Instant Pot RIO 7-in-1 Multi-Cooker, 6 Qt
The verdict
The RIO is Instant Pot's modernized take on the classic 7-in-1: pressure cook, slow cook, rice, sauté, steam, yogurt, and warmer, in a 6-quart pot that serves about six. Versus the older Duo it adds an anti-spin inner pot that stays put when you stir, an easy-seal lid, and a larger angled display with a simplified button layout, plus an app with over 800 recipes.
Instant Pot RIO 7-in-1 Multi-Cooker, 6 Qt — about $119.99 at Amazon · 4.4★ from 2,800 ratings · the newer, simpler Instant Pot for cooks who want presets, not programming.

Blind details
Blind-shopper angle: one pot replaces a whole stovetop of pans, timers, and burner-watching — the beeps and presets do the monitoring. When reading reviews, listen for mentions of beep loudness and whether the buttons are easy to find by touch; the anti-spin pot matters more than it sounds, because a pot that rotates while you stir is a spill waiting to happen. A tactile bump dot on your most-used preset turns this into a one-touch cooker.
Honest caveats: there are no voice prompts — the display is visual, so favorite settings need marking by touch. It does not do sous vide or canning; the catalog's Instant Pot Pro covers those. As of October 2026.
