Why shoppers love it
Backed by a 4.6-star rating from more than 18,000 customer reviews, the Instant Pot Duo Nova makes a great addition to any kitchen setup. It’s also a solid choice for gifting, which any home chef is sure to love.
“We love our Instant Pot! It’s quickly become one of the most used small appliances in our household,” said one reviewer. “Made soup broth AND soup in under 3 hours for last night's dinner! I can’t wait to get more attachments to use with it so I can make even more!”
“I gave this particular model as a Christmas gift last year and now decided to get one for myself,” added another. “Great for making soups and stews. Still experimenting with the other features. Great appliance for every kitchen.”
Some users have noted that it drakes some time to learn how to correctly use all of the Instant Pot’s settings to cook, but the learning curve seems to be worth it.

“After doing some online research I decided to purchase one and try it. There are some things to learn about right at first (especially concerning the steam release - hence only four stars for safety features), but once I got the steps down it was very easy to use and really speeds up meal preparation,” reads one review.
The verdict
While an Instant Pot may require a bit of trial and error before you get the cooking methods down, it's a great tool to have on hand for busy weeknight dinners. You can set it and forget about it until the timer goes off, when you’ll end up with delicious and low-stress meals at home.
Since this Deal of the Day is only on for a limited time, you’ll want to add this multipurpose cooker to your cart before it’s gone, or shop the Instant Pot Ultra on sale for 30 per cent off if you’re already an Instant Pot pro.
