I use my Instant pot often, but got tired of pulling it out just to do rice for 2 people. Also, if I make a curry then I still had to use the stove to cook the rice. Even though it takes longer than other methods, I have found the Zest to to do a very good job.  I love that you can set it and walk away.  If you plan ahead the time is not a problem.  I have also been cooking steel cut oats for breakfast and it does great for that also.
