We are using one about like your’s 20 or so years. Get used almost 2 days a week.
Lots of chickens and pork butts, lots of soups and chili.
Lots of roasts and soups in ours. Toss some meat, potatos/carrots/onions turn it on and walk away. My wife has used the hell out of it for lots of one pot dishes with noodles and cream of whatever and meat/veggies.
