 I am looking at adding an Insta Pot to my ******or cooker, and am overwhelmed by the choices!  I am a bells and whistles person, so I like features but good grief.  So many options and models.

I am intrigued by the Bluetooth one the Smart, but don't know if that would be more hassle than it was worth!  

What are the features you use most, or want most?  THANKS!!!!

Its the best.   Well worth athe small cost for the Bluetooth model.

Be sure to get the stainless steel insert.

Good luck.

@EatWell   Thanks!  My ******or has the stainless pot and that's one reason why I bought it.  I've had it a couple of years I think.  I wouldn't want a pressure cooker with a non-stick interior.

Ditto @ptagirl. I also have the  7-1, 6 quart (IP-Duo/1000w) and purchased it on Amazon. I'm not very technically savvy, so I don't want any more "bells and whistles." I like the saute capability as well. The funny thing is, I use my Instant Pot most for right now is hard-boiling eggs! I also love it for taking frozen chicken parts to delicious stew in no time. I use it more than my slow cooker, but I also seem to have "seasons" for my appliances. My problem is STORAGE! Right now I have boxes of small appliances in my laundry room because there's no room in my kitchen.

I didn't know that they made a really little one.  Wonder if it would be good for some boiled eggs, green beans or a couple of chicken breasts?  I havent actually SEEN one.

Sooner, I saw some reviews online with video that had it beside the 6 qt and 8 qt.

We've had the 7-1 6qt from Amazon for about 3 weeks now and love it.  It's great for browning and then going right into slow cooking or pressure cooking. We highly recommend it!

I read that you could set it to soak dried beans at something like 120 degrees for a few hours then switch to cooking automatically with the bluetooth one.  Don't know if that's true or not.

Not everything you read online is true.  Well, except HERE of course!

I just ordered the 6 qt. 7 in 1 version of Instant Pot last night from Kohl's, but it hasn't shipped yet.  It's on sale for $99 & I have a 30% off coupon, so I figured I'd give it a try.  I have a Ninja 6 qt 3 in 1 Multicooker, but haven't been that happy with it as the stovetop & bake functions seem to be too hot even on low & I have to watch it closely or it scorches things.

If you already have a regular pressure cooker, would you still benefit from having an InstaPot?

I am a kitchen gadget junkie so no one has to twist my arm to buy another appliance, but I love my regular pressure cooker and would only want to get an InstaPot if it has additional features to make it worthwhile.

You can tell that I'm hoping you all can give me justification to buy one, so please tell me why I must have it! ;-)
