I have had this for close to a year now, and I am very pleased with it. There is a slight learning curve - for example, head space needs to be more accurate to minimize siphoning - but it is well worth it. It doesn't heat up the kitchen, it permits you to move on to other activities once the canner has stopped venting, and we have found it to be as reliable as their stovetop canner. On days when I might have not canned anything because I needed to work in the garden or had virtual meetings or such, I am able to get aoad in before those things start. I find myself grabbing a lot more sale items because it's easy enough to do a canner load when I get home. Also worth noting, I have observed excellent, timely, and appropriate responses from their customer service team when folks have posted with issues in their Facebook group. I would absolutely buy this again. I initially bought it because our stove was not handling canning well (overheating and cracking the countertop). Now I dread days when I have a big enough canning batch to need the stovetop canner because that feels so labor intensive in comparison.
This is a game changer for safe canning. Follow the directions diligently and you’ll do great. Especially nice for folks with glass cooktops and those who don’t want to add extra heat during canning season.
I bought this about a year ago (?). I LOVE it. I wanted to switch from stovetop pressure canner. Doesn't heat up kitchen & very easy to use. Also has a very nice & helpful laminated step-by-step guide. Follow that religiously everytime I pressssure can. Haven't tried the water bath option, yet. Thank you Presto!
I absolutely LOVE this canner!!! So easy to operate! Just follow the directions, tap a few buttons and walk away! I have made over 400 jars of canned food with it. I love it so much that I bought a backup canner! The only wish that I have is to be able to water bath quart jars.
