I have owned this product since 2021 and I love it! I am an experienced canner and I own a Presto 16 Quart Pressure Canner as well as an All American 930 Pressure Canner, but this one has become my absolute "go to" for quick smaller canning jobs. It is quiet, efficient and fool-proof. The canner itself gives step-by step instructions for use. I was so impressed with this canner that I bought another one for my daughter. Perfect for beginners and people just starting canning.
I bought my canner just over a month ago. it has had problems from the start. the seal it came with doesnt seem to seal properly and it drips. I Pulled out all my items and had my 4 lbs of ground beef and 4 lbs of ham ready to go, had my water boiling on the stove, and my broth for My ham.. my jars are washed And ready to cycle... I move my canner onto My countertop to start warming jars and adding food.... and my stupid new canner just beeps at Me, the screen is blank/no lights, and it wont reset. it seems to be not working at all. I am very frusterated with this. I have used it maybe 3 or 4 times, and purchased it on the recomendation of the Rose Red Homestead show. It Has turned out to be very frusterating and I worry It is dangerous. Now, it wont turn on at all. What a waste of money.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I had used the old pressure canner and had a gas stove. I was so frustrated using it because you basically had to babysit the pot and watch the temp. Guage that it did not drop below or go too high above the temp. need to can. This canner takes all the Hassel away and makes canning fun and a pleasure to do. I have taught 2 friends how to can and this canner is the way to go. I remember when I first started to can we did not have much money so the old canner and our big garden kept our cupboards full. this canner is making my work so much easier because it is automatic and prompt you through the process. Well worth the price.
I am so happy with the 17 quart Presto Precise! I have had some health setbacks, so it took me awhile before I could fully appreciate how awesome this canner is! I have enjoyed using the 12 quart since it came out, so was eager to try the new 17 quart. The directions in the quick start guide are very easy to follow. I always keep it handy when canning. Have now used the 17 quart both for water bath canning and pressure canning. It has worked smoothly with no issues. I like how quiet it is during processing. There is no more wondering if the weight is rocking at the right rate or adjusting the flame on my stove. For my first canner-full, I made tomato sauce, and let me tell you it was a game changer to get so much done in one batch! All my jars sealed within minutes of taking them out of the canner. I am very impressed and pleased with how well the canner is working out for me !
This is the best thing ever. I did have an issue and call the company. Backed up the product 100%. They offered and I expected. Got a new one.. thanks to a company that backs up there products!
A lot of general online reviews are negative just because we don't think to review things we've had positive experiences with, we like to complain!! However this is very convenient to use, takes a lot of human error possibilities out, works great!!!
