Can we talk about the $18 rice cooker beating my $200 Instant Pot on plain white rice

I have used my Instant Pot for two years and the rice always came out gummy at the bottom, so last Tuesday I grabbed a basic $18 Aroma cooker from the Walmart on Colfax and did a side by side. The cheap one nailed fluffy rice in 22 minutes while the fancy one took 35 and still stuck, so now the Instant Pot just sits in the pantry. Has anyone else had a small cheap appliance beat the expensive one at a single job?
