Instant Pots are so underrated, and Black Friday is the best time to get one — save up to 41% now

The Instant Pot Duo 3QT is the mini version of the Duo. I've reviewed the Duo Plus (below), but the Mini version does basically all the same things. This model comes with all the classic cooking settings: pressure cook, saute, slow cook, rice, steam, yogurt, and keep warm. That's pretty much all you can want from your Instant Pot.
And the best part? This particular model is just 11 inches tall and has a 10-inch diameter, so I'd recommend this for smaller homes or families.

I gave the Instant Pot Duo Plus with WhisperQuiet a nice 4 stars when I reviewed it. This Instant Pot is a great step up for large families or those who want to batch cook loads of freezer meals — that's how I use my 6QT Instant Pot. Thanks to the WhisperQuiet steam release function, the Instant Pot Duo Plus is a heck of a lot quieter than other models, so is perfect if the sound of steam releasing bothers you.
As with the Duo model above, the Duo Plus has pressure cook, slow cook, steam, saute, rice, yogurt, and keep warm, but it also has cake and sous vide for extra fancy dessert-making.

I have the Instant Pot Pro Max, which is the closest model to the Pro on this list. I gave the Pro a nice 4-star rating in my review for its mega-ease of use and huge range of cooking functions.
Like the cheaper models on this list, the Pro can pressure cook, slow cook, make rice and yogurt, sous vide, steam, keep warm, and sterilize jars and bake. The Pro also offers smart home functionality, faster preheating, and WhisperQuiet steam release. The Pro really is the best of all worlds, and I'd recommend this as the most premium option.
