Reviewer verdict

Across 23 YouTube reviews, the Instant Pot Duo Crisp with Ultimate Lid 6.5QT earns an Index score of 4.1/5, ranking #37 among Air Fryers. Reviewers most often praise its features/presets, cooking performance, ease of use/cleaning, while the most common criticisms concern ease of use/cleaning, design/appearance.

Reviewers praise the Duo Crisp with Ultimate Lid for packing many cooking functions and presets into one appliance, with versatility and TenderCrisp/EvenCrisp performance mentioned repeatedly (around 60 pro mentions for features and 33 for cooking performance). Many highlight the one-touch programs, dual lids/ultimate lid design, and built-in presets for tasks like yogurt, sous-vide, dehydrate and air frying, and note it replaces multiple appliances (value/space saving noted across categories). Ease of use and cleaning come up positively as well, with several reviewers calling out dishwasher-safe parts, a user-friendly control panel, and the convenience of a single lid or hinged lid in many comments (about 30 mentions). Capacity, solid build and safety features are also commonly noted, with multiple reviewers pointing to the 6.5 QT family-sized capacity and stainless-steel pot as strengths.

Criticisms center on usability and maintenance: many reviewers report lid/jamming issues, tricky cleaning around the inner lid and exposed heating element, and the weight/bulk of lids or the overall unit (14 mentions on cleaning, 9 on design). Some reviewers feel air-fry performance can be inferior to a dedicated air fryer or that certain presets are missing or limited, requiring manual programming (8 mentions each for cooking performance and features). Durability worries appear in a few comments about non-removable gaskets or small plastic parts that can break, and a smaller number note steam-release/safety concerns and counterspace fit issues.
