We hear that phrase, 'game changer', often. Thanks for your review. Let us know if you have any canning or canner questions. We'd be happy to talk with you! Our Customer Service Team is available weekdays, 8-4 CT.
Awesome machine, works perfectly. Glad I went with the 23qt electric version option, was able to can tuna outside easily, the guide walks you through it instantly, was my first time and after 1 batch I already thought I was a pro thanks to the support documents, also the youtube video helped me visually walk through it while I was waiting for it to be shipped to me. Made a batch of 47 half of a half pint jars (the super small 4oz ones), all of them came out perfect. Very important to have new tops/lids every time for 100% success.

This is a massive piece of equipment, but it did not disappoint. The screen prompts you through all of the steps to pressure canning, and keeps your kitchen cooler than using the stove. I could not believe how much this streamlined my process!
It sat in our kitchen table for over a week, and knowing how easy it was to get food prepped an in the canner? It encouraged me to do one more batch…and pretty soon our pantry was fuller than it has been in years! The folks at our local farm stand saw me every few days taking advantage of the inexpensive and super fresh produce that we will enjoy all winter long.
It’s a large piece of equipment, so storing it is going to take some rearranging, but that is an easy challenge to accept. My only regret is not buying it sooner.

We're so glad you're having fun with your canner. Thank you for your review!
This product is so easy to use! I get a perfect seal every time and I don’t have issues with things coming to temp at the wrong time. This has been much safer than canning on my stove top

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I finally took my 23 qt canner out of box did the water test then canned up some tomato juice. Upon taking it out of the box I was impressed with how light this canner is!!! As I get older the weight of my other canners was going to be an issue especially the 17qt (I have 2-12qt and 1- 17qt) This canner has the same digital display and works the same as 12 and 17 qt as far as the digital display. I used wb function. I wanted qts and pints so I got out a 12qt and canned qts and pints at same time. I didn't test to see which one was quicker as that is irrelevant to me. One thing I did want to see is how much steam would be released into the kitchen and by far the 23 qt puts out a lot more steam. It doesn't play a factor for me as I have space next to the sink and if I turn then no steam hits cupboards. Wanted to mention in case that is a factor for some. I absolutely 💯 love the sealing ring in this canner, had zero issue with it and it stayed in place. The cord is no longer removable taking away the human error of plughing it in to canner all the way. Cord is also a lot longer compared to the 12qt/17qt. Having 3 sizes of the presto digital canner now.....I would hands down tell anyone to invest in the 23qt as it can pc and wb all size jars and is so light weight. The only thing I would say that are a down fall but really in the big picture they aren't lol is cord place ment and the plug on top that has to be removed when waterbathing to let steam out. Cord is directly in back so when I grab handles to dump water in the sink the cord hit counter, I wish it was to the side so it didn't get in way when dumping. Also, now have to factor in human error when removing the plug. Also wish it came with a few of these pluds as I am sure I'm gonna misplace it lol time to place a parts order 😄 I have been using the presto digital canner since they first came out, Santa got me my first one year they came on market. I will never go back to a stovetop pressure canner or water bath canner!!! There is still some watching this canner as u have to advance cycle forward and get it to the next step but nothing compared to watching heat and adjusting it for a dial guage/jiggler!!!

Thank you for your in depth review. We will share your cord concerns with our design team. We appreciate YOU!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When you are serious about canning with an electric unit, this is the way to go! I own several other Electric Pressure Canners -- including the Presto Precise Digital 12 quart, as well as a stovetop Presto 23 quart. I can lots of soups and home-grown veggies. I love that when I need to do a large batch, I need to use only one electric pressure canner instead of pulling out multiple smaller units. I also love that there's no liner, and the canning process remains simple and do-able for the busiest folks! Remember, as always, to use tested times and recipes! Thanks much for this newest addition Presto!

We're so glad you like the canner! Thanks for your review.
I recently purchased the Presto digital pressure canner, and I couldn’t be more impressed. Although I’m an experienced water-bath canner, I’m still relatively new to pressure canning and was initially hesitant to try a digital model. After using this canner, I can confidently say it has exceeded my expectations.
As a busy homesteading mom with three children under four, I appreciate any tool that simplifies my workload. This canner is truly a lifesaver. It’s easy to operate, requires no constant monitoring, and offers the largest capacity available on the market. I also love that it frees up valuable stove space, especially important in a smaller kitchen, so I can continue cooking meals or working on other projects while the canner runs. Presto has clearly put a great deal of thought into both convenience and performance with this design.
In addition to home use, I create content for Can-uary each January, where I share daily canning projects. This canner will significantly reduce the stress of producing consistent, high-quality content while also keeping up with the demands of regular food preservation.
The only improvement I would suggest is a removable power cord for easier storage. Otherwise, the canner is excellent. In fact, I’m already considering purchasing the smaller version as well, which would be ideal for days when I’m processing especially large batches and want to run two canners at once.
Overall, I highly recommend the Presto digital pressure canner to both new and experienced canners who want reliability, efficiency, and capacity without sacrificing ease of use.
