Pretty shocked to see this with how ubiquitous they’ve seemed these last few years. Of all the recent kitchen gadgets this is one of the few that felt genuinely useful to me.

Instant Pots are amazing if you cooked every single day, but when I started meal prepping, I stopped using mine as much. Instant Pots aren’t great for meal prepping, their capacities are too small.
Before my Instant Pot, I had a Breville Fast Slow Cooker. They’re essentially the same thing, except Instant Pot made smaller versions too.
Nowadays, my Instant Pot is a big part of the weekly meal prep for my family, whether it’s a big batch of rice or dhal, or searing and pre-cooking a full roast, or boiling down a chicken carcass for soup.
I can’t imagine using one of the smaller models though.
I got mine to make Chinese beef noodle soup and in an 8 qrt instant pot I could make like 6 meals from it. I guess it depends on what kind of food you like to make. I haven’t used it in a while but I always think to myself I’ll use it again soon…
