RE: InstaPot with iOS App Access
I just had another look on Amazon Canada and for now it seems the Instant Pot Smart WiFi is back from third-party sellers and actually for not too bad of a price. It is listed for $199.99 regular and currently on sale for $149.99, but no free prime delivery and a $16 shipping fee in addition to the price. Last time I looked maybe 6 or 8 weeks ago I also saw it from third party sellers, but it was over $300 Canadian. Given the current exchange rate from Canadian to US Dollars the regular US price of $149.99 is pretty much exactly $200 give or take $5, so it is the same as the regular price in the US. If you can get it for $89.99 US on sale that would be about $120 Canadian so still $30 or 20% cheaper than the sale price here and if you factor in the $16 shipping it's a $46 difference. Still that isn't so bad, I put it in my cart, but I think I'll wait a week and see if there is a better Black Friday or Cyber Monday deal and if there is I may break down and buy one. I could then sell our stand-alone rice cooker and slow cooker, both are pretty good quality and I may get $60 or $70 for both of them so if I could get the Instant Pot for $129.99 or even $139.99 Canadian I might do that.

Yes, you can get a good deal on the Wifi model of the Instapot. That is how I bought mine back in July. It was for $89.99. I use my pot weekly.

RE: InstaPot with iOS App Access
There is only one connected Instant Pot out there and that is the smart WiFi. I recently saw somebody sold a brand-new Bluetooth model which was discontinued I think almost 2 years ago, but I didn't buy it. The Smart WiFi is not sold in Canada even though Instant Pot is a Canadian company, I have never been able to get an answer out of them, but at this point I don't think I'd buy one even if they offered it unless maybe it was on a super good deal. The regular price in the US is I think $149.99, they often go on sale for 20% off and have been as much as 40% off which is $89.99 US and I wouldn't be surprised if they are o sale again for that price around Black Friday. But I'm so disappointed in the company that I don't think I'll give them my money and in addition to that I really enjoy cooking on the new GE connected range we bought, yes, it's maybe not as automated, but I know how to boil an egg so it's soft without an Instant Pot, we have a rice cooker and I wouldn't probably ever use the functions for making yoghurt and stuff so maybe if I had bought one it would be one of these gadgets which we'd use a bit in the beginning and then it would mostly just sit around or be a glorified rice cooker.
