Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Several of my friends are Instant Pot fanatics. When I went to Amazon to look for one for myself a few weeks ago, the Multi Pot showed up as an Amazon Choice at a much lower price point. After reading the positive reviews, I decided to risk the off-brand purchase. Shortly after I hit "buy," an IP friend sent me a Fakespot rating of F, saying all of these rave MP reviews are fake. I was worried. Nope. The reviews are real. I've used my MP 8-9 times already and this thing is great! I've made spaghetti, macaroni and cheese, chicken tikka masala, chicken korma, hard boiled eggs, and several casserole-style meals. I have 25 other recipes in Pinterest on deck! Easy to use and I see no significant difference from my friends' IPs other than the outer pot is a darker color, you get a bunch of free (nice quality) accessories with MP, and it is at a much lower price point. I called customer service the first day because I had a question about the steam release knob. They answered immediately and the woman who I spoke with was very helpful and friendly. My only issue is that the outer pot arrived with a dent on the back -- probably because I got a Warehouse Deal. I called Amazon about that and they offered me a credit. My overall experience with the Multi Pot is that it is a terrific appliance and that the company offers excellent support. The raves reviews are real. We are a real family with two hungry teenage boys in Wichita, Kansas, not fake reviewers. If you're on the fence, trust your fellow shoppers and go for it!
