How tf could they go bankrupt, nearly every person I know has an instapot. It's a household name at this point, a hyper successful product.

If every household has one, who is buying new ones?

Me, I wanna buy a new one! Was planning on getting my friends one for a gift soon too. Those things are super handy.

Sometimes I wish I had a second one. I would definitely use two at the same time if I had a second.

I have two and definitely use them both simultaneously from time to time. It’s a great rice cooker too.

Similar thing happened to Crocs a few years back. They didn't wear out like regular shoes so repurchases where rare. They ended up expanding their product lines to make up for it.
