We review 51 models of single-field inflation, paying special attention to the possibility that self-resonance of the unstable inflaton perturbations leads to reheating. We compute Floquet exponents for the models that are consistent with current cosmological data. We find five models that exhibit a strong instability, but only in one of them -- KKLT inflation -- the equation of state efficiently approaches that of radiation.
