many users searching for that mis-spelled term...many will say that's why the mis-spelling still remains, to this day.

Is it possible they are coming out with a newer version and that's why they are on clearance? I'm waiting to see.

@KittyL Everything seems to be on a severe discount.Even if it is new.

I agree Sooner. While I love my Instant Pot Duo, I replaced it with the Instant Pot Duo Evo Plus. I think it's a game-changer as it has a lot of features that were incorporated based on customer feedback. However, ANY Instant Pot is wonderful and there are numerous models to choose from. The Instant Pot Duo Plus at $69 is a FANTASTIC price.

For anyone who doesn't want that particular model, Instant Pots are sold at tons of places, Bed Bath and Beyond, Williams-Sonoma, Kohls, Walmart, Sam's, Costco, Belk, many supermarkets. However no one carries every model so you have to make your purchase from the merchant who carries the model you want.

Different models have various presets but don't worry about them - for example, Meat/Stew, Soup/Broth etc. The vast majority of people and recipes in cookbooks or online simply call for using the Pressure Cook button and the amount of cooking time the recipe calls for. That's what I use for actual cooking.

Chessylady, I think those who call it the Instapot are just ignorant. The correct name is Instant Pot - anywhere it's sold!
