Love this and use nearly everyday. Am new to pressure cooking. One thing I do not like is the open bottom when the pot is out. Since the pot is the same color I have accidentally poured beans in and ruined one pot when they went down the hole. Your great customer service replaced it. But I different color pot world help!
I loved the original until it finally stopped heating up after 6 years. Breville replaced it with this pro version and I'm impressed with the ability to release steam without burning my hand as well as the preset modes. I've thawed chicken, sautéed and made risotto so far and no issues. I am a devout Breville fan!
This has become our most used kitchen appliance to make everything from hard boiled eggs, to pot roast, to pork chops and baby back ribs. In fact we have two of them. One at our house in Florida, and a second at our vacation home in Minnesota. The Breville has easy to understand controls to help easily input the proper settings for your meal. The pressure relief button is on the control panel allowing easy release with out the danger of burning your finger. Easy to use, easy to clean.
Awesome device! Had trouble sealing initially but was my fault not devices.

This device is wonderful. It allows me to customize its numerous cooking modes. I love being able to sear a roast and then slow cook it or pressure cook it and then reduce the liquid, all in one pot. My initial issues with the lid not sealing was caused by my failure to make sure the locking pin was centered in its position. When closing the lid, I assumed I should rotate it all the way toward closed but, in fact, that was too far and resulted in the locking pin being a tiny bit past centered. Once I looked down into the closure area, I could see that I needed to back off the full closed rotation just a tiny bit to truly center the pin. No issues since then.
Can't remember when we bought this, 4 years ago? My wife and I are frequent weekly users, soups, stews, roasts, pork shoulder, beef roasts, chicken soup, chili, vegetables, bone broth, name it we have done it. Pressure cooking is perfect and slow cooking functionality is a bonus. Ours has been a rugged workhorse and used weekly. Price is higher but quality is better than the cheaper popular options. If it broke tomorrow, we buy another. Certainly have gotten our money's worth. Perhaps Breville will do an update to industrial design, controls and information display, we'll be first in line.
