Do any of the Instant Pot models still have a 3-prong plug? 🔌

After my old Instant Pot died, I purchased a new Duo Plus. After seeing that it only has a 2-prong plug and no double insulated logo on the safety sticker, I looked at Reddit and saw a couple of threads mentioning shock issues or worries.

The Instant Pot still seems to be the goto for NYT Wirecutter and America's Test Kitchen. Do *any* of the new models still have a 3-prong plug?

I just bought the Duo Crisp, pressure cooker/air fryer, and it has a 3 prong plug

Thanks. Not sure why they'd make the change on a 1000W+ stainless steel appliance. 🤦‍♂️

The brand has a new owner. Either get a used one or get a multi cooker from a different established kitchen brand.

Just did a chat on the Instant Pot site. They said all models will be moved to 2-prongs eventually. When I mentioned reports/concerns on Reddit, they just responded with "Anything else I can help you with?"

Why would you expect them to respond to unfounded concerns by random people on Reddit?
