Hello, I mentioned last weekend that I had ordered the Instant Pot Ultra 10-in-1 pressure cooker. As many of us found out, nobody seemed to have any deals on the Instant Pot Smart and except for on Amazon here in Canada I have not even found it for sale anywhere else, Best Buy Canada doesn't carry it, they only have the Duos 7-in-1 and I think 9-in-1. This Ultra 10-in-1 which states it is a 2017 model was on sale on Amazon.ca for $119.99 and that was definitely a good buy because now it is listed as $229.99. Anyhow, I received it yesterday and unfortunately it would appear that it is not accessible for a blind person. We never did actually plug it in, but all it has in terms of controls is a single dial which can also be pushed in to sort of "click" or select your program that you turn the dial to. It has 16 programs and I assume these are all selected via the dial. There are also two buttons just below and to either side of the dial, probably for maybe setting the timer, maybe an up and down arrow. The dial does click as you turn it, well, not audibly click, but you can feel how each position clicks into place, but there is no tactile reference point on the dial and no stop like where you could turn it all the way to the left or right to a stop position and then count clicks forward or backward. The dial just as in so many appliances nowadays just spins around and around and you have to visually confirm what you selected.
Anyhow, I packed it up again and it will become a wedding present for my store manager and his wife (they just got married today) and I will probably order the Instant Pot Smart. Amazingly when I checked it again on Amazon.ca it told me that it had dropped in price by just over $2 from $189.99 to $187.something, I guess I am getting my deal after all *smile*. The only thing I'm still a bit hesitant about is the fact that Instant Pot may come out with a new version shortly. I was going to call them to ask when this version was released since I haven't really found that information.
