Five Star Reviews: | 57% I love this except I lost the floater on the first ... July 21, 2017 I love this except I lost the floater on the first washing. Bought the floater and sealer on amazon and haven't lost it since. Can make a beef stew in 15 minutes. Bought one for my daughter for her birthday because I think this is a great addition to a busy persons schedule that still wants to cook at home. Pure Magic! May 18, 2017 I love kitchen gadgets in general but this one is simply a pure thing of joy. It has really helped me develop a quick and simple means of having yummy steamed veggies. Toss them in, hit the button and in minutes... Magic!Looking forward to learning more recipes focused on health but for now, my simple stuff is really making me love this machine more every day. 100% satisfied Fast & Easy Meals April 9, 2017 Very versatile! Bought for my adult son (at his request) for quick and easy meals. He is very happy with it, loves to cook using it, and says clean-up is a breeze! Good Meals March 5, 2017 My husband is the cook in our family. I bought this for him one Christmas. I wasn't sure if he liked it but I've been getting good meals ever since. Great Pressure Cooker! October 25, 2015 This is the most used appliance in our home. It's easy and quick to make meals. I can make breakfast, lunch and dinner in this Pressure cooker. I add my ingredients and turn the lid and walk away and in a little bit its done! I love it! I'm giving this to my newly married daughter for Christmas! Great to Have. August 14, 2015 Had watched infomercials and read online about pressure cooker, but couldn't decide. Then just did it! So glad I did. A very versatile cooker. Ordered mine from Amazon along with the information/recipe book as too many folks had complained that the books that came with the cooker itself left much to be desired. So glad I did. Still learning to cook many different items and recipes with the pressure cooker. | 57% I love this except I lost the floater on the first ...

Four Star Reviews: | 11% Great, but the times are misleading January 17, 2017 If I made nothing by rice in this, it would totally be worth it. It takes longer than the cook time to make things though. None of the reaipe times include the pressurization time which can be up to 17 mins. Great product December 13, 2016 I am cooking a lot faster with this product and I am very happy with my purchase. The Power Pressure Cooker XL will operate properly up to a maximum altitude of 2.000 ft above sea level. October 21, 2016 I bought the Power Pressure Cooker XL because of the pressure canning feature. I was disappointed to see the Altitude and Pressure Canning section: The Power Pressure Cooker XL will operate properly up to a maximum altitude of 2.000 ft above sea level. Do not use this unit for pressure canning above an altitude of 2,000 ft." I live at 6,000 + so I will not be able to use this cooker for pressure canning. So that is the reason for my 4 star rating. Love it. Use it often. September 22, 2016 There is a learning curve to using it. But once you understand the process...it greatly reduces cooking time. Clean up is a snap! Time and money saver but needs better instructions and recipes! November 29, 2015 I like this product because of it versitility, but felt the instruction booklet and the included mini-cook books could have used better general instructions. Funny, how something like not being able to figure out how to set the timer according to the instructions can have on your opinion of a product. I have yet to use the canning function, but did cook a roast. The roast was not as tender as I had hoped, so will try it well-done next time. It greatly reduces cooking time and power useage, so I'll give it a bunch more tries before I give up on it. Take the pressure out of cooking. November 29, 2015 Amazing product. Does what is says.Only issue is that if incorrect timing is inputted, there is no way to undo as it can't be gauged down.On the whole it's works perfectly. Enjoying d meals.No long time standing around a stove. | 11% Great, but the times are misleading January 17, 2017 If I made nothing by rice in this, it would totally be worth it.

Three Star Reviews: | 7% Other than that I have liked it, but want to return and get instant ... April 13, 2017 Does not have sauté feature and can't have cook time over 1hr. Other than that I have liked it, but want to return and get instant pot brand. The Power Pressure Cooker XL is not worth it. June 17, 2016 When it comes down to it, I would give the regular power cooker more stars. The controls on the XL do not work as well, the pressure vent is awkward and harder to use, So far I have not had a good experience with this item March 23, 2016 So far I have not had a good experience with this item. I had to get a replacement part after the first time I tried to use it. When I put the new part in and tried to use it again it still did not work correctly. I will try it one more time and see what happens. Maybe I just got a lemon. Three Stars February 15, 2016 It is a good machine, however, I returned it because I wanted a stainless steel inner pot. This Product Stop Working and I would like to send it back October 27, 2015 This Product Stop Working and I would like to send it back, I know it has been a long time, I only used once and one month later I used it again and it would not work I check the plugs and number a times.

Two Star Reviews: | 6% good news/ bad news..... May 29, 2017 good news/ bad news...I bought this about six weeks ago . I 'm going to compare it to the Instant Pot , because I've had both. The good news is that this PC is simpler- which I loved. It was easy for me, a person who always has trouble figuring out a manual- to start cooking immediately because of the simplicity of the buttons. The food tasted fantastic. Whenever asked, they claim that this is a stainless steel pot. Well- the outside of it is. But the inside, which comes in contact with your food- is not. The inner pot is a very lightweight teflon coated pot. I don't want teflon. Would rather have stainless steel. The upper lid appears to be aluminum. Both teflon and aluminum have negative effects on our bodies.In addition, the floating vent ( not the release vent, but the vent inside the handle) fell out after one month's use and no matter how hard my husband and I tried, we could not get it to stay in. So instead of being a pressure cooker, all of the steam was released out of the hole in the handle. The liquid inside thus evaporated. Food burned and the meat got tough. I threw it out a few days ago, got an Instant Pot, which is clearly more solidly made. The inner pot and the inner lid are both made of stainless steel in the Instant Pot. I will say, however, that I do find the Instant Pot more complicated to work. So there you have it, my views of the two pots. I will say this, though. I will never, ever be without an electric pressure cooker from now on because the food tastes so great! unsatsfied December 5, 2016 For me it was hard to understand the directions. So I returned it. I also wanted a 4 quart. I am very disappointed in this September 21, 2016 The lid does not seal very well, I am very disappointed in this product though this has a feature to bottle your own food ... December 2, 2015 though this has a feature to bottle your own food, I did not know that it would not work in my location. Only works in elevations that are 2,000 feet or less. I feel like this was poorly made October 5, 2015 I feel like this was poorly made. It worked great for about 2 1/2 months and then stopped working well, right after the 90 day warranty expired and there was nothing I could do.

One Star Reviews: | 19% Terrible Quality & Service. October 19, 2017 Received the first order with a couple of screws on the lid fallen out. Amazon sent out a replacement right away, that was great.After 9 months of use, twice a week, the Teflon coating of the inner pot is fading revealing the aluminum (?).We contacted the manufacturer today for replacement, they redirected us to Amazon and Amazon on the other hand can't replace it after the 30 days. So we are returning the product today. power pressure cooker, instructions not compatable or useful. September 6, 2017 it does not function like the manual directions dictate. i made one meal with it, and that was a real pain. it does not build up pressure when you lock the lid in place. there is no click when you rotate the cover to the lock position. older pressure cooker worked better. September 5, 2017 no taste for foods. older pressure cooker worked better. Three Stars December 20, 2016 Worst purchase ever, useless if you want to use it more than twice. Millennials will love it as a kitchen accessory.Over a period of a few months it slowly loses pressure and takes longer and longer to cook.Edit: totally useless. Terribly disappointed. I returned it February 15, 2016 Did all the pre prep work as directed. Filled it with the food I wanted to cook. Turned it on and it didn't work! Terribly disappointed.

So Dissappointed January 7, 2016 I got this for my wife and she hates it, she says she is going back to her slow cooker. She put in a small roast and it took over a hr to cook it, tried another one cooked it 40 min still bloody in middle, so went for another 53 min still red in middle so added 20 more minutes ans she says she wont ever use it again, It says to put it on the meat chicken and we do. I am his wife and yes I do hate it I may as well be using my slow cooker. I don't know if I need to try a different brand or what but I was so looking forward to this and enden up so disappointed and feel like I wasted my money Total waste of money - its a nice size planter however October 27, 2015 tops doesnt seal as claimed. 30 minute meal took 2 hours 30 minutes becaue pot wouldnt seal. Total waste of money - its a nice size planter however. |
