Instant Pot has done an excellent job of taking the humble pressure cooker and turning it into a worldwide phenomenon, and if you have yet to hop on the Instant Pot train (or want to upgrade to a new model), now is as good of a time as ever. Fall and Winter are a perfect time to cook up stews, chilis, soups, and large-format meals using Instant Pot.
When shopping for an Instant Pot, you’ll want to consider two main things: which features you’ll use most often, and what size fits your family, cooking preferences, and, realistically, kitchen counter or storage space. Remember, also, that this simple device may replace two or three other appliances, actually clearing up space on your countertop or in your cabinet.
Throughout the year we've been keeping our eye on sales at Walmart, Williams Sonoma, Amazon, Bed Bath & Beyond, and more to help you find the most savings.
Here, the best deals on Instant Pots right now.

If you've outgrown your 6-quart Instant Pot and prefer something bigger, you're in luck because the relatively new Instant Pot Pro is on sale. A detailed screen shows you the cooking progress, and there are five customizable settings you can create based on what you cook most. The 28 settings make this one of the easiest Instant Pots to navigate, but it's the special features—like silicone stay-cool handles—that make this a must-have.

In case seven or nine functions weren’t enough, this 8-quart Instant Pot Duo adds two more options for you: air fry and dehydrate. You just have to switch out the pressure cooker lid for the air fryer lid, which contains a heater and fan, plus an air frying basket.
Our official review of the appliance found that the familiar design creates a seamless experience. “When a function is chosen by pressing a button, a tiny light above that button lights up, so it’s obvious what has been selected,” our tester said about the 10 options on the front of the machine, including steam, slow cook, air fry, bake, dehydrate, and more. Ultimately this two-in-one option was found to be a great deal and space-saver since it is cheaper and smaller than buying a pressure cooker and a separate air fryer.

"I decided to cook a small portion of pork ribs using both the Pressure Cook and Air Fry functions. I placed the ribs on the broiler/dehydrator rack because I wanted to get the sauce bubbly after cooking without overcooking the ribs. It worked well and was great for a quick dinner." — Donna Currie, Product Tester

One challenge with starting the Instant Pot journey is acquiring authentic accessories at a good deal. Now’s the time to grab this set of two stainless steel mesh steamer baskets. Perfect for steaming vegetables, clams, seafood and more. Raised feet keep your food out of the water and a hinged handle makes it easy to lower and remove the baskets. They work as strainers to clean the veggies first before they go into the steam!

Every Instant Pot fan knows you can do more than just cooking meat and soups inside—and this accessory takes it even further. It bakes perfectly moist and fluffy egg bites, but also muffins, cupcakes, and more since the non-stick silicone is heat resistant to 450 degrees.
While the pan with a lid is still on sale for cheap right now, it does not come with a rack. If you want to stack two on top of each other you will need to buy a rack separately.
$8.49 is the lowest price we’ve seen for this item.

The Instant Pot pressure cooker has pre-programmed settings for soup and broth, meat and stew, beans and chili, poultry, rice, porridge, multigrain, and yogurt. You can choose to sauté, steam, slow cook, or keep warm. You can also opt out of the programs and choose pressure levels and temperature to your liking. We tested this option and found that the temperature levels were handy, as was the versatility.
“This Instant Pot has its temperature and pressure sensors dialed in, resulting in precise results when cooking,” our tester said. “The Instant Pot Duo 60 7-in-1 Pressure Cooker is a solid performer, offering impressive temperature control and smart functionality in an easy-to-use package. You can’t go wrong with this model, which combines the proven performance of the iconic Instant Pot brand with an affordable price tag.”

By swapping this lid for the one that came on your 6-quart Instant Pot, you can turn the appliance into an air fryer and dehydrator since the heater and fan are built into the lid. Our official test found that despite the fact that this lid is not compatible with all models of Instant Pots, it is easy to life and is a convenient tool to transform one machine into an air fryer without having to buy another appliance.
The lowest price we've seen for this is $46.

Every Instant Pot comes with the bulky lid needed for safe pressure cooking. But one of the best aspects of the Instant Pot is its slow cooking abilities and that bulky lid ends up getting in the way (and maybe spilling some condensation on your countertop). Instead, pick up the tempered glass lid which not only has a vent for the steam, but also allows you to monitor what's happening inside.
$14 is the lowest price we've seen for this item.

Instant Pot is known for its countertop cooking machines, and this milk frother is included in the lineup. On sale right now, the latte, cappuccino, and macchiato maker may not make chili, chicken wings, meatloaf or other Instant Pot staples, but it does make the perfect addition to any at-home coffee bar, especially when it is on sale. We like it so much we think it's the best milk frother available.
