What makes them so great? Isn't it like a crock pot?

It is a pressure cooker, but you can also saute and slow cook in it.

In my opinion, very little. I never use mine.

i guess it depends on what your family enjoys. i love that i can make chili from dried (unsoaked) beans in about a hour. stews, roast, chicken. you name it.
last week i did rice in 5 minutes. there is a little learning curve, but, that's ok.
i also got a air fryer last week. kids can have crispy hot mojo potatoes/fries in about 20 minutes, and the best part is only needs 2 teaspoons of oil for the fries.
ok in my book.

We got rid of our slow cooker and rice cooker. We also use it for hard-boiled eggs, so easy. We very seldom use it for traditional pressure cooking LOL.

I made the best cheesecake in mine last week. It took 25 mins, no cracks and very light.

It's an electric pressure cooker. I like to use it to make soup and stews. I prefer it over my stove top pressure cooker because I don't have to babysit it. I can set the pressure cook time and then walk away.
I have used a pressure cooker for almost all of my life and would use it for cooking anything that I don't want to be crispy or brown. I know folks bake in it, but I wouldn't.
I would recommend it if you don't already have a pressure cooker.

I like my Instant Pot a lot and use it as often as I can. Even though I have a few IP cookbooks, I rarely ever refer to them. I wish I knew, though, how to gauge how long to set the cook timer. I know it cooks very quickly, but I think I set mine for a little too long.

The skies parted & an Instant Pot landed on my counter.
I use Every. Single. Day.
