First, I spent a long time deciding on which pot to buy. I had almost decided on the basic Duo, because I don't think I'll ever sou-vide, and I don't bake often so don't care about the baking option. But I realized that if it was an option I would definitely forget to seal the lid! The Nova is basically the Duo but with an automatic sealing lid - totally worth it. Also an easier to read display, apparently, which I'm 100% in favor of since I'm old. I also went back and forth on 6 quart versus 3 quart. We're mostly 2 people, sometimes 3, so I easily could have gotten away with a 3, but decided on a 6 for three reasons: 1) most recipes are written for a 6 quart, 2) I LOVE leftovers, and 3) extra Holiday cooking capacity for guests.
So last week when I got the pot I put it all together and ran the water test, and immediately went online looking for recipes. I found a recipe for Spiced Red Lentil Sweet Potato soup, and other than sauteing the onion and garlic (right in the pot!) I just plopped in all of the ingredients, pressed the appropriate buttons and it was done in about 20 minutes. I started the recipe at 4:00 because that was when I finished the water test, and I was excited, but because of comments online I knew I could just leave it until we were ready to eat! So nice! When I opened it at 6 everything was hot and perfectly cooked and delicious!
Today we had a friend visiting who needed a snack because of low blood sugar. It was 3:30 and after giving him crackers and cheese I offered to make a cauliflower mac and cheese and it was so simple - just dump most of the ingredients, cook and then stir in the cheese. Again, so quick and easy, and delicious!
We won't be having any guests for Thankgiving this year thanks to Covid, but for the two of us I think I can put a turkey breast with some onions and herbs in the instant pot with potatoes above to steam, then make the gravy right in the pot from the drippings, mash the potatoes and DONE. Roasted brussel sprouts and pecan pie in the oven. Stove top stuffing or home-made stuffing in the slow cooker. Easy peasy. I think this will be my easiest Thanksgiving EVER!
I'm looking forward to trying lots more recipes! If you're on the fence, go for it. If you're not going to sou-vide I can recommend the Duo Nova. Sometimes simpler is better. I can't help with your decision on the size, though. My first recipe made so much food I haven't had to do much cooking since! It definitely made me think the 3 quart would have been fine. But then there's Thanksgiving....
After reading the instruction booklets and following them, I was ready to try my first meal. Before receiving delivery of my new pot, I watched quite a few videos on You Tube. These helped a lot!! For my first meal, I cooked a couple of hamburger steaks with mashed potatoes and gravy and whole okra. It turned out fairly well and was so easy. Yes!! To be fair, my hamburger steaks were a little tough....I use 90/10 meat. So, I probably used the wrong amount of time. On the cooking chart I didn't see a time for hamburger steaks.....I'll do more research.
For my second meal, I cooked chicken noodle with green chilis and cheese soup. It was very easy and turned out well.
I realized that with a lot of meals I need some basic accessories, so I've been doing more shopping on Amazon. I've probably bought a lot of accessories that I won't use often, but have lots of ideas about things I want to cook in my new electric pot and want to have the tools to do them. It's fun and I'm wondering why I was so intimidated before buying one. I like the pot in pot cooking so the meat and sides can be done at the same time in the same pot.
I have questions, mostly about times, that I need to ask experienced instant pot users, but there seems to be a lot of help and information online. Also, trial and error will answer some of my questions.
The bottom line for this review is that, so far, the Instant Pot is a "winner" and easy to use. Since I had no experience at all and could start out cooking meals, that should speak for itself. I glad that I made this purchase and if the pot keeps working, I'll be happy. It has made cooking fun once again!

La compré para gastar menos dinero en energía: ahora el gas me rinde más y el recibo de la luz no ha subido.
Quería gastar menos tiempo en cocinar: La programo para que se encienda sola en la madrugada y tener frijoles recién hechos en la mañana. O la pongo a cocinar mientras hago otras cosas.
Amo mi olla. Todos deberían tener una.
Viene con un recetario del tiempo para cada tipo de alimentos y con ese es suficiente para sacarle provecho.
As other users mentioned regarding safety, i absolutely didn't find any issues. The instruction booklet is very clear and there are do's and dont's as with any electrical appliance. Obviously it should not be on or near a cooking range (other heat source). I followed all the safety instructions given in the booklet and its a breeze from there on.
There are many youtube videos explaining how to install it correctly, several recipes etc. I have using this several times in a day and totally stopped using my pressure cooker now.
Worth every penny and i wished i bought it earlier to save time and cleaning. I am now thinking to buy the airfryer lid as well.
