If you eat frozen foods that need baking or frying, the air fryer is good...but i use my instapot much more because we eat more food from scratch... rice, stews, shredded meats, beans, corn on the cob, dried garbanzos, mashed potatoes, etc.

Not a fan of wet food. I make a carrot, beef, tomato stew once in a while, but I like my meat dry and crisp. Esp. Turkey. If it ain't just short of dessicated, it ain't done. Then slather it in Coleman's powdered mustard and super dry green peas with wasabi.

oh yeah also theres an outdoor snd indoor version. in CA you can get away with outdoor one. no meed for a vent pipe then.

The ones I have encountered overseas have an "idle" mode. If you go to shower, run laundry etc. - you need to turn the temp setting to an active mode and there are several to choose from depending on what you want the unit to do.

Didn't check the most recent one we used, but definitely looked closely at the other two, and no setting I could see. Just had to be assertive on wanting hot water.

I know a lot of folks in CA go for the outdoor installs. If it's going to be permitted, it also requires a dedicated, weather proof electric outlet (so add an electrician as well as a plumber to the total install cost).
Bear in mind that a foot of 3/4 inch copper pipe holds 0.0229 gal of water. So adding a ten foot stretch of pipe to your hot water line is about a quart of water that needs to be purged before the hot water shows up. If your fixture is pulling hot water at 1 gpm, then that's an extra 14 seconds. YMMV...

Reheat a slice of pizza on cheat day

If reheating and eating a slice of pizza is called a cheat day, what do you call the day where you actually ate 1/2 the extra large all meat pizza?

"Purge Day"

I did not know Coleman's powdered mustard was available outside of England. You're talking about that yellow mustard heavily fortified with horse radish, right? Very hot.
