5.0 out of 5 stars Easy to use!
I got this because I needed a bigger crock pot for my large family. I double and sometimes triple recipes so standard pots don't always have the room I need. I have a 6 qt Crockpot Express that I LOVE and have been in search of a larger version. I finally found this and it works great! Has all the features I want like slow cook, pressure cook, sauté, delay timer, etc. It fit my double batch of beef stew, cooked it perfectly and was easy to use, so I give it five stars. The slow cook function does only have one setting that is automatically set to 6 hours so I'm guessing it is between a low and a high? This is a BIG cooker - it needs to be in order to do all the different things, but the pot is a very manageable lighter weight coated metal of some sort that is easy to wash. I can't speak to the longevity of this product since I just got it, but it's great on the onset!
5.0 out of 5 stars I bought this to cook my dog food in
My dogs on a special diet that she needs to survive. I have to cook, sweet potatoes, tilapia, and rice, but in separate groups because everything has to be measured and weighed this has saved me heat from my oven gas for my stove and accomplishes the whole job in less Than two hours. I make two weeks at a time of food for two dogs I recommend this cooker for a large meals and then freeze them. That’s what I do with my dog food. I’m glad I brought this pressure cooker. I have a smaller one for just my food and now I realize this works well for large meals and quantity perform well is very versatile takes a little time to heat up but most appliances do And easy to clean I have a cupboard with a pullout and it fit perfectly into this Space. This has been a great buy

4.0 out of 5 stars Works Great but...
Works great as a pressure cooker, not bad as a slow cooker my only complaint is that when in slow cooker mode it only has a high setting for heat and I had to buy a slow cooker to make my recipes that require low heat.
5.0 out of 5 stars So 🔥
It's, huge! My first go, I made birria. I used about 10lbs of meat.1 hour for the initial cook, release pressure and add your sauce. An extra 30 mins and the meat we so tender!Once you read through the instructions, and get familiar with it.. its super easy to use.There is one thing that I did not like.. the rubber seals get stained while cooking. It's not a deal breaker to dock a point.. but something that is worth noting.
1.0 out of 5 stars POORLY made DO NOT BUY -FIRE HAZARD
This is the fifth one I purchased and had to be replaced. Do not last past six months. Three caught on fire from the electrical cord. The others caught fire from inside the plate. The front screen on all of them does not work. You never know what the timer is, you just have to guess. Now I have one that is past the return time. Such a waste of money and time because you must return in the box. Which means I have to store the boxes knowing it's only a matter of time before it breaks and needs return.
5.0 out of 5 stars Quality cooker for great price, great features
I bought this to replace our Presto that broke because the plastic around the temperature probe completely crumbled to bits (no wonder they discontinued it) and I'm so happy I decided to go with this one instead of another overpriced Presto.This cooker is not only way cheaper than the Presto but in some ways it's better. For example, this has very quiet operation. The beeps when you push the buttons are kinda loud, but the cooking itself is so quiet you wouldn't even know it's running. There's no hissing or escaping steam. It's also well insulated so the pressure drops gradually after cooking is complete even if the "keep warm" function is turned off.The presets for cooking are useful and convenient, as are the few tools/utensils that come with the machine. The automatic rice setting is awesome. It determines how long to cook the rice by weight automatically and the machine comes with a special measuring cup so that you get the water to rice ratio perfect every time. I can't wait to try the yogurt maker function! The saute/browning function works well.A real highlight is the built-in stand for the lid. This is super clever and I can't believe nobody has ever thought of it before. When you open the unit you can stand the lid vertically on the side of the unit. The lid is also very easy to take apart and clean, and the little trench that runs around the lid when the unit is assembled is wide enough to clean unlike the more expensive Presto.There are some cons but given the fair price of this product they are not a big deal. First, this cooker only goes up to 12psi. A 15psi option would have made this a rockstar product. The pressure cooker time setting only goes up to 99 minutes which doesn't really make sense to me. There are buttons for hours and minutes for certain presets like slow cooking (only low setting for slow cook) so why can't standard pressure cooking be set to hours instead of minutes?Despite the small cons - the price, functionality, and performance of this product makes it a standard item in my kitchen that gets used constantly. Despite its size on the counter, we never put it away because we use it almost daily. I hope it lasts longer than the lousy Presto! Don't forget to replace your sealing rings and other rubber parts about once per year! Your unit will function much better if you do.
5.0 out of 5 stars Bought as a gift for my kids
I have one of these and loved it so much that when my kids moved out on their own, I bought them one and it makes their lives so much easier. They can cook their meals in half the time. This is durable reliable and works well for cooking all kinds of foods.
Poor Build Quality
We tried this pressure cooker in our kitchen and unfortunately it didn't perform as it should. The build quality on this products is very poor and the user interface is hard to understand. I sent the product back.
