I have a Presto Pressure cooker that I inherited from my mother, I use it all the time. When my daughter had a baby I purchased the Presto 01362 6-Quart Stainless Steel Pressure Cooker for her so I could help with meals at her house, and then she could keep it when I left. I was so impressed with it, as soon as I have the money I will buy one for myself and retire my other one which has to be at least 40 years old. It still works great! But the new one has some great features and a more modern look. I think the Presto brand is very dependable, never had any problems with it, I've used a different brand before that blew up spewing chicken soup all over my kitchen. If you are looking for a SAFE, dependable pressure cooker than the Presto 01362 6-Quart Stainless Steel Pressure Cooker is the one to get.
