The consensus
What reviewers found
Synthesized across the trust-weighted source mix below.
Across the reviewers we read, the 8-quart Duo Plus is the family-batch choice, and Serious Eats (seriouseats.com) lends it specific credibility by confirming that the WhisperQuiet release settings were definitely quieter than a typical pressure cooker—a rare independently-noted feature. Walmart verified reviewers call out fast cooking, easy cleanup, and excellent rice, and r/instantpot owners report quick pressure build with no steam leaks and a useful quick-cool tray.

That being said, it's still a very good slow pressure cooker and can do a good job with rice and yogurt once you get the technique down.
I loved it, especially for pressure cocking. There it has the advantage of a pulsed release. So you can set it and forget, it releases itself ...
