Instantpot is the most well know brand (their marketing was spot on). However, what I like about IP over other brands is the stainless steel cooking pot. And most accessories on the market are made to fit this device. BUT you have another option on Amazon and I have bought 6 of this brand, GoWise USA, to date, 8 quart model currently on sale for $59. 2 for myself, (I threw away my first one when the fuse in it blew - electrician was doing a thing and it blew the circuit - and I didn't know I could replace the fuse in it for only a few bucks. Grrrr) 1 for each of my daughters, and two for other gifts. And I'll probably buy more for gifts. Literally, everything about it is the same EXCEPT the electronic keypad is mirrored on the IP. The IP replacement seals, all the accessories, everything fits in this. I have had mine for now almost 7 years. Still use it all the time. The Mealthy CrispLid fits it as well. It has the same preset settings for rice, yogurt, soup, porridge, etc as the IP.

One note: It does heat from the bottom as another commenter pointed out, but that does not mean that it doesn't slow cook. The interior walls are metal, the pot is metal, and the thermostat keeps that metal heated to cook like a slow cooker. I have used it to make slow cooker meals with no modification, OTHER than to bring my dish up to temp more quickly on the saute or soup setting, then turn it to slow cook. The slow temperature rise of slow cookers - especially when using raw meat - is the one thing food safety experts say is the danger in using slow cookers. This circumvents that.
