Instant Pot Smart WiFi

The Instant Pot Smart WiFi sends mobile notifications when cooking is complete, and you can see the status of your food from anywhere through the Instant Pot app.

While the Wi-Fi feature is nice, it really doesn't make the Instant Pot any easier to use.

Instant Pot Smart WiFi

Getting notifications to a phone is a luxury that comes with this Instant Pot, but if you can live without that, other Instant Pot models will cook just as well for less money.
