As you can see, they are both fantastic and affordable pressure cookers – in fact, they are THE most popular and best-rated electric pressure cookers on the market!
A lot of people get a little concerned when looking at the Power Pressure Cooker because it’s one of those As Seen on TV products – meaning they think it’s more hype than quality.
That’s not true, the Power Pressure cooker is a very good pressure cooker..
BUT I will tell you this, and make of it what you will –
The Instant Pot Pressure Cooker comes with a 1-year manufacturer warranty. The Power Pressure Cooker? Only a 60-day warranty.
That’s something to think about because I think it speaks volumes as to how long each company expects their cookers to last.
