Pros & Cons
Pros
The instant pot is very good. Easy to use. Spare parts are affordable and readily available on amazon.
Tender meat, easy peasy. I live on beans and lentils and this cooker is a game changer.
L size is perfect for family dinners, and the user-friendly interface makes it easy for anyone to use. Also looks great in my kitchen, saves me heaps of time and it’s easy to clean. It is quite light and not so bulky.
Favourite thing other than the sous vide function is that the pot and lid can all go into the dishwasher. Can also sauté, boil/simmer and a few other things i'll probably never use. Cooks steel cut oats to perfection.
The app is great recipe resource and there are other instant pot websites providing cooking instructions for obscure things like buckwheat or quinoa. Loved the chicken and creamy pasta recipe.

I have since learned that this only has an element on the bottom, and doesn’t heat around the sides.
Beeping noise is high pitch and annoying.
Price
Great value and easy to use functions.
Spare parts are affordable and readily available on amazon.
To be honest i’d pay double the price for this bad boy.
I have bought this instant pot for $169 and within a few days the price dropped down to $143.
Shipping
Awesome service from customer service department, first delivery never arrived , the amazon team sorted the problem within 24 hrs
Received order fri, have used it everyday since.
Competitiveness
Disappointed as the same site is selling same product for different price just in a matter of few days.

I also don’t use vacuum bags and vacuum sealers as i feel like it’s bad for environment wasting plastic every time you want to cook so i use a silicone roasting rack from oxo to ensure the bag doesn’t touch the bottom of the pot and a large size stasher bag normal flat stasher not the triangular standing style bag
