I've had a Presto pressure cooker (6 quart) for more than 25 years. It's still going strong. When I needed a smaller version I turned to Presto. It's a good pot. It cooks just like my 6 quart. It's weighty without weighing a ton. Couple things: the tray inside is flimsy and it discolors. Also, the bottom handle that helps lock the cooker twists when the pot gets hot -- no matter how tightly I screw it on. Presto needs to rethink that. That handle should be riveted like my old pot. It makes it harder to seal and unseal.
