This normally has been on sale for $29.99 every few months over the past couple of years. I believe this is the lowest price it has been the last few years [EDIT: it was also this price in May, and there was a deal for the 8qt version for $20 then as well--but for students: $20 8qt deal for students].

Be aware that only the exterior is stainless steel and the 6qt pot is a non-stick aluminum. This may work best for most people as it is a little easier to clean. However if you plan to sear items in the pot, this does not work as well as stainless steel pots like those used in an Instant-pot, which will cost twice as much or more (but its stainless steel pot will last longer).

I don't think wear and tear on the non-stick aluminum pot is as much an issue with these pressure cookers because one is not normally searing at very high temperatures or scratching its non-stick surface with metal utensils as one does with a frying pan or skillet. If you want to replace the aluminum pot with a stainless one (for example, if it wears out after 10 years), there are ones that fit which cost about $20.

The functions are very similar between this Insignia and an Instant Pot, though I think one function the Instant Pot has that the Insignia does not is a yogurt making setting where it can maintain a lower temperature.

EDIT: I would say that if you are often searing or browning your food in the same pot you use for pressure cooking, you may want to pay the extra $25-$30 for the Instant Pot now, since your food will have a better Maillard reaction and sear with a stainless pot, and you won;t have to worry about wearing out the non-stick coating on the Insignia pot. But for most pressure cooking you're likely to use with this, you're probably best served with the non-stick aluminum pot for ease of use.

No yogurt setting, correct. I have this 6 qt and really like it for the price. Fits instapot brand accessories and even makes the same sounds as the instapot brand cooker.

Insignia also sells a 6qt stainless steel pot for this one. Available at Best Buy for $20. It's nice to have both. Certain things just turn out better in either pot. They also sell 2 packs or replacement seals.

I've had one of these for years and love it -- I actually prefer the insignia pot insert over the stainless steel, but I seem to be alone on that. This is always a big argument that comes up when the insignia goes on sale. The non stick pan works great for stuff like rice or saute'ing and mine hasn't scratched at all.

I have both this and a legit instant pot.
The real instant pot seems to heat up faster. The bigger thing for me is that the instantpot tells you how many minutes since it finished "cooking" so you can tell how long it's been sitting/letting out pressure. The insignia one seems to only have an hour timer (0h, 1h, 2h, etc..)

For recipes where you cook for 15 minutes and let sit for 5 before releasing steam, it's very difficult with the insignia since it reads "0 hours" instead of "3 minutes" like the instantpot does.

This might be a setting that can be changed, but that was my only issue with it.

Accessories and pot inserts are swappable between insignia and instantpot

Not alone, I too prefer insignias with coating as cake and many other recipes works way better due to coating. I have both instantPot and this one and both have their own good use cases.

Have one, love it. I sear all the time with the non stick pot. It works just fine and is way easier to clean than stainless.

There are YouTube teardown videos showing nearly identical parts between the instant pot and the insignia.

I've had mine for about two years now and it is holding up fantastic. Use it often for making stews. Can brown meat well enough with the nonstick which was my worry and the coating is holding up. Might pick up another as a gift. I've also recommended this model to friends and family and they love theirs. Same oem as instapot. Makes the same noises too lol.
