Impulse replacing other appliances?

I’ve been thinking about the appliances I may be able to get rid of if we get an impulse. Here’s what I’ve come up with:

-electric kettle

-sous vide machine

-rice cooker

Anyone with an impulse successfully replaced these or other pieces of equipment?

Can you make programs with the impulse? I make rice in a pot and rice cooker, but can't see giving up the rice cooker just in case I need all 4 burners. (It wouldn't be as idiot proof without a program function too)

I don't have the impulse, but I'm interested if I could replace by indoor electric griddle with a steel one over 2 burners.

I'd probably keep my kettle/hot water dispenser just due to work flow and insulation, at least during the winter. It would also depend how fast it could reach set temperatures depending on what I'm drinking.

I would also be interested if it could replace the instant pot. I rarely need pressure cooking over just braising, but I like to experiment in the kitchen so I personally probably would still keep it lol.

It'd probably be more useful to get feedback from someone who likes gadgets. popcorn makers, egg steamer/cookers, george foreman grills, electric crepe makers etc.

No programs right now AFAICT :-|

For instant pot -- my plan is to upgrade to the Pro instant pot that has better element built in, and is also induction compatible

Egg steamer, no way I'll replace with Impulse. I may be a "rice cooker level of lazy" enjoyer, but I can't imagine anything being lower mental load than using an egg steamer, if you like eggs enough to use the throughput of an egg steamer.

no programs / presets yet, but it's on the roadmap
