  • Amazon’s Prime Day Instant Pot deals typically focus on entry-level and mid-range models, which is fine for plenty of people out there.
  • Others prefer more feature-rich Instant Pots, and there are two terrific deals right now on Amazon that are basically early Prime Day deals.
  • The incredible Instant Pot Max Pressure Cooker has a hefty $50 discount, and the Instant Pot 8 Qt Aura Pro that almost never goes on sale is $23 off if you pick up a renewed model.

Prime Day brings with it thousands upon thousands of deep discounts on popular products, but there are some product categories in particular that people always seem to look for. Examples include TVs, wireless noise cancelling headphones, Amazon’s own hardware devices of course, and Instant Pots. That last one always seems to be at the top of everyone’s list. In fact, we can’t think of the last time Prime Day came and went without an Instant Pot model named as one of Amazon’s five best-selling deals.

Anyone who wants a very basic Instant Pot model like the Duo 60 should definitely wait for Prime Day because at least one entry-level and one mid-range Instant Pot go on sale at the lowest prices of the year. But if you want a better model with far more features, there are two deals available right now that you definitely need to check out.

The Instant Pot Max Pressure Cooker is on sale today with a massive $50 discount, dropping it to the lowest price we’ve seen all year. This 9-in-1 multi-use Instant Pot has all the modes you’d get in models like the Duo, but it also has features like built-in sous vide cooking and even a canning mode! If you don’t need quite that much oomph but you still want an Instant Pot with a sous vide feature (trust us, you definitely want sous vide!), definitely check out the Instant Pot 8 Qt Aura Pro, which is on sale for $126.86 if you buy a renewed model. It’s guaranteed to look and function just like a new one, and you have 90 full days to return it if you’re not satisfied.
