Pressure King Pro

Considering getting myself one of these. I had been thinking of getting a slow cooker in the Black Friday sales but then spotted these and saw some recipes online for pressure cookers and thought this may be a better option than just a slow cooker (has functionality for both pressure cooking and slow cooking). We do all our slow cooking in a crock pot in the oven but its not the most energy efficient and the kitchen just gets so hot with the oven on so long.

Does anyone have one of these? This is the one I am thinking of getting, just want to be sure I'd get the use out of it.

I don't have the pressure king but I do have the Instant Pot, which I think came before it and may cost a little more. It's a great piece of kit and I use it a couple of times per week, especially for pulses, curries, beans etc. Huge number of recipes available on the internet. I'm not a great lover of slow cookers, always tastes a little odd to me, but with a pressure cooker things are quicker anyway.

I would definitely get one before a slow cooker. Most of these electric pressure cookers only go to 10-12psi, many old recipes are for 15psi.

If getting one I would want to be able to go to lower temps, to do yogurt or sous vide type stuff. They will not have as fine temp control as most dedicated sous vide machines, but the temp variation is not important for what I do.

A pressure cooker and a Dutch oven should both be bought way before a slow cooker

Instant pot is the original , pressure king pro is a knock off of the IP.
I haven't got either but from looking at them the IP seems to be slightly higher quality and with more features.

Thanks for all the comments.

We have a dutch oven and its what we use for most of our cooking so it seems going for the pressure cooker is the right call.

I initially wanted an Instant Pot but I can't seem to find where I can get one in Ireland. I looked at a comparison review and it ended up fairly equal at the end in terms of results but might check to see if there is anywhere i can get the Instant Pot.
