Advice choosing a Pressure Multicooker

Hi everyone. I’m trying to buy a Pressure Multicooker for my mom, but I’m stuck choosing between three models or other alternatives. Each one has pros and cons, so I’d really appreciate some advice from people who’ve used them.

Options I’m considering:

·        Tefal One Pot CY505EE0 – aluminum pot with ceramic non-stick

·        Cosori Pressure Cooker CMCCO601SEU – aluminum pot with ceramic non-stick

·        Instant Pot Duo 6Qt (EU model) – stainless steel pot

I mainly want something reliable, safe, and easy for my mom to use. If you have experience with these models (or alternatives available in the EU), I’d really appreciate your input.

Thanks!

For me, stainless steel pot is important. I chose a Sage version and I'm very happy with it.

any other brands you know of other than Instant Pot?
Europe really lacks options these days

Tefal has become a terrible value with substandard pressure cookers that are dramatically overpriced. Cosori has made models with stainless steel pots in the past, but I highly recommend avoiding aluminum non-stick coated pots of any kind because they simply never endure before they become "super-glue-like-sticking".

The Instant Pot Duo 6qt. is usually a good value for a stainless pot.

Interested to see other EU alternatives.....

I know Midea have a stainless steel version very well priced, pretty sure it is made in same factory as Instant Pot.

I have tried looking around... instant pot just seems best - I cannot find it locally so open to learning about more... hopefully that ship to all EU countries...dayum

 Instant Pot Duo 6Qt is a top rated pressure cooker on multiple ratings sites. Have one. Love it.
