UPDATE: I made Moroccan Lamb Tagine from the cookbook included with my IP. It was PHENOMENAL!!! I paired it with cardamom jasmine rice and yogurt sauce. It tasted authentic. The meat fell off the bone. My husband said it was better than our favorite restaurant's. He said, "Okay,...I'm sold on the IP! Why would I ever want to go out to a restaurant when you can cook like this? You're going to make me fat!" (earlier that day he had complained about the price of the IP and asked me why I couldn't just cook it on the stove). I think I may have screwed myself out of going to nice restaurants for date night...Darn you IP!
I'll upgrade if IP ever comes out with a WiFi IP that can hold 7 quart jars and still reach 15psi. Otherwise, the Ultra does everything I need. I specifically chose this model for the "Ultra" function, which allows me to set temperature parameters other than the preset buttons. I don't need the WiFi IP because the Ultra has a time delay function...and who really needs to control or check their crockpot from a phone app? The whole reason you use a crockpot is to set it and forget it, right? Although I like the sous vide function and 15psi capability of the Max, the Ultra can still sous vide using the Ultra function. The Max isn't available in an 8qt size, so it can only fit 4 pint jars for canning, which is kind of useless. Plus, the reviews stated the Max takes too long to heat up compared to the other models, and the sous vide and 15psi functions were "suspect." So, I'll let IP work out those bugs before I upgrade. For the price point, the Ultra gives me the best value for my money.
PREVIOUSLY: I received my 8 qt Instant Pot Ultra five days earlier than expected. GREAT JOB shipping it quickly and safely! It's in perfect condition and all the extras were included.
I did the initial test run, as suggested. It worked well. I will be cooking sous vide steaks tonight using the Ultra function, yogurt tomorrow using the program button, and pressure cooking something from the IP cookbook tomorrow night. I'll update my review to let you know how it worked.
I'm so glad I chose the 8 qt over the 6 qt. even though we're empty nesters. It takes up less space than my previous crockpot. I plan on using my IP for weekly food prep and daily meals. This size will be perfect!
I plan on buying all the IP accessories rather than the offbrand ones due to some of the problems others have encountered. I'll update my review in a month or so to let you know how they all work.

YES, IT'S AS GOOD AS THEY SAY!
UPDATE: I made Moroccan Lamb Tagine from the cookbook included with my IP. It was PHENOMENAL!!! I paired it with cardamom jasmine rice and yogurt sauce. It tasted authentic. The meat fell off the bone. My husband said it was better than our favorite restaurant's. He said, "Okay,...I'm sold on the IP! Why would I ever want to go out to a restaurant when you can cook like this? You're going to make me fat!" (earlier that day he had complained about the price of the IP and asked me why I couldn't just cook it on the stove). I think I may have screwed myself out of going to nice restaurants for date night...Darn you IP!I'll upgrade if IP ever comes out with a WiFi IP that can hold 7 quart jars and still reach 15psi. Otherwise, the Ultra does everything I need. I specifically chose this model for the "Ultra" function, which allows me to set temperature parameters other than the preset buttons. I don't need the WiFi IP because the Ultra has a time delay function...and who really needs to control or check their crockpot from a phone app? The whole reason you use a crockpot is to set it and forget it, right? Although I like the sous vide function and 15psi capability of the Max, the Ultra can still sous vide using the Ultra function. The Max isn't available in an 8qt size, so it can only fit 4 pint jars for canning, which is kind of useless. Plus, the reviews stated the Max takes too long to heat up compared to the other models, and the sous vide and 15psi functions were "suspect." So, I'll let IP work out those bugs before I upgrade.

I was sceptical but decided to try ( a different brand that was on sale) to see if I liked this method of cooking. My first purchase came with a non-stick inner pot. It was a nightmare to clean. I returned it and ended up ordering this model from Amazon. Two days after my Instant Pot arrived, we took it camping with us. I made an 8lb turkey breast with trimmings while camping. My husband loves turkey dinners and if the meat was dry or tasted boiled, he wouldn't have like it. His words exactly, "This is the best turkey breast you've ever made!" He was right, it was juicy and absolutely delicious. My next test, since I'm Italian, was to make my own tomato sauce and meatballs. I followed directions that were for making the sauce. Prior to using the Instant Pot, I air fried my meatballs vs. putting them under a broiler. (Another device I love, my air fryer) I set my Instant Pot as directed and waited for the sauce and meatballs. As a rule, when I make a big Italian sauce, it sits on top of the stove, I'm tethered to the house to stir it. I don't like cooking sauce in a crock pot, the taste is diluted, in my opinion. When I opened the Instant Pot to check my sauce and meatballs I was so pleasantly surprised. It had thickened properly and the meatballs were cooked through. The taste test was what sold me. DELICIOUS! The pressure cooking perfectly infused the flavors as if it had been cooking all day. I had company coming that day, started my sauce and meatballs at 4:15 and we sat down for dinner before 6PM. I plan to buy another inner pot but already purchased an Instant Pot mini to add to the bigger one. I've since made chicken with rice, fresh beets (last night and OMG, fabulous), green beans and many other vegetables. I can't wait to use it for soups and stews as the weather gets cold. The Instant Pot is very quiet, easy to clean and attractive sitting on my counter. LOVE THIS APPLIANCE! Price, shipping and quality were all perfect. Thanks, Amazon!
