Instant Pot RIO 6QT Multi-Cooker, Black

’ve been using the Instant Pot 4 qt RIO Mini 7-in-1 Multi-Cooker for a few weeks now, and it’s become one of my favorite kitchen helpers — especially since I don’t always feel like firing up the stove. It’s small enough that it doesn’t take over my counter, but still big enough to make meals for one or two people or leftovers for lunch, which is perfect for my apartment size. The seven functions — like pressure cook, slow cook, sauté, steam, rice, yogurt, and keep warm — give me tons of flexibility, so I can make anything from soups and rice to yogurt or steamed veggies without juggling multiple pots. It cooks stuff quickly (way faster than my old slow cooker) and cleanup is easy because the pot and lid are dishwasher safe. The progress indicator on the front is a nice touch too since I can see where it is in the cooking cycle at a glance. It’s not perfect — the lack of a detachable power cord and fewer accessories out there can be annoying — but overall it’s very handy, user-friendly, and a great small-space multitasker that I reach for almost every day.

I love it! Cooks thoroughly and efficiently. It's a large size so it's great for feeding a family or cooking for a party. The quality of the instant pot is great and comes with thorough instructions. It's also easy to clean as you can take out the inner pot. The one down side is it does take up a lot of space so if you have a small counter top like me it's something you'll have to store elsewhere. Overall I think it's worth the price and works really well. I recommend it!

The wide shape of this Instant Pot is a total game changer. I’ve owned other models before, but this one fits so much more because of the wider diameter. Whole chicken, racks of ribs, large cuts of meat — everything fits without awkward folding or cutting. That alone makes this upgrade worth it. Cooking performance is exactly what I expect from Instant Pot: fast, even, and reliable. Pressure cooking is smooth, sauté space is generous, and it reduces cooking time for big meals without sacrificing tenderness. The pot is also easier to stir in because it’s not tall and narrow like older versions. If you cook whole poultry, soups in bulk, or one-pot family meals, this is the perfect size and shape. Plenty of room, less hassle, and more versatility. Highly recommend for anyone who wants more space to cook real full-sized meals, not just chopped-down portions.

Love the size and the pink color. So, much easier to work with and clean than the larger version. The sauté function does run pretty hot so don’t take your eyes off it. Did a pot roast almost the same size as the bottom of the pot in 75 min, on pressure cook setting. Took it out and set it aside to rest then put all the vegetables in the pot and pressure cooked for 30 min (could have done for less time) Probably could have done meat for 60 min and been fine. It’s nice and light and so much more convenient than trying to lug around the big one especially when there is only two of us now. It made more than enough for at least 4 people. So, unless you have a huge family or like tons of leftovers then this is great for 2-4 people easy. The directions for pressure cooking say to use a minimum of 3 cups of liquid but I believe this would be incorrect as it would have filled the pot over 3/4 full when you add ingredients. From what information I could gather on the internet you should only need a minimum of 1 cup liquid. Which I think sounds more correct because I split the difference and added almost 2 cups and in the end after done cooking I had probably 4 cups of liquid when all cooked. But overall very happy with the machine and it’s quick cooking time. It’s a great quality machine and was on sale so a steal of a deal. Definitely great value for the money

I absolutely love this Instant Pot. The 6-quart size is perfect for my family, and the 7-in-1 functions make cooking so much easier. I use it for pressure cooking, rice, soups, and stews all the time. It saves me a lot of time, and the food always comes out great. Definitely worth it.

Arrived several days ago and I was excited to use. There are a few convenience features I miss from my 6qt, to include temp choice and a removable cord for storage purpose. No recipe book unfortunately, so I simply half my normal meal ingredients. Otherwise I haven’t had a problem with this smaller version IP. I made spaghetti as the meal test and found it easier to work with given the shorter height of unit. The steam release tab is a thoughtful feature as I have burned myself previously using the original version. This unit works quietly when on; I even had to go closer to hear if my food was cooking! It is aesthetically pleasing and the optional color choice is a plus. I am content with my purchase thus far and looking forward to preparing my next meal.

"I'm obsessed with my Instant Pot RIO Mini! 😍 It's the perfect size for my small kitchen and does SO many things - pressure cooks, slow cooks, sautés, and more. The 7-in-1 functionality is a game-changer. I've made some amazing recipes with it already, like quick chicken tacos and hearty lentil soup. The app has tons of recipes too. Compact and easy to use!" "Cleaning is a breeze too - the pot and lid are dishwasher safe. The mini size means it's easy to store away when not in use. I've been using it almost daily and love how versatile it is. Definitely recommend for singles, couples, or small families!"

Premier essai...du simple riz Basmati et OHHHH !! plus jamais de cuiseur à riz ! 😃 Je suis contente de ce petit appareil. J'ai aussi le mastodonte InstantPot duo Crisp Ultimate Lid mais je ne l'ai presque jamais utilisé à cause de sa couleur, sa grosseur et son poids (en fait je n'ai fait que du yogourt). Celui-ci le Rio Mini est super léger et le blanc s'harmonise bien plus dans ma cuisine. Je déplore cependant le prix beaucoup plus élevé pour un blanc, de là une étoile de moins.

I purchased the Instant Pot recently, and it has genuinely improved my daily cooking routine. The multi-function options are very well-designed — pressure cooking, sautéing, slow cooking, and steaming all work flawlessly. Rice, biryani, dal, soups, and even boiled vegetables are cooked perfectly with consistent results. The stainless-steel inner pot is sturdy and easy to clean, unlike non-stick pots that wear out quickly. I also appreciate the safety features: lid lock, pressure release valve, and auto temperature control. The appliance feels premium, user-friendly, and energy-efficient. Overall, the Instant Pot is a reliable, time-saving kitchen appliance, especially for busy households. Totally worth the purchase.

The performance of the Instant Pot is exceptional. One of the biggest advantages of the Instant Pot is how much time it saves. Meals that would typically require hours of cooking can be ready in a fraction of the time. Pros: Multi-functional: combines several appliances into one Time-saving: cooks meals quickly and efficiently Easy to clean with dishwasher-safe parts Consistently tender and flavorful results, especially for pressure cooking Compact and modern design Cons: The learning curve can be a bit steep for beginners Limited capacity in smaller models

The product was too heavy compared to my 6qt IP, can I return this?

Muy buena y práctica. Tal como se ve en la foto. Por su tamaño muy funcional.
