This is my second one.  I dropped the lid and cracked the first one.  Pros - easy to use, cooks fast, durable, safe for the most part.  Cons - extremely heavy.  Not a problem unless you have chronic pain or arthritis.  Also, the rubber part will smell like whatever you cooked.  Lastly, it can be unsafe.  My first one had hot water shoot out of it like a water fall when I released the pressure.  The main way to avoid this is to not put too much liquid the pot.  Most things make their own liquid anyway, like frozen veggies.  Also, take it off the stove and lower the pressure one step at a time.  For example go from setting 2 to setting 1 then release steam.  All in all, i like it.  Its a whole lot easier to use than my instapot.
