Best pressure cooker for the price. Bought one for my mom and she loved it so much. Red and black color looks very expensive. She got the item without the drip cup and we just emailed support for aobosi and they send the cup hastle free. I recommend this to anyone. Help support are so friendly. I know they are from asia and doesn't speak english well, but overall very happy with their help. Thanks again aobosi for all the help.

We have had this pressure cooker about 2 weeks and love it.  It is very quiet and keeps the heat inside the cooker.  My wife has owned a lot of the on stove pressure cookers.  She has made the best chicken and noodles in those cookers and you can do the same with this one with no heat spill over on the stove or around the cooker.  We plan to make a meal each week with the new cooker.  With too of us the food will last a while.  We may freeze some it and the rest ration out over the week.  We like the stainless steel pot and decided not to purchase the one coated with Teflon because of the dangers of using it after the bad research done on the metal as far as developing cancer and having the Teflon come off on the food on occasion.
  Be sure to order several of the recipe books that are available on line.  We ordered two of the books that Amazon recommended on our pressure cooker order.  Maker sure to start out with the easy to follow recipes in the book received with the cooker then read clear through the recipe before starting the meal. It takes time and patience to thoroughly understand and appreciate the cooker.  Pressure cooking is much faster and makes food more tasty in a short amount of time.  It is a good way to cook meat and vegetables to make a good healthy meal.  Love this cooker.
 We have a glass top electric stove and they don't work as efficiently with a pressure cooker sitting on top of them.  Many old time pressure cookers are not recommended to be used on a glass top stove.  I spent hours reviewing the electric cookers and decided the Instant Pot was the best for our family.

Awesome pressure cooker.

Background: due to various circumstances, I had to move out on my own two years ago; never really cooked in my life; not sure how I would survive; thank goodness I found this pressure cooker; it saved my life.

I have been using the IP-LUX60 6quart for about two years now, usually about twice a week to cook beans, chicken, beef, fish, lamb, and pork. I find it as simple as placing the food inside the stainless steel container, pressing the button for what I want to cook (Beans, Meat, Poulty, etc), and then waiting until it is done. It takes maybe 15 minutes to get up to pressure (during which time it may let out some steam), and anywhere from 15 minutes (chicken) to 45 minutes (large beef roast) to finish cooking.

Even after two years (used 100+ times), it is still going strong; if anything, the silicone sealing ring has become just a little dirty and some of the plastic wrap on the buttons is pealing away. Other things:

-read the instructions first. this is important so you don't burn yourself like I did the first time I used it.
-It comes with the cooker, a stainless steel pot, and a recipe book.
-the stainless steel pot was a very important point for me; I try to stay away from teflon coated, etc.
-the cord is a two-prong cord.
-the second or third time I used it, I thought it was broken because it just kept on letting out steam and never sealed; it turns out I had the pressure release tab at the top turned 180 degrees the wrong way.
-after it is done cooking, the pot and lid will be hot, be careful!
-after it is done cooking, there is a quick release valve at the top to quickly release the pressure; if you use this, be careful, the steam shoots up and is hot!
-recently, it has been making creaking noises when it is cooking; it might be I just never noticed before; the instantpot website says this is because of friction between the lid and housing due to the temp and pressure change; still cooks well, though. If it blows up, I will take away a few stars.
-I added some pics of the pressure cooker, lid, stainless steel pot, and a shot of the quick release valve.
-I think there is a new model out, the IP-DUO60.

Anyway, highly recommended product!

This is a fine pressure cooker for the price. Aluminum, not stainless, but I'm not sure I care. I bought this to make a decent reuben, but have only cooked one thing in it so far: bottom round steak; a very cheap steak that normally must be cooked at low heat for over an hour. I cooked one for two hours once in a skillet and it still came out pretty bad. I cooked one of these in the Presto for 15 minutes and it tasted so much better. 6 qt is plenty big enough.

We've had this pressure cooker since September of '12. It's durable, extremely easy to use, and just makes cooking SO EASY. Like...ridiculously easy. The settings are super simple and very self-explanatory. I highly recommend this digital pressure cooker over a basic one that does not have a digital display or any of the non-electric ones. The simplicity and user-friendly digital Nesco pressure cooker is worth the money. We have not encountered a single issue with it at all. Love love love love love it.

*Edit*
I just wished to add, now that it's been another year since I posted the review, that we are STILL using this pressure cooker every week and have yet to encounter a single issue with it. It's more durable than I ever imagined it could be. Honestly, I expected to have problems pop up at some point in the past nearly two years and nothing has happened! It still works like it's brand new. I've even been able to make bone stocks in it recently, something I didn't think could be done outside of a stock pot for hours and hours and hours. But within an hour in this thing I've got stock that's 10x better than made the traditional way. Makes the best, most tender and juicy chicken EVER. Another one of my favorites is to wrap asparagus in proscuitto, brown it on the browning setting, and then cook it on a medium-high pressure setting and it is TO DIE FOR.

I love this pressure cooker!  I have used it 2-3 times a week.  It is very addictive to put this cooker to the 30 minute dinner test from start to table.  I bought the 8qt. I am cooking for a family of 4 but soon may have to buy the smaller 6qt because we will be back down to just 2 of us.  This week I cooked two packs of ribs in a sweet and sour sauce and it was yummy!  The cleanup is no different then my stainless steel pans and the quality is superb.  I would definitely buy this brand again

used the MaxiMatic EPC-808BL Elite Platinum Digital Stainless Steel Pressure Cooker several times now and it does a fantastic job, simple to use and easy to clean. We owed other electric cookers but this is the best.

I love this pressure cooker.  I use it every day.  I even convince my daughter and sister-in-law to each get one.  They love it as well.  Everything cooks so much faster and easier.  Clean up is easy with only one pot to clean.  It is easy to use and I feel so much safer using it.

Update: Changing review to 4 stars, as the cooker stopped pressurizing consistently 5 months in. Replacing the gasket did the trick, but we'll not be happy if this isn't a fluke --  too expensive a cooker for the added cost. (For comparison, we owned our last cooker for four years and never needed our replacement gasket.)

Love this pressure cooker! We've used it several times a week for a few months now, and it's a joy to work with -- even nicer than the Fissler it replaced (after hundreds of uses, the lid handle finally cracked when dropped). It maintains pressure better, even on an inferior stove, and it's wonderfully simple to operate and clean -- pretty too. The wide, shallow shape is much easier to maneuver, despite the larger capacity, plus it reduces liquids quickly and is roomy for boiling water bath canning. And the base heats evenly despite being larger than the burner. Bottom line: A pressure cooker is an oft-used essential for us, and we can't imagine liking one more -- would buy it again in a heartbeat.

Also good to know:
Capacity is actually 12 liters, or about 12.7 quarts.
Indicator notches are at .4 bar (5.8 PSI) and .8 bar (11.6 PSI); venting occurs at 1.2 bar (17.4 PSI).
Zero issues with burning/browning food under pressure.
Haven't found the handles too small or hot (electric stove), and we often use the cooker a couple of times in a row.

I've purchased other brands (Magefesa, Mirror, and Hawkins) before, and this is the best pressure cooker I've ever purchased by far. Buy it, you won't be disappointed.

I love this cooker and I have used it to replace my crockpot, steamer, pressure cooker, and electric skillet.  One of the best features is the ability to brown meat or saute vegetables right in the cooker prior to slow-cooking meals or simmering a casserole.  I do need a little practice in pressure cooking, but will be trying it soon.

This is the best and easier to use pressure cooker.  I had to pay too much for shipping and  handling but it is worth it!

My mother has loved cooking with a pressure cooker her entire life and she was devastated when her unit bit the dust. I was fortunate to find a new unit and at a very competitive price. She is very pleased with this new unit.

The Gourmia GPC400 is the perfect smart pressure cooker!  Finally, a pressure cooker that is just the right size!  It's perfectly engineered and easy to use!  Thank you for a great cooker.

This is the EASIEST most FOOL-PROOF pressure cooker(s) I own.  I bought my 2nd last December and thankfully, I have HOPE my young adult daughter and teenage son (who both have autism) can cook dishes they love themselves.  My 3 Fagor stove-top pressure cookers were good pressure cookers but now sit unused except for holidays.  I'm contemplating selling them and purchasing two more GoWise.  The 8 cup units allow us to cook big quantities I used to cook in my largest Fagor (10+cup).  My older daughter can independently make chili, meat sauce and is learning to make roasts on her own.  The inner stainless steel pot is excellent quality and easy to clean.  I have made picture charts illustrating safety features from the GoWise manual and my kids have been able to cook several dishes on their own.  My experience with GoWise Customer Service has also been EXCELLENT (see company reviews).

I have owned 2 Presto pressure cookers for many years, one was a 4-quart, the other a 6-quart.  I make a lot of soups, stews and stock for my recipes and wanted something a bit larger, so I purchased this Presto 8-quart.  First of all, in my opinion, Presto Brand is the finest pressure cooker for the quality and price.  It makes the best-tasting soups and broths in much less time than over the stove cooking, that are also much healthier in nutrients.  Easier than ever before, this new pressure cooker lets me present my meals like I've worked all day on them.
