The instant pot is amazing. But not as a crockpot.

I love the IP but for cholent we still use a regular crockpot. I tried it a few times in the IP and no one really liked it.

I'm actually specifically looking for a crock pot as I want to put it up in morning and come home to cooked meal rather than putting it together when I get home from work. when I search crock pots there are a lot of options that claim they do both. I'm wondering if anyone has one like this and what their experience with it is.
this is one option I saw:

Get a regular crockpot with manual dials that has Low, High and Keep Warm settings.

The Instant pot has a max of 22 hours (or was it 20?) as a crockpot, and you can't use the lid on Shabbos because it plays a chime when you put it on or take it off. So it's not really practical for Shabbos or Yom Tov. Also there are no adjustments on the heat settings as a slow cooker.
So yes, I got both.

Its 99 hours on slow cooker, and you can (and should) buy their glass lid, which is what you need I believe for slow cook cooking. Also, there is a way to turn off the chimes/sound. Also I believe you can make it so the display doesnt change.

Maybe on the newer models. Mine goes up only to 20 or 22 hours, I tried a number of times. No way to turn off chimes on mine either.
