The Instant Pot Duo is the most popular and is also one of the best-selling models. The Duo 80 is the eight-quart variant with a capacity that is good enough for 8 to 12 people. It can replace seven appliances as it delivers the same functionalities of a rice cooker, pressure cooker, slow cooker, yogurt maker, steamer, saute pan, and warmer. You’ll have no problem preparing a variety of dishes with 14 pre-set programs while you can just as easily refer to the Instant Pot app for over a thousand recipes, videos, and personalized grocery lists.

Cooking in this fully sealed container not only makes the process 70% faster than traditional methods but also guarantees that the food’s flavor, nutrients, and aromas remain intact. It even has the means to monitor pressure and temperature, keep time, and adjust heating intensity duration to help you achieve consistent and perfect results.

A tedious cleanup would be the least of your worries with a finger-print resistant exterior and since all its components and accessories are dishwasher-safe. Take away the hassle of home cooking by getting your hands on the Instant Pot Duo 80 for only $99 instead of $140 on Amazon.

Instant Pot Max

The Max, like most models from Instant Pot, can combine quite a few kitchen appliances. You’ll just as instantly get nine functions in one device along with eight built-in programs. You’ll be able to maximize its use for pressure canning with its ability to reach a higher pressure level up to 15 psi on max pressure mode as much as you are able to ferment, simmer, slow cook, sear, and boil with the full temperature spectrum. Needless to say, you’ll open up yourself to a wider range of recipes with the Instant Pot app.

This six-quart multicooker also sets itself apart with NutriBoost technology that adds movements or a boiling motion to the food during pressure cooking. This sort of auto-stirring function breaks down cells to ensure maximum extraction of flavor, resulting in enhanced food taste and texture. It also comes with 13 proven safety mechanisms including the new automated venting and lid lock as well as accurate temperature control for sous vide cooking.

Ease of use is ensured with a large touchscreen and dial for seamless programming and to reflect changes you made for time, temperature, altitude, and pressure level. It typically sells for $200, but Amazon’s 36% price cut makes it available for only $127.

Why you should buy the Xgimi MoGo 2 portable projector
Xgimi has several entries in our list of the best projectors, including the Xgimi MoGo 2 Pro as the best portable 1080p projector. The Xgimi MoGo 2 is its more affordable version, and while it's not as powerful as the Xgimi MoGo 2 Pro with 1920 x 1080 resolution, it's still a pretty worthwhile purchase, especially with Amazon's discount. The Xgimi MoGo 2 is capable of up to 1280 x 720 resolution, but at the same maximum brightness of 400 ISO Lumens as its cousin, and it also offers Intelligent Screen Alignment and Intelligent Obstacle Avoidance, which makes setting up the projector much easier.
