idk about wifi ones specifically but wasnt the issue with those more the fact that they saturated the market and anyone who wanted one either already had one or could basically just get one in perfect condition secondhand from someone who didn't use it much? I mean its kind of a gimmick, but not nearly as much as other kitchen gadgets

Maybe the wifi feature is a gimmick, but if I had to go live out of a van or something for a while, id just get an instant pot for all my cooking. Its efficient (in terms of water and electricity), does everything, and does it very very fast. I also imagine you could even cook while moving with it since its completely watertight when it's cooking.

yah, I've been kinda curious but I try to stay light on kitchen gadgets (I don't even have a microwave) so I haven't really tried one in earnest. Being able to cook beans from dry would be huge I think, especially in terms of going im-vegan , so maybe I'll finally do it next time I see one used for cheap. Get rid of the useless air fryer someone gave me last year (I mean I have used it a couple times but I don't think its for me, and this one is mega shitty/cheaply made)
