" ... The lid is really hard to place on ... "
" ... it tumbled and I was shocked to see the amount of damage! ... This is not substantial enough to last . ... cheap cheap cheap body/casing. ... "
" ... Has plastic underneath the lid so if you want 100% stainless this will not work. ... "
" ... It's all it's cracked up to be. ... "
" ... Pulled it out of the box and there’s a huge dent on the side of it 😡😡. ... "
" ... Maybe I should contact the manufacturer, because right now, I have to watch the pot to ensure it will build pressure. ... "
" ... it works fine, but the support is very bad , the lid handle broke because its very weak and is hollow so f it falls from less than a foot it will brake the round handle in the top, and they don't give you warranty it should not brake but is a weak plastic, then just sell that part only not the whole lid, I am not the only one this happens to. ... "
