Wtf is this? You can still buy them and other instant pot products on Amazon. Not to mention they still sell well. I have had mine and use it almost daily for 5 years and the seals are still good. Easy to clean, easy to use.

I guess the hypercapitalist definition of failed is that people bought them, and then sales & revenue dropped. Like it would happen with a quality product.

Yep. I’ve had mine for 6 years and it’s still incredible. Luckily compatible sealing rings are still available from 3rd party vendors. Makes great Greek Yogurt, Chicken Soup, and Steel Cut Oats. And of course , it can make so much more.
It sucks that when you make something this good, you’re destined to put yourself out of business, meanwhile planned obsolescence works…

How is it a failure to make a product that a bunch of people love? Stop projecting

perhaps you could read the article, but the jist is that in this economic system the good product was so good that people bought it and then sales dried as nobody needed another, rendernng the company bankrupt.

Sounds like a success to me

Sadly I lack an account for the Atlantic, but I am going to assume that they were bought out.

I can recommend the Sage/breville “fast and slow go 6L” cooker if you cannot or don’t want to get the instant pot. I have had mine for 2 years now and its solid build and i have used it a lot. Makes excellent youghurt and risotto among others.

The thing is, these are just a pressure vessel with a timer and a heating element. They are all good unless they are very poorly made.

Also very precise temperature control. The sage one can do sous vide as well and it’s also needed for yoghurt.
