Fissler Vitaquick 8.5-Quart Pressure Cooker vs Instant Pot 140-0021-01

Too bad there are only two in the household because this thing is large enough to supply cooked meals for Coxey's Army.

The air fryer option was the reason I decided to go for it. Now, there is a problem - the separate air fryer lid needs to be kept somewhere, and that, in my kitchen, is a problem. As an air fryer, it is not bad, but it is a smaller one and size is a huge thing for air fryers, so that the air can circulate correctly. It does fit under the cabinets with the lid on, but it gets to be a pain if you need to open it to turn the food

The only sound is when the valve seals releasing some steam before it seals. The pressure gauge (high or low) is easy to see and read. The only issue has been determining cooking times for beans. The first time I cooked them longer than needed so they were softer than I prefer for soup

My initial impressions are Instant Pot is of slightly higher quality even if they look made at the same manufacturing plant. The finish seems better, the parts seem more solid, and the interactive interface seems more robust. I preferred the astetics of the Ninjas interface, but that's not nearly as important as cooking. The Instant Pot reminds you to when turn your food- a nice feature so you don't have to watch the clock
