RE: Instant Pot Smart WiFi Pairing Guide
Actually, the name of the new Instant Pot cooker is the Instant Pot Smart WiFi 6 Quart Electric Pressure Cooker if you look at it on Amazon which seems to clearly indicate it is a wifi as opposed to a Bluetooth model. It is still on sale for $90 versus its regular retail price of $149.95. You can find it at this link: https://www.amazon.com/Instant-Pot-Smart-Electric-Pressure/dp/B0777XQ4S8/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8 <https://www.amazon.com/Instant-Pot-Smart-Electric-Pressure/dp/B0777XQ4S8/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8=1542061709=8-1=instant+pot+smart+wifi> =1542061709=8-1=instant+pot+smart+wifi Alan Lemly From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Steve Matzura Sent: Friday, November 30, 2018 6:17 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: Instant Pot Smart WiFi Pairing Guide What's interesting is that the sale advertisement did not indicate one way or the other which type of networking is required, and neither is it stated on the box!

RE: Instant Pot Smart WiFi Pairing Guide
SO! Many! Exclamation marks! The only one being sold is the wifi model. There is no bluetooth version anymore. Hasn’t been since I think early this year or last. If you bought one with connectivity, it’s by default the wifi version. Where did you buy it from that it didn’t say which model it was? Outside of a private sale perhaps, I’m incredulous that the listing didn’t say what model instant pot it was anywhere. Be it ultra, wifi, mini, etc. How did you otherwise know you were buying the one you wanted then?

RE: Instant Pot Smart WiFi Pairing Guide
It has been made clear multiple times that there are indeed two different models. A bluetooth model that has since been discontinued which some of us have and can be accessed via a fully accessible app and this new wifi model which apparently has some app accessibility challenges. I don’t know if people were giving “bad information” as much as perhaps people not keeping track of which one is which… I know I’ve always refered to my bluetooth model as just that. I’ve never confused it for or have called it the wifi model.
