" ... The display on this unit is much better quality and you'll know it as soon as you touch the control buttons. ... Whatever pot you purchase make sure it has a "controllable pressure" button & not just time adjustable. ... "
" ... I really like the push button which releases the steam. ... "
" ... It is completely automatic by just pressing some buttons after put your foods in the pot, and then just wait for it’s done. ... "
" ... This unit has all of the same settings and buttons that the one on TV has plus is way more infinitely adjustable that the product on TV is plus is almost 50% larger in capacity. ... "

" ... That's all most do is they shorten the time and that's ok unless something else is in the pot you want to cook longer, adjusting pressure down allows all items to cook just right all together perfectly as one meal with no mush. ... It's by far the best kitchen item we ever bought, that includes our new $1300 convection wall oven and our KitchenAid stand mixer we love so very much . ... "

" ... Also, as with others it automatically goes into warming mode (missed what PSI it started at, but the last one I saw was 2.3 PSI) ... Still loving it for capacity countdown/countup timer and PSI. ... "
