6QT at minimum if it's your main machine.
Otherwise, as a side-dish or rice cooker, this one would probably suffice.
You can only safely fill the pot 1/2-2/3 the way without worrying of clogging the steamer valve at the top of these Instant Pots, so the problem with the mini is that you only have 2/3 of this tiny pot to actually fill with food. Foods with a high propensity of foaming are even worse so must be limited to avoid blockage. This severely limits the amount of food or types of food that you can cook in a little one.

Depends if you want leftovers or not. It's subjective. The pots work the same.
Depends on what you're making, and how big your family is. A batch of soup or yogurt.. or even rice would be perfect in this size - for any size family. Dinners would be small & simple - especially for those who are single, or even an older couple whose kids have grown up & moved out. However, a meatloaf or hot wings for a family would obviously require one of the larger sizes. :-D
*facepalm* Apologies, Cujobob... totally missed your reply when I posted mine - basically said the exact same thing you did. :-/. Sorry.
