This sub seems to have an everlasting boner for Instant Pot. I prefer just a normal stovetop pressure cooker.

That is the one I use the most. The 6 quart size is just right for feeding my family of 4. If you're cooking for yourself, get a 4 quart, if you have a larger family, get an 8 quart.

It has a tri-clad base, which means the bottom of the pot is a layer of stainless steel between two layers of aluminum. The stainless steel in the middle evenly distributes the heat, and holds on to more heat than just aluminum. It makes it better for searing meat before cooking it.

It actually cooks at 15 PSI. Instead of making a pressure cooker that is safe at 15 PSI, they just lowered it to 11 to make it easier to produce. The extra 4 PSI will cook things quite a bit faster, and it also makes it safe to use for pressure canning.

Once you get it up to pressure, all you need to do is turn the burner down to low, and set your timer. No oversight needed at all.

It's less than half the price of the instant pot. And it has no electronics to potentially fail.
