I've owned the Manttra 6 Qt stainless cooker for a year and find it reliable, easy to clean and very efficient in doing what pressure cookers should do -- make tender food quickly. I use my mostly to cook beans and other dried foods and it does a great job. I'm buying more for gifts this year.

This is my first pressure cooker, and it surpassed the claims on the box. The food taste great, it is three times quicker to make, and clean up is too easy. I am a guy who thinks he can cook; I can't stand my own cooking. Gram slam, pressure cookers are fast, food taste out of this world, and clean up is too easy. I got it on clearance ($24) and was scared stupid it would blow up and scald me. First time out it was quick (20 mins) and perfect. Several other times, hey, still the same. Even my very picky weight conscious daughter is woofing down my chow!!! I hate, hate, hate, lentils; my wife loves lentils. Man, the lentil soup was like candy, I got seconds, and took some for lunch at work. I nuked the soup at work, and I thought my bud who was crewing on a sand which was going to come over the table and snatch my soup. Yeah, the instruction booklet is translated from India. Of course the recipes are from India, sound fantastic, but I don't have the stuff in the recipes. That might be the only minus, maybe. Pressure cookers are great, no matter what brand. I figured out when the steam comes fast, throttle down the stove till it comes out in puffs, twenty minutes later your done. I got mine on clearance for $24 (sorry Amazon), but if your lazy, you got to rediscover the old school way of pressure cooking quick and dirty.

I purchased a Mantra Pressure Cooker. It worked well after a number of uses. Shortly afterwards, the cooking ability of the Mantra started to diminish. The handle would shake and water would leak out from the handle and the circumference of the cooker. After a few more cooking session, the steam/valve stopped working. I finally trashed it. Not sure if I had a defective one?

This product has everything I wanted. I recently converted to induction cooking and needed a stainless steel cooker. This one was inexpensive, attractive, and highly functional. Better than anticipated.

I have used a pressure cooker for over 40 years. I wanted a stainless one and this appeared to be the best choice given the price and reviews. My main complaint is the instruction booklet. If Manttra is going to actively promote their product in the US it looks like an instruction booklet that isn't just a translation would be merited. I've used it three times. Once cooking navy beans from soaked beans I had to go back and cook them a second time. I'm used to a Mirror and it has a top attachment that giggles mightily. this Mcooker just whispers so it will take some getting used to. I still think it's a good cooker and I'll figure it out.

MY MANTTRA STAINLESS PRESSURE COOKER DOES NOT LOOK LIKE
THESE PICTURES. MINE HAS TWO HANDLES ON THE LID. I HAVE
SOME CONCERNS ABOUT IT....(1) THE BOTTOM OF THE PAN IS NOT
LEVEL, IT IS RAISED IN THE MIDDLE...SO IT DOES NOT SIT FLAT
ON MY STOVE. (2) IT DOES NOT JIGGLE, SO I CAN'T TELL IF I
NEED TO RAISE THE HEAT, OR IF IT IS ABOUT TO BLOW UP. I
HOPE THESE ARE BETTER THAN MINE. BY THE WAY, I LOVE USING
PRESSURE COOKERS - BEEN USING THEM FOR ABOUT 40 YEARS.

This pressure cooker worked great for the first year, but then the quality decreased dramatically. It now takes a LOT of water and more time to cook the same amount of food. I finally decided that I'm going to have to replace it -- will be looking at other brands.

I've owned this cooker for a few years. I don't use it very often, mostly because I forget I even have it! When I DO use it, I love it! It thaws and par boils frozen chix in under 30 minutes. It made fantastic pressure cooker baked beans. It's just a nice pan to have when you want dinner fast. I just need to store it in a more visible location!!! Recently, the little plastic part inside the lid handle broke, which allowed the pressure regulator to spin all around, possible toward your hand while you're moving the pan. Searched online and found that replacement parts, besides the gasket, for my model(36000) were hard to find, and the shipping was almost as much as the parts!! Finally found a site, and they're 1/2 the cost of other places. I found [...] to be the best place, in terms of price, for parts for these cookers. I really like my pressure cooker, and would recommend it. I only gave it 4 stars because it didn't come with any trivet or rack. Not a huge deal, but it would come in handy.

The Manttra 6 quart pressure cooker is well worth the money! It is easy to clean, cooks great and is quality stainless steel.

I love using this pressure cooker. It shortens my cooking time for a lot of meals. I'm glad I purchased one.
