Every serious gardener needs two canners; a huge one that can handle days of large harvests, and a small one for when you come into the house with just a handful of veggies that you don't want to consume that day, but that you don't want to feed to the livestock or otherwise waste. This sturdy little canner is wonderful for those mini harvest days. Many times I've used it to process just one or two pints.
It holds 7 pints or 9 half pints (the ninth doesn't quite make it to the bottom if it's the tapered style, but you can rest its lowest thread, just below the metal band, on two neighboring jars).
I like the fact that it doesn't require a rubber gasket (which eventually deteriorates) and its single wiggle-weight does your choice of 5, 10, or 15 pounds of pressure. Its smaller size allows it to both heat up and cool down more quickly than its jumbo cousins, which can give you a firmer product by reducing the time that it's cooking before and after reaching pressure.
I've had mine for several years and nothing on this little workhorse has needed replacing. I recommend it highly.

This is the second All-American I have (I have #921 - 21 1/2-Qt also), and I love it!
The smaller size means that it sits on top of the stove at all times, ready to be used. While making dinner on the front burners, I often have this canner working on the back burner. After we finally get up from the table (noone ever seems to want to!), depending on what I canned, but usually something that goes for 90 minutes at 10 psi, it is time to take jars out of the canner. There are some steps to do in between, but our table is in the kitchen, so I get up to check on/turn off burner, etc., while still being able to enjoy the wonderful conversation and shananigans going on at the table. Once the canner is cool, it gets a vinegar & soap bath (I have hard water), dried and put on back burner for next load, jars are on a towel ready to cool and seal overnight, and then be put away in the morning while the coffee is perking.
The smaller size means I don't feel guilty if I don't have two levels of jars to can (one on top of the other). If I only have 4 pints of picadillo to can, then I only can 4 pints, and no guilt about all that space being wasted. :-)
Don't get me wrong, I love my 921 also - I would not know what to do without it, but this 910 has just as much place in my kitchen.

I own a very large canner, but when we moved to our present
home, I have a counter-top Jenn Aire range. There is no
way my canner would fit on this stove.
This 10-1/2 quart All American Canner fits exactly on my eyes.
And besides this, there are only two of us at home now, so
I don't need to can as much.
This canner has worked perfectly for my needs. I would
recommend it to everyone. One of the best benefits is
that you do not need a gasket with this canner. All you
do is oil between the top and canner. I also had a question,
so I called Customer Service with All American, and got right
through (to an English speaking representative). They were
very helpful and answered all my questions.
