Fagor multi-cooker 6qt for $35. This is comparable to an instant pot. Seems like a good deal.
- full stainless steel inside pot
- yogurt function
- can sautee, steam, cook rice

This is an excellent brand pressure cooker, but I would avoid it.
It's a pity what happened to them.
Here is a very positive "better than Instant Pot" [goodhousekeeping.com] review from Good Housekeeping [goodhousekeeping.com]. Its a slightly different model number...Fagor says this sale model is an improved version. .
Whether its 1 year mfg warranty is valid, and if you can get gaskets is questionable...but this is definitely the cheapest premium brand multi-pot I have seen. I owned a Fagor stove top pressure cooker, and it was great.
If the gaskets are not available...150 uses would still get me more than 3 years..so the price per year would be fine. GHK says it reaches pressure 15 minutes faster than the Instant Pot...so in 150 uses it would save me 40 hours before it died
The Fagor USA website shows replacement parts including the gasket for this 6 quart available fororder here. [fagoramerica.com]
The large 8 Quart Model is also on sale for $70.

*UPDATE* Dug up some newegg gift cards I had sitting around and ordered one. Will use the extra pot and save the electronics for when mine dies.
Citi credit cards will automatically add 2 years to an items warranty..most other cards do at least a year. Ask yourself if it's worth paying 20% of the items purchase price on the off chance it might break outside your free choice (credit card).
The gasket will last quite a while if you 1) Don't put it in the dishwasher..hand wash...and rub some cooking oil on it so it's not constantly wearing when you put lid on and off....but replacement "universal" gaskets should be available on amazon. I know I ordered a kit that had instant pot accessories and it included two additional gaskets that fit my clone perfectly.
I originally purchased a home depot model for $60 that came with stainless steel pot but it had a glitch that would not let it cook over 30 minutes(it switched to keep warm mode)....so I paid $40 for a cheap insignia model that had a non stick pot, swapped for the stainless steel one I had already and sold the original to a friend who has been well pleased with the home depot on (yes I told him about the 30 minutes but all you have to do is cancel and start again to cooking....he was fine with that for $40 to cover my costs...now here's a new one that comes with the pot already for $5 less. Seriously there is not alot to these things..the original creator made one in his garage for his family. (interesting story you can google).
