Anyone have an Instant Pot?

Amazon has a 6 quart for 68.00 marked down from 130.00 and I am thinking about getting one but I'm afraid it might turn into another small appliance that just takes up space and never gets used.
If you have one, what do you use it to cook and about how often do you use it?

I have one and rarely use it as a pressure cooker. I mainly use it to cook chicken breasts with the slow cook function because I have limited space, and I put my slow cooker in storage when I got the IP. I don't cook dry beans. I only do roast a couple of times a year. I can cook better rice on the cooktop in not much more time than the IP. I didn't need it. I could see it being useful for others though.

Pot roast; dried beans; turkey and black bean chili.
Eggs boiled in it peel like nothing. I cup water. Put eggs on the trivet. 7 minutes under pressure, 7 minutes more with lid on. Release remaining pressure, and put eggs in ice water.
It's more trouble than boiling them in a pot, but the peels just slip off.

I always overcook rice with it so I don't use the rice cooker part at all. I do use it a lot for roasts and making juicy meats and cooking dry beans. I find it to be a very useful appliance. Gets more use than my stand mixer.

Ordered one today.
Grateful for the boiled eggs tip. It'll be the first thing I try.

So the only advantage is that the shell peels off easily? I can boil an egg on the stovetop in 15 mins.

I bought it during amazon's prime day.
I haven't used it yet.

Just steam eggs for 9 minutes and drop them in a ice bath. You will get the same results and save some time.
If you want soft boiled it is 6 minutes and 30 seconds of steaming and drop them in an ice bath.
Steaming times are more reliable because you don't have to worry about water temperature drops when you put the eggs in. I haven't boiled an egg in years, I always steam them now.
