OK, I use my pressure cooker A LOT and although this one has no bells or whistles, it works quite well. I've had this one for a number of years and I used it at least once a month.  The lid attaches and comes off easily all the time, and the parts are easy to clean.  The one drawback is that the handle (which is attached to the pot by a screw) became loose, and although I can tighten it up by tightening the screw head inside the handle, it becomes loose again after a few more uses (it's still tight after using it 4 times more), so I'm pretty sure sooner or later it's going to become stripped (one star off for that). But so far overall, it's been holding up (4 years) and it really is a workhorse. Although it's no longer shiny on the inside or out (just like my favorite heavy duty aluminum cooking pot I bought in Chinatown 15 years ago......), I really love cooking with this.
