The Instant Pot DUO — the model that sells like hotcakes on Amazon Prime Day every year — has 28,075 five-star reviews. I haven’t left my own rating, but if I did, I probably would also give it five stars. I use my machine to make hard-boiled eggs once a week and, lots of other times, to cook ribs, chicken broth, and more in a fraction of the stovetop cooking time.

With sales in the millions, and thousands of customer reviews on Amazon, it’s clear many find immense value in this product. (This device has gone from cult-favorite cooking gadget to an expected tool in a well-equipped home kitchen.) But not everyone feels so positively about the machine. Some folks might consider it no better than their regular stovetop pressure cooker, or even their slow cooker. And some folks (1,486 people, to be exact) have found the small appliance worthy of only a one-star review.

Even after dozens and dozens of beautifully cooked hard-boiled eggs, I still wondered what those people had to say and what I could learn from their not-so-favorable reviews. So I looked!

Warrior Fit Testimonials

First, I want to say thank you for convincing me to do Tabata! I was struggling to lose weight and Finally I found something that helped! I really appreciate your coaching! - Craig T.

Ever since I was convinced to do Tabata I have seen huge results, I lost 6 pounds and gained energy in the first 3 weeks. I have been working out for 3 months before I decided to do Tabata and I struggled to lose weight. At first I thought "How am I losing weight by bringing my heart rate up then cooling down then bringing it up again?" I don’t know how it works but it does! Thank you!! - Theresa F.

The first day of Tabata, I wondered WHAT AM I DOING - I AM 56 !! Five weeks later I knew that it was what I needed. I learned that I could push myself well beyond my comfort zone and feel good later. I have a marked improvement in physical as well as emotional endurance. - Lyn C.

When I was first told about Tabata I was very excited from the word go, however that excitement stemmed from the fact that I had no clue what it meant. I missed the first week of class b/c I was traveling for work so when I came in during the 2nd week I had some making it up to do. It was hard at first b/c my body wasn't used to working out at such a fast pace, but once I got into a rhythm I started to feel very good. These classes are no joke. If you stick with it you will leave there feeling stronger, healthier and overall better about yourself and what you've accomplished. I would recommend these classes to anyone. Darrin is a great trainer and he'll keep you going with his energy. - Jami L.
