We bought the Instant Pot just before Christmas and have used it a few times. So far, so good. My only issue is that I don't like to keep small appliances out on my counter unless I use them every day (ie coffee pot and toaster oven only). And I don't have the cupboard space to store it, so I keep it right outside the kitchen in the garage. I'm sure I'd use it more if I kept it on my counter. My niece, who talked us into getting the Instant Pot, uses hers 4-5x/week.
