Summary
A 6.5 qt, 1500 W multi-cooker whose single lid both pressure cooks and air fries, covering 13 functions. Before you buy, confirm which variant the listing is for: Instant sells a non-WiFi model (SKU 140-0068-01) and a WiFi model (SKU 140-0060-01), and seller pages do not always separate the two.
Strengths
- One lid covers both pressure cooking and air frying, so the two modes share a single footprint.
- Thirteen built-in functions take in pressure cooking, air frying, slow cooking, steaming, yogurt, bread proofing, dehydrating and more.
- Automatic Keep Warm holds food for up to 10 hours after a cycle.
- The steam release is button-controlled, WhisperQuiet and QuietMark certified.
- The display shows “OK to Open Lid” once it is safe to open.
- The lid, steam rack, accessories, pot and pressure cooking cover all go in the dishwasher.
Weaknesses
- Switching from pressure to air fry mid-recipe means a full depressurization, then removing the hot pressure cooking cover with oven mitts.
- Quick steam release should not be used for fatty, oily, thick or high-starch foods or anything that expands, like beans and grains.
- Error codes C1/C3 (faulty sensor), C4 (faulty control panel connection) and C6 (faulty pressure switch) need Consumer Care; there is no owner-level fix.
- The EvenCrisp oil and speed claims are manufacturer statements, not confirmed by any independent test.
- The warranty is not transferable, covers the original owner only, and does not cover shipping costs under warranty service.
- The listed weight conflicts: 23.32 lb in the official manual, 18 lb in a retailer listing.

Full research notes and sources
Pressure cooking and the lid
Pressure mode needs the protective cover over the air-fry element. Instant’s UK documentation for this hardware line puts High pressure at 10.2–11.6 PSI and Low at 5.8–7.2 PSI. Pressure cook with at least 2 cups / 500 mL of liquid, never fill past the PC Max 2/3 line, and deglaze and wipe the inner pot bottom and heating element before use. The quick steam release suits most dishes, but not fatty, oily, thick or high-starch foods or anything that expands, like beans and grains. When the cycle ends, the display shows “OK to Open Lid” once it is safe.
Air frying: claims without measurements
The pressure cooking cover comes off for air frying; it gets hot, so use oven mitts. Instant’s EvenCrisp marketing says air frying uses 95% less oil than traditional deep frying and cooks up to 70% faster than traditional slow cooking methods. No independent test of this exact model was retrieved, so both figures stay marketing claims until someone measures them. The box includes a 2-in-1 steamer and air frying rack plus the pressure cooking cover.
Cleaning and upkeep
The steam rack, lid and accessories are top-rack dishwasher safe; the inner pot, pressure cooking cover and air frying rack are dishwasher safe. Wipe the outer pot interior and condensation rim with a barely damp cloth, dry all parts before storing, and inspect accessories and replace them if damaged.
Warranty, error codes and support
Instant Brands backs the cooker with a 1-year limited warranty from the later of purchase or delivery, original owner only and not transferable; repair or replacement is at its discretion, and the company states it does not cover shipping costs under warranty service. A replacement unit carries a fresh 12-month warranty. Error codes C1 and C3 indicate a faulty sensor, C4 a faulty control panel connection and C6 a faulty pressure switch; all route through Consumer Care at 1-800-828-7280 or support@instantpot.com. Availability of exact-model service parts is not confirmed, though Instant sells accessories and parts generally.
Is it worth it?
The verified case for buying is the spec sheet: 13 functions, a 6.5 qt pot, 1500 W, and keep warm that holds for 10 hours. What nobody can tell you yet is how well the air fryer crisps or how the cooker ages: no independent test and no owner discussion were retrieved, so treat those questions as open. If pressure cooking is the main job and air frying is a bonus, the numbers above are what you are paying for; if air frying is the reason to buy, wait for an independent measurement.
Which model this is
This page covers the Instant Pot Duo Crisp with Ultimate Lid 6.5QT, SKU 140-0068-01, model SLCO65000, black, without WiFi; the WiFi variant is SKU 140-0060-01 with the Instant Connect app. The US Amazon listing for this cooker is ASIN B0B1G5M31V, but Instant’s materials do not confirm which SKU that ASIN maps to — match the listing to the SKU before you buy. This is not the older two-lid Duo Crisp + Air Fryer 6/8 qt or the Crisp 11-in-1, which are different products.
