You're definitely right about that. I read a review of the Duo and the version wirecutter reviewed last year had a non-removable silicone ring, so you'd be SOL for for cleaning or replacement which makes it a non-starter for me. And yet it has a 4.6 on amazon. I'm not sure that's changed in the latest model. edit - they may have made the silicone gasket replaceable for the pressure cooker lid, which is good. Reviews say the separate lid for the air fryer is quite bulky, however. Which for me anyway defeats the point of switching how we do things at our house. Edited December 18Dec 18 by Chopper

If you already have an instant pot, an inexpensive, off-brand air fryer is a good get. We have both and the Instant Pot gets stowed away for occasional use, while the no-name air fryer stays on the counter and has been used way more than I ever thought we'd use it.
