We've found that a pressure cooker is almost indispensable for Indian cooking, especially for cooking lentils (dals). When we were living in India, I bought a very basic one from a local market, which we then took with to Thailand.
So back in UK, we had a look to buy a new one and decided that rather than buy a new standard pressure cooker that steams and hisses on the stove, we would try an electric pressure cooker. I think Americans call them 'Instant Pots', as besides being a pressure cooker you can do all sorts with them. Ours fries, steams, cooks rice (though not a fan of rice done in rice cookers), pressure cooks, bakes and you can even use it to make yogurt. Because the pressure is controlled by the electronics, it doesn't hiss when cooking and so doesn't sound like a bomb about to go off.
Early days yet but still is looking good.
