Score: 75/100
Instant Pot Duo 7-in-1
Score: 82/100Rankings
The Instant Pot Duo 8-quart model offers a spacious cooking volume and a wide array of 13 smart programs for versatile meal preparation. Its bulkier footprint and weight can be cumbersome in smaller kitchens. Best suited for larger households seeking an all-in-one electric cooker.
The Presto 01362 is a 6-quart stovetop pressure cooker built with a tri-clad stainless steel base for fast, even cooking. It lacks automated controls and has strict fill-level limits, which can be less convenient for some users. Best for cooks who prefer a durable, manual stovetop cooker with broad stovetop compatibility.

Professional reviews are not directly cited in the available sources; however, Presto's official materials highlight the cooker’s robust stainless‑steel construction, rapid heating performance, and a 12‑year warranty as indicators of quality and reliability.
No specific consumer reviews were found in the research data, so overall user sentiment cannot be detailed.
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.
