Instant Pot Duo Mini
Score: 77/100Rankings
The Instant Pot Duo Mini 3-quart provides compact convenience with 11 smart programs and a dishwasher-safe stainless-steel pot. Its limited capacity and lower power restrict larger meals and speed. Perfect for singles, couples, or travel.
The Instant Pot Duo 8-quart model offers versatile 7-in-1 cooking with a large capacity and durable stainless-steel inner pot. Its size and weight make it less portable and it lacks smart connectivity. Ideal for families needing a single, all-purpose cooker.

Professional reviewers describe the Duo Mini as a "cute little model" perfect for RVs and small households, praising its rapid cooking, dual pressure, and 11 smart programs while noting its limited capacity makes it less versatile than larger models.
Everyday users consistently appreciate the Mini's compact footprint, quick cooking of rice and side dishes, and easy-to-use interface, but they frequently lament the insufficient volume for family meals and the need to down-scale recipes originally written for larger pots.
