I bought this thing on sale at Walmart for $39.00.

It was a game changer for me. They advertise it as a rice cooker, but its got setting for everything from stew to oatmeal. In fact I think it's the same thing as an instant pot. I originally bought it for rice, but now I'm using it for Chili, butter chicken, soups etc. It has full manual override so you can pretty much do anything you want. We never use the slow cooker anymore. This thing doers the same thing in 1/4 the time.
Even at 88 bucks I'd buy another one.
