Well, there you go. I can't imagine that anyone wouldn't appreciate such a gift. That is really nice of you. But still, let us know what you find out about it. I am curious. Take care.

It's different than yours, so I'll try both. I decided not to cancel this order, the manager of my retail store is getting married this coming week and if after checking it out I find it's not accessible or not accessible enough I'll give it to them as a wedding gift and order the bluetooth version.

It is 1-800-828-7280 I realize you are in Canada and hope that number works for you. Let me know if it doesn't and I'll look for a local one for you. Hope this helps.

Now, Kay, if what you said is correct then I guess it will go back in the box. Where did you call, do you have a direct number for Instant Pot? I guess I could still cancel it and wonder if I shouldn't do so after what you said. I was sort of hoping the dial would click with each turn.

None of the rest have a dial. They all have tactile buttons so I imagine this one does too. That's the trouble with asking customer service. I always have someone look at the pictures and describe the entire thing. And in this case, you can download the manual in advance. But I doubt there's a dial of any kind on it. I'll be very surprised if it's not useable.
