I have a Cuisinart MSC 600  from Amazon that brown, slow cooks, steams, warms, etc.  

Good pricing too.

I looked at the one the OP posted about.  To me items are at their best about 6 to 6 1/2 hours of cooking.  All items get "cooked" of course but there's always a high point of appearance, flavor, and texture.  If I start something and leave, I'm going to want a delay start so it stays within the period I mentioned.  This one (due to the touch panel can't use a lamp timer to turn it on.  I can wash a pan and if I'm not home all day can get the best result.

After 2 defective Cuisinart multi cookers, ( the temp control panels cracked ), I bought the "Gold Clad" LOL. It was on sale at WS and I've been very happy with it. 

The Cuisinart browned meats in the unit, that's probably what caused the control panels to crack and not work properly anymore . The All Clad pan comes out to stove top brown. 

Good luck with whatever you chose. I always brown foods before slow cooking.

I already have the Ninja 4-n-1 and purchased the Cooks Companion one on the vine channel.  I love mine.  It is a ceramic pot so it does very well and without teflon. I really is better than the Ninja.  It is slightly larger, the ceramic is without fail, the best non0stick surface.  It heats up much faster than the Ninja and has more functions, plus a clear lid to see what you are doing.

Oh, yeah...it really browns meat well and caramelized veggies wonderfully!  Also $101 price is nice.

I have the Ninja and I put it on the stove top setting first to brown then switch over to slow cook.  Also, the Instant Pot 6 in 1 is a pressure cooker, slow cooker, etc.   You can also brown in that.  The interior on the Instant Pot is stainless steel instead of a non-stick surface if that makes a difference to you.

I vote for the Instant Pot!

I have the Ninja as well and love it. Browns meat great and there is one less pan to clean. I highly recommend it.
