Fabulous!
The pot is lower and wider, but the cooking abilities are the same as my very large Instant pot that I dropped and broke the lid, therefore the replacement. I love the new shape! I use my Instant Pot every week. It is a major cooking tool for me. I especially like that this pot mimics my old one in every way, in particular the dial which is the best for finding the method of cooking, the time and the temperature. I know there are many instant pots to choose from, but this one suits my needs best. I highly recommend it. And while I am single, it would be perfect for a family. And if you have never used a pressure cooker, this pot is absolutely user friendly!

Great pressure cooker
As an ardent enthusiast of the Instapot brand, I am delighted to report that this particular model does not fall short of expectations. The expansive opening facilitates the accommodating of larger meats that were previously challenging to fit within the taller model. The versatility and exceptional quality of this pressure cooker are precisely what one would anticipate. The meat consistently achieves tenderness, while the vegetables are cooked to perfection.

Great For Bigger Items
Have really enjoyed using my new Instant Pot.I have been using it with silicone baking dishes to make multiple portions for breakfast and lunch.I have made multiple roasts now that can ben pulled apart by plastic spoons.Pros:Wide is much easier to get larger items in.Can put in silicone molds for easier clean up and making different variations of a meal (1 breakfast with sausage and 1 with bacon for example).Many options for how you want to cook and easy to set.Cons:Takes much longer to get to cooking pressure; even with pre-heating.Larger footprint.I would definitely recommend this for anyone interested in cooking with an instant pot.

Works great, until it doesn’t.
Purchased this pot at the end of May, really wanted it to work out because the size and shorter bowl is exactly what I was looking for. Used it less than five times before the pot started leaking steam and the steam release switch stopped working. Went through extensive troubleshooting with instant pot customer service and they determined the issue to be a bad heating element (??) and sent a new pot. I’m less than a month into the new pot and it’s already starting to leak and fail just like the last one.Not sure if this is poor seals, poor manufacturing, or poor quality control, but I’m over this thing and ready to move on to another brand. I won’t ruin another dinner trying to make it work.

Wide, shallow cooking surface is a huge improvement
I’ve been an Instant Pot user since 2016 and regularly use my 3-, 6,- and 8-quart models (sometimes at the same time!) to cook meals for my family. When I saw the RIO with its wide, shallow base, I knew I didn’t need it, but I also knew it would be super convenient. I received it as a Christmas gift and have been test driving it over the last month. Compared to the regular 8-quart model, it is so much easier to brown large batches of meat for things like chili. This pot has also become my go-to for making hard-boiled eggs, as I can fit in 24+ eggs with minimal stacking. For our family of six, this IP has been a great addition, and I find it to be more versatile than the regular 8-quart pot. The controls are a little different than the DUO models thanks to the digital screen, but I found it to be pretty easy to figure out based on using previous IPs. The cord does seem to be a bit short, so I need to clear a space closer to the outlet when I use it. One of my favorite features is the progress bar that shows when the IP is preheating and cooking. It’s always been a mystery to me what’s happening when the timer’s not counting down, so I like this addition on this model. I can’t speak yet to the longevity of the RIO compared to the DUO, but hopefully it will hold up as well as those over time!

LOVE,LOVE,LOVE!!!
I mostly use it for rice, quinoa, beans. I did steam sweet potatoes, but they were too mushy. I probably did it wrong. I find it’s much easier that the usual tall pot, because I’m short, and it’s easy for me to access. It works perfectly!

Finally Room for a Ham Bone!
I can make various bean and lentil soups with a full, tasty hambone in this! The controls are different, but easy to figure out. And all of the Instant Pot advantages of the traditional pots. Plus, it’s downright gorgeous. I’m very happy I ordered this model.

Seems to obviously be the best pressure cooker?
My Crockpot/Slow Cooker broke so I thought I would try a pressure cooker instead of replacing it with another slow cooker.I had no pressure cooker experience but I did research and watched a bunch of videos. At 7.5 quarts it is one of the largest pressure cookers I could find. I found several 8qt cookers, but they were all taller and deeper. After looking at all options, the Rio Wide format with the wider shallower pot seemed to be obviously the best pressure cooker. I was confused as to why anyone would even make a taller narrower pot. But what do I know, I have no pressure cooker experience. So I bought the Rio Wide.Now that I’ve had it for a couple of months and used about 10 times, I can say pressure cooking is the real deal. You can fully cook frozen chicken breasts in 12 minutes. You can fully cook dried beans and peas in 10-30 minutes with no soaking.And after using the Rio Wide, I can say that I cant imagine why anyone would choose a taller narrower pot over the Rio Wide pot. Features-wise, the Rio Wide works well, has a good user interface, and has what appears to be safer steam release than any other mechanism I’ve seen.
