It has something like 8 safety mechanisms built in so it's very difficult to get burned. I like the valve that allows you to choose at what pressure your food gets cooked, and I like how easy it is to twist the lid off. It also comes with a clear glass lid, which is handy. I love love LOVE soups, chilis, and stews, so after pressure cooking the bulk, I can add the more delicate items, cover with the glass lid, and continue cooking in the same pot.
Notice that this is EIGHT quarts - that's 2 gallons - big! Great for folks like me who like to cook for lots of people. This sucker holds a ton of minestrone! If you will be cooking mostly for very few people, this will be too tall and cumbersome for you. You do need a good size space to store all of it (thus the 4 stars).
The trivet is also a nice feature. You can bake potatoes. Or (my fave) butternut squash, then make a soup out of it without having to heat up the oven, and in 1/3 the time. I've been very pleased with this and have already recommended it to everyone.
Poor design, didn't work. - J. Murphy - SD, CA
Upon opening the box I noticed a part that was already broken. It was part of the handle and didn't effect the performance, but on top of that the pop up pressure gasket didn't work. It would work if you stood there and watched it and tapped it, but what's the point. I had reservations when I bought, but the price was so good, I should have stuck with my gut. Fortunately Amazon Warehouse Deals was excellent about the return and customer service.
