I have had my 17 qt presto precise canner for about two weeks now and I just love it!! It comes with simple directions and basically walks you through the steps of pressure canning or water canning. I would never go back to my old stove top canners. One if my favourite appliances already!! I would absolutely recommend this canner to anyone who was looking to purchase a canner.

I love that I can do both WB and PC in one machine. It is quick and very easy to use. I can can twice as much as any other machine I have. I am glad I decided to buy this. No regrets!.
I would recommend this to a friend!

So easy to follow the step by step instructions. I have the 12 quart canner and was looking for another one when I discovered the 17 quart canner. The fact that quart size jars can be water bathed in this is a game changer.

Love the automatic features. Not totally hands free as you do need to pay attention to the beeps, but much, much better than sitting and watching your canner and trying to figure out if you've vented for the whole 10 minutes.

I can pressure and water bath in the same canner!!!! I’m used to using the old fashioned method and this is so much easier and I don’t have to stand by the stove. Thank you!

I bought this about 3 months ago. I really like being able to walk away from it once the countdown begins. This frees me up to do other things and that alone is well worth the cost. I usually need to stack the pint jars with the product I am canning....chicken, kidney beans, dog food, etc'''...the cool down period is way way way too long...sometimes more than 2 hours...this may be because of the size of the load I don't know. This causes a huge delay before I can start the second batch, making for a very long day. Would I buy it again if I knew this ahead of time...ummmm...YES...I am actually considering buying a 2nd one, another 17 qt so I can immediately start another batch. That is how I did it before so I don't think buying a 2nd one is out of the question. Watching for a sale.

This is my first electric canner so I can't compare to previous or competitors' models. I can however compare to my old stove top canner if it's okay to compare apples and oranges. I mean, I can't really compare because the electric is SO much easier to use. No more babysitting and adjusting the heat up and down. I recently got a new, glass top stove so I was really happy to not have to put that big canning kettle on it. It's also great to have the extra burner while I'm preparing veg/fruit and sterilizing jars. It was always a balancing act in the past. When I got the new canner, I didn't even realize I could use it for hot water bath canning also so that was a great, added bonus. I haven't eliminated my other canning kettles yet but I think it won't be long until they are no longer taking up space in my storage room. I'd definitely recommend this canner to others.
