The Instant Pot Duo is the most popular and is also one of the best-selling models. The Duo 80 is the eight-quart variant with a capacity that is good enough for 8 to 12 people.

It even has the means to monitor pressure and temperature, keep time, and adjust heating intensity duration to help you achieve consistent and perfect results.

A tedious cleanup would be the least of your worries with a finger-print resistant exterior and since all its components and accessories are dishwasher-safe. Take away the hassle of home cooking by getting your hands on the Instant Pot Duo 80 for only $99 instead of $140 on Amazon.

The Max, like most models from Instant Pot, can combine quite a few kitchen appliances. You’ll just as instantly get nine functions in one device along with eight built-in programs. You’ll be able to maximize its use for pressure canning with its ability to reach a higher pressure level up to 15 psi on max pressure mode as much as you are able to ferment, simmer, slow cook, sear, and boil with the full temperature spectrum. Needless to say, you’ll open up yourself to a wider range of recipes with the Instant Pot app.

This six-quart multicooker also sets itself apart with NutriBoost technology that adds movements or a boiling motion to the food during pressure cooking. This sort of auto-stirring function breaks down cells to ensure maximum extraction of flavor, resulting in enhanced food taste and texture. It also comes with 13 proven safety mechanisms including the new automated venting and lid lock as well as accurate temperature control for sous vide cooking.

Ease of use is ensured with a large touchscreen and dial for seamless programming and to reflect changes you made for time, temperature, altitude, and pressure level. It typically sells for $200, but Amazon’s 36% price cut makes it available for only $127.

The most popular iPad on Amazon (and one of our favorites) is $80 off
The iPad 10.2 on a table.

Apple tablets are some of the most popular and hold the market share in the U.S., and for very good reason. Probably one of the most popular, if not the most popular, tablets is the iPad 9th-generation, and that's very obvious given how many units it's sold on Amazon alone, which is over 10,000 in the last month alone. Not only that, but it's had an incredible 57,000+ reviews with an average rating of 4.8, which is actually very impressive, given how critical reviews tend to skew. If you want to grab one, you're in luck because Amazon has a great deal that brings them down to $249 from $329. That's a very respectable $80 discount, especially on a product that's essentially flying off the shelves.

Why you should buy the Apple iPad
There are a lot of great things to say about the 9th-generation Apple iPad, and beyond just the excellent price it's going for, it has a large 10.2-inch screen running the Retina display we all know and love, with vivid color reproduction and image fidelity. Under the hood, you'll find Apple's A13 Biochip, which is a couple of generations old at this point, but still more than powerful enough for most tasks that you'd throw at it on an average day. As for storage, it is admittedly on the lower side at 64GBs, but the 256GB model also has a deal on it, bringing it , and that's also worth considering.
