The Instant Pot DUO version, 6 quart capacity, is definitely worth it -- I'm a huge fan. This appliance is an automatic pressure cooker, slow cooker, rice cooker, steamer, yogurt maker, can sauté or heat up foods, & can even do popcorn. It is the one appliance that DS has in his college apartment; it has a small footprint & is simple enough that he uses it constantly. Just the pressure cooker function alone will enhance & speed meal prep. Currently this model is selling on Amazon for $114.
The Smart/Bluetooth version of the Instant Pot is much more programmable -- unless you are going to do this, & most people won't, I'd save money & buy the DUO instead.
