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.
I would recommend this to a friend!

This canner is easy to use. It walks you through the steps to take on the display, and the quickguide/cheat sheet included gives a little more detail and makes it so easy. I love not having to babysit my canner!

I was shopping for a pressure canner, weighing the pros and cons of each option. So very happy that this is what I decided to go with. It allows me to do both pressure canning and water. The instructions are very clear and easy to follow. Highly recommend This option.

Great value, excellent product. This helps my wife pressure can and boiling water can fruits and veggies without risking our glass-top oven.

Helpful instructions, easy to use with options for quarts or double stacking wide pints using the pressure canning feature. It takes away the guess work and allows you to preserve food with confidence!

Happy Canning

Until the Presto Precise 17Qt I had to can using the traditional Presto water-bath and pressure canners paying close attention to timing and pressure level to ensure safety. I'm a short person with limited ability to lift heavy objects. The PP 17Qt is a blessing in so many ways with the built-in features to control proper canning processes. Mine lives on a rolling stainless steel cart convenient to my kitchen area. If I were new to canning or wanting to switch over to a digital canner this is the model I'd choose!
