Instant Pot Instant Milk Frother, 4-in-1 Electric Milk Steamer, 10oz/295ml Automatic Hot and Cold Foam Maker and Milk Warmer for Latte, Cappuccinos, Macchiato, From the Makers of Instant 500W, White

Selection buttons stopped working within two months
Worked great for two months, then the selection buttons just decided to be very difficult to use. Plug it in, buttons light up, then when you want to change to a different mode, it just ignores your input completely until maybe the 30th attempt. Tried unplugging multiple times, tried different people, tried pressing softly and firmly, tried yelling at it, tried staring it down (this almost worked, I’m sure of it), tried threatening it’s loved ones, but nothing worked. It was like winning the button lottery when it finally switched modes and worked. Oh the joy! This is what I always tell my wife; those people in Ukraine moan and complain about being invaded and whatnot, but I’m guessing they have milk frothers with working buttons.The start/stop button just below the demon-possessed mode button seems to be more consistent, but even that’s not reliable. And a few times, it just randomly started cycling through modes on a bizarre escapade of hot-hot-warm-cold-hot-hot-warm-cold whirring until I unplugged it. This machine may look sexy with it’s silky smooth exterior, clean lines, and near silent operation, but make no mistake, it knows what it’s doing the same way that creepy doll knew it’s intentions on the Twilight Zone. I’m just glad I got my $40 worth out of it before it died, or perhaps “got assassinated” would be a better term.My recommendation is to bite the bullet and get the much more expensive Breville Cafe Milk Frother, which is what I did. So far, the additional cost is very clearly well worth it. If you’re making your coffee/tea at home vs. going to a shop, you’re already way ahead of the game financially. Just do it right and get the Breville. It’ll pay for itself in no time and you’ll be very happy you did.

Great froth, but very temperamental – buttons work randomly, finally died completely
The froth from this unit is great, when it works. The problem is that the unit seems to be incredibly sensitive to water during cleaning. But it is frothing milk and must be cleaned! Therefore, when you do a thorough cleaning job, the buttons may not work for days. We tried various crazy methods to wash the unit without getting any water near the button or the bottom connection point. But it is really impossible to control water that uniformly, and it just gets worse and worse over time. Our unit finally completely died about 11 months after purchase. But the problem with the buttons non-functioning started almost immediately. You want your coffee frothier to just work in the morning, so this has been truly annoying. The partial reinforcement psychology test has been mildly entertaining, but get another frothier. Instant pot makes other great products, this is not one of them. Sorry instant pot. Make it water tight and I will try it again.

Worked great, until….
Purchased 1/30/2024, on 3/25/24 used it to frother some milk like I usually do every morning, and it worked. Went to froth milk for a second cup and it didn’t work.Before it stopped working, it did exactly what I needed. Frothed milk from two latte’s that I make for the wife and myself, and then whip up some cold from for the morning cold brew. It’s easy to use, feels like a solid piece of equipment and just stopped working.Being that my Amazon return window closed on 3/1/2024, I contacted InstaPot who is sending me a replacement.Would I buy this again, maybe, I’ll have to wait and see how the replacement does. I might consider spending a little more for a potentially better model.

Nice
Works good !
