I have something similar and it certainly makes it easier but I can’t say the shells slip off? Maybe the wahl one is better?

Well its what I've found so far but I do immerse the eggs in really cold water after cooking. The drawback seems that I kept getting dark rings around the yolks - not all the time but often. That's a big no-no for me if I'm using them in food photography.

I thought cooling them quickly helped prevent the dark ring?
I remember reading something about ferrous sulphide forming if they are cooked for a long time and it can be avoided by reducing cooking times?
That's easier said than done I think because the eggs temperature at the start of the cook and the exact size varies.
The instant pot egg article LissaC posted has some very specific cooking times I'm going to try out tomoz, will see if we end up ring free
I don't have any other need or desire for an Instant Pot (my kitchen space is limited), and can't see myself buying one to cook boiled eggs.
Honestly, if I need hard-boiled eggs for a particular dish, I buy them already cooked and pealed at the grocery store. It doesn't get any easier than that, and they are always perfectly cooked.

That's interesting. The only ready peeled hard boiled eggs I've seen here are either pickled in a jar (love them) or quail's eggs (available from higher end supermarkets). Are ready peeled hens' eggs a common thing in supermarkets in the US?
Yes, very common. Usually in bags of six eggs. More expensive than buying fresh eggs, then boiling and pealing them yourself, but not unreasonable in price.

They do sell them in the sandwich section of Morrisons. I bought them once, they tasted weird.
A bit pricey too.

I've encountered that problem of not being able to easily -peel hard boiled eggs before, but I never thought to do them in a pressure cooker. I'm also willing to buy them already hard-boiled, if I can!!! Usually, I slice them & put them into potato salad!!

I never looked for them there. I'll have to ask for them. when I worked in food service, they used to come by the bucket. Guess no on had time to peel hard-boiled eggs. Too many was needed at a time!!!

They are usually found in grocery stores in the same place as fresh eggs, with other egg products like Egg-Beaters.
