The problem with traditional slow cookers is that the results you get by just dumping everything in and walking away aren't great. You really want to brown meat first, etc. Slow cookers are still useful but they're not a magical one pot device.

Instant Pot is a combo slow cooker-pressure cooker. It can brown meat, too.
