Where to buy: instantpot.com listed $249.99 on 30 September 2026. Amazon.com ASIN B0CHL9G36H, model 140-0060-01, title includes Wifi. The shop page does not print that model number.

Owner feedback

We did not find an independent review that cooked on the Smart Ultimate Lid and separated it from the non-app Ultimate Lid. The shop FAQ is the practical note: after pressure cooking, the cover is hot and has to come out before you air fry. Amazon.com shows a Wifi style on ASIN B0CHL9G36H. We did not copy a star rating from that page.

Score breakdown

7.3/10

Capability 25%9/10
The shop page lists pressure cooking and air frying in one 6.5 qt, 1500 W appliance, plus roast, broil, dehydrate, sous vide, and proof. That is the widest function list in this set. The 95 percent less oil line is a marketing claim, and there is no built-in scale, so this is not a 10.
Sources: Current Smart Ultimate Lid page
Smart programs 20%8/10
The Smart page and the Amazon Wifi listing both describe Instant Connect with 2,000+ guided recipes and phone control. The count is the maker's figure. The separate $219.99 Ultimate Lid on the collection page is not described with that app block, so the score is for this Smart model only.

Ease of use 15%6/10
The page promises one lid and an LCD that says when the lid can open. The FAQ still requires removing a hot inner cover to switch from pressure to air fry. That extra step keeps the ease score under the Pro Plus.

Cleanup 10%7/10
The shop page says the pressure cover, air-fry rack, and cooking pot are dishwasher safe, and it describes a cover that shields the air-fry element. The base is not described as dishwasher safe.
Sources: Current Smart Ultimate Lid page
Build and reliability 15%6/10
The page lists a 1-year warranty, UL listing, and more than 11 safety features. It is a more complex machine than a Duo. We did not find an independent durability report for model 140-0060-01.

Value 15%6/10
The collection price was $249.99, thirty dollars over the non-app Ultimate Lid on the same collection. You are paying for the app on top of pressure plus air fry. That is a fair band if you will use both, and an expensive band if you only pressure cook.

Pros and cons

Pros

Pro: The shop page is a pressure cooker and an air fryer under one lid, with an Instant Connect claim of 2,000+ recipes.
Pro: Amazon model 140-0060-01 is titled as the Wifi style, and its feature bullets match that Smart page rather than the non-app Ultimate Lid.

Cons

Con: The shop FAQ says you remove a hot pressure-cooking cover before air frying. One lid is not zero steps.
Con: We did not find an independent test of this Smart model. The non-app Ultimate Lid is a different listing and is not this pick.
