I gave this Presto 6-quart pressure cooker to my daughter for her birthday .  She works full time and thought this would be a real time-saver for her.  It has met her expectations and is very happy with it.  She's able to prepare meals in minutes, which means she's not only saving time, but eating better.  In comparing this unit with others available, the price was great and turned out to be a very good value.
