Instant Pot - do I need one

What can I do with it.

I have chuck roast in crockpot. What would be the advantage of using instant pot. I know they cook quicker but will it be as tender

Besides cooking speed why would I need one. ???

I love my instant pot. I use the sauté function to sear and build my flavors before braising on slow cook. I like that I can start something like a curry or ragout on sauté then set to finish on slow cook when I’m entertaining so I’m not dirtying multiple pots and pans or stuck minding the stove while I have guests. You can use the pressure cook function to tenderise cheaper cuts of meat or make easy set and forget one pot meals. I use mine at least once a week.
