| The Instant Pot Duo mini 3qt appears to hold greatest market share among the small "pots". It pulls 700w while actively heating.((or less, some report <600w on simple MSW inverters)) It is reported to run correctly off both 1000w inverters, both MSW and PSW.((PSW might be better for efficiency and longevity -- secessus)) | The Instant Pot Duo mini 3qt appears to hold greatest market share among the small "pots".

| | The IP will require: |
| | |
| | |
| | * sufficiently-large inverter, probably ≥1000w for the 700w mini. Pure Sine Wave preffered to protect the electronics, but it appears to run ok off MSW. Solar generators with capacities ≥1000Wh typically have internal PSW inverters capable of running 1000w but do check the specs. |
| | * sufficient wiring between inverter and bank |
| | * sufficient power available from battery bank and/or solar array (or other source) |
