I got the canner for Christmas I have used it 5 time and I was trying to can some hamburger and the pressure will not build up it’s just loosing steam I have tried everything and restarted and cleaned everything four time now I have 10 pounds of ground beef not canned properly I’m so disappointed
I’ve had this for 3 years and can year round. The plastic on the locking mechanism fell apart piece by piece from heat and crumbled. It’s a throw away appliance.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I love this Presto pressure canner. It is saving me so much time in the kitchen from using a stove top pressure canner. It has worked great every time I have used it. I am so glad i purchased it, and will recommend it to anybody that stove top pressure cans food.
I have had this canner for almost 3 years now and am still in love. I have been water bath canning since I was a child but had never used a pressure canner. (My mother was afraid they would explode.) As an adult I have begun making my own bone broths and wishing to preserve other vegetables that required a pressure canner. After quite a bit of research, I decided on this digital one and am so glad I did. It takes the guess work out of processing times and weights and measures. I live above 6,000 ft, so it is just one less thing to worry about. I have used this for pressure canning and water bath canning and it does a beautiful job. My canned goods are still good more than a year later even, nice tight seals.
After year of use it malfunctioned if not paying attention the melted cord would have probably caused my house to burn down. Very sad because I loved this unit. Sad that it died just after year of use.

Bought mine in April. Started out great. After a batch of tomatoes, I had some syphoning, put the liner pot in the dishwasher (instructions said was safe) NOT! Lining of pot peeled off.

I love this canner. I have a small older glass top stove. This canner leaves my stove free for other things. I love that I don't have to babysit this canner to keep the pressure right.
