In my case, it took the place of three other items that I used regularly (rice cooker, pressure cooker and crock pot). So it cleared up that much room in my kitchen. It was worth it for that alone. But I was surprised that I like the rice made in the IP better than the rice in the rice cooker; they're similar if I'm making 3/4 cup of rice or less, but for larger amounts the IP is superior.

I'm a big fan of pressure cooking and always have been. It imparts a deep flavor to foods that is difficult to achieve otherwise (other than with a cast iron dutch oven and hours and hours of slow cooking) - and no, I didn't get rid of my Le Creuset. I just couldn't bring myself to do it.

I have no opinion on air fryers. I don't think I'd personally use one enough to justify the cost.
