Why this grade

Instant Pot sells common wear parts (sealing rings, inner pots, float valves, steam-release handle ~$13, lids) via instantpot.com and Amazon, and iFixit provides device pages plus real repair guides including disassembly, plastic-base, EPC circuit-board, and pressure-sensor replacement. Designs use standard fasteners and are reasonably serviceable. Drags: some internal parts are hard to source (plastic base, sensors not sold new per iFixit user reports) and post-bankruptcy support reliability is a concern, though the aftermarket remains strong. No firmware DRM or parts pairing. Equal-weighted avg ~72.
