I have an Instant Pot, and it's great....for most recipes you have to add about a half hour to the time they give, it takes 10-15 minutes to come up to pressure before the "cooking" timer starts, and then 10-15 minutes for natural pressure release...you can do quick release in a couple of minutes.
I made last weekends corned beef and cabbage in about an hour and 45 minutes minutes complete. I also made chicken and dumplings in about 45 minutes complete...you can also do all the sautéing and browning in the Instant pot, so for most recipes you only need to wash one pan. Here's a recipe for bone broth in the Instant Pot...about 3 hours...

another plus is the Instant Pot is much...MUCH....less expensive.....other than that I'm pretty sure they function pretty similarly....except Instant Pot doesn't Air-Fry, but I have a stand alone Air-Fryer for when I want it.
Oh yeah, I also made pulled pork in the Instant Pot for a Pat's tailgate party in about an hour and 10 minutes, and it was really good---not as good as my pulled pork done on the Smoker, but pretty damn good for an hour and 10 minutes...
