I love this thing! I absolutely love it. It's heavy-duty yet lightweight, beautifully polished, has ample capacity, and with all the safety features very welcome in my kitchen. I do have one beef with it, but I consider it minor. I'll cover that problem at the bottom.

Because of the straight sides and slightly rounded bottom I get ample heat absorption through the vessel. It heats completely with two pounds of food in it in less than ten minutes and continues to cook at a very low (I use gas) simmer setting after that. With the additional safety releases I really don't worry about using it either. And it cleans up beautifully.

The weighted pressure relief valve tells me exactly when to turn the heat down and reminds me that it's cooking. It's such a simple and straightforward design that I really can't say much more about it. To date the two "stews" I've cooked in it were tender, delectable, and addicting.

My only complaint is that the "interlock" on the handle sometimes gets stuck in the locked or unlocked position. This causes me to have to "jiggle" the lock a bit to get the interlock to work. If it's not sealing right I don't get a pressure build-up. If doesn't drop down after pressure release I can't get the pot open. Again, this is minor because jiggling the handle will get the interlock to behave.

Works well. I'm used to pressure cookers so this wasn't different but the red pin close to the handle got me. It wasn't in the right position when I got the cooker and when I tried pressuring it won't work. Then I realized it had to be up, not inside the hole.

This is the best pressure cooker I have ever owned. It is truly a perfect size and cleans very easily. If you are a person that needs a meal cooked quickly on those days that you dont have a lot of time to work with. This pot is ideaL!!!!

I was using Presto 01362 6-Quart Stainless Steel Pressure Cooker years and it was time to get new pressure cooker. This Imusa pressure cooker is super light and better price than Presto 01362 6-Quart Stainless Steel Pressure Cooker. I am so happy with my decision.

This is the best pressure cooker I've ever had. Perfect size, light, and easy to clean. My cooking time cuts to half. It's the best value in market. You will get more than what you paid for with this pressure cooker. Highly recommended.

I like this product, works as expected. need to clean by hand though, but easy to clean. I will recommend this product to my friends.

Before buying this, try to find replacement parts yourself. Unlike the poplur brands like presto, no replacement parts are easily available. Do not buy this cooker, save yourself from headache later.
