I had another brand electric pressure cooker which I liked and then daughter talked me into the instant pot. I really love it and wouldn't trade it for anything. Its so much better than the other. I would recommend that if you get one for you to get the 8qt. duo. the extra dollars are so worth it. It is just me and hubby and I use it at least 3 times a week and making the yogurt is so easy and is way better tasting than store bought.
