The chrome finish exterior uses touch controls, and the higher wattage compared to standard 1000W models means faster pressure build times for the same cooking volume.
With over 10,900 reviews at a 4.7-star average, this is one of the better-validated large-capacity Instant Pots. Buyers have had enough time with this model to surface consistent feedback about durability and cooking performance. The 8-quart size is practical for large families or anyone who wants to cook proteins and grains in a single, large batch.

What is the practical difference between 1000W and 1200W in a pressure cooker?
Higher wattage means the cooker heats faster and reaches pressure more quickly. The difference between 1000W and 1200W is meaningful but not dramatic. For an 8-quart pot you will notice a shorter preheat phase, which adds up over repeated use, especially for dense or large-volume cooks.
How does the 113-0045-01 compare to the Instant Pot 140-0021-01 at 8 quarts?
Both are 8-quart Instant Pot models. The 140-0021-01 runs at 1500W (higher power), weighs 22.2 lb, and is priced at $149.99. The 113-0045-01 uses 1200W and weighs 15.6 lb, which is notably lighter. If price and weight are priorities, the 113-0045-01 may be the better value once its price is confirmed.
Is 8 quarts practical for a household of four?
Yes, with room to spare. An 8-quart pot fits large roasts, multiple pounds of meat, or full batches of stock. For a family of four, the extra volume is useful if you batch cook on weekends. It does mean a bigger appliance on your counter, so it is worth weighing that tradeoff.
