Instant Pot Models?

About a year ago I replaced my Presto stove top pressure cooker that I had been using for at least ten years. The new one has been a real headache to use.

I have to use the edge of a knife to get the stopper lined up and let it build steam. That was the directions in the manual. This summer I had it explode when the stopper popped out while cooking.Today I used it and the bottom handle is loose and there is no way to tighten it.

So I am putting in the trash tonight and ordering an Instant Pot.

I am somewhat intrigued by the Bluetooth model. Has anyone tried that one? I live alone and do not make big meals, so the smaller the better.  Instant Pot IP-DUO60 says it is the best seller on Amazon.

Anyone have a recommendation for which one to buy?

The bluetooth interested me too but since I had never had a pressure cooker, I couldn't justify the extra money in case I didn't like it.  The   Instant Pot IP-DUO60 7 in 1 is what I have and love!  Can't wait to see what you get :)

I've got 2 of the 7 in 1 and I love it. If you can - wait for a sale... They have it very often.  I bought one full pruce,,the second one when it was a lost 50 % off.. 

I love mine. Even if just making chicken soup or beef stew..  

Any particular place for the sales like Amazon or in stores?

They had it on black Friday for 78..or so. But even at 115 is a good deal... Saves so much time and energy.. .

I also invested in an extra silicone ring, so I can make 2-3 dishes in one day if needed. The silicone ring does retain the odor of what you cook. I had to wash mine 2 times in the dishwasher to get some of my Indian food flavor out of it. 

I have been checking prices regularly on Amazon since Xmas, and no sales. Today is the best new price at $114. Normally it is $118. Now the warehouse deals are different- those can go as low as $65. I am just kicking myself for not picking one up on the Black Friday deal. Even at full price though it is totally worth it.

I got the 7-in-1 Instapot because I wanted the yogurt function. That is what made me even buy it. It works great. I also like the saute function for browning or thickening sauces after. After I bought it I found out you can look at there warehouse deals on Amazon and they have them sometimes. These are returns Amazon can't sell as new. I have bought off the warehouse before and never had a problem. Would have saved me like $40. Stock changes though so you have to keep on checking.

I love techie stuff (tech teacher here), but I didn't feel like it offered enough at that price point. You can't monitor it unless you are in range, limited capability... for now. I think future models will offer more, but for now I think the duo 7-1 model is the way to go.
