It came as defective and damaged

If I could give this experience zero stars, I certainly would. I purchased this Instant Pot in November 2024. I literally just opened the box about an hour ago. It was clearly a customer return to the store—no packaging, and not 100% clean. Okay. I forgave that, and cleaned it really good. Tried using it, and you guessed it! Doesn’t work. Now I am out of the return window. Is there any recourse for this situation, or am I just stuck with this inoperable appliance?

I dislike that it died after four months!

In 3 months, the lid was started to broken. Now this instapot would be useless.

Error code after 8-10 uses. Took a month for InstantPot to answer my emails/contact form only to tell me I have no proof of warranty. Buy another brand.

The stainless steel pot is one of the worse I have ever used. It easily gets burned, food sticks to it while sauting, cleaning it is the hardest thing. I accidentally overcooked a meal which burnt a little, now the whole surface has gotten black, and it doesn’t clean anymore.

It stopped working the second time I used it. Which was after the return policy ran out.

I have received a damaged product

Purchased this item, and opened it up to find it had all been opened before. The pot had obviously been used (water spots and crusted food) and the outside was scratched up. Keep in mind, I am reviewing this product without having used it. Target, do better! You should not be reselling used items, PERIOD.

Black Friday deal with a massive dent in the metal casing, will be exchanging.
