Good value. Directions are incomprehensible. Obviously not written by a literate English speaker but was able to figure out how to operate it. It turns tough leather-like California beef into beef as tender as Wyoming beef. California has the worst grizzle in the U.S. Don't know why we can't import some from Argentina. Worlds best grass fed, no hormones, cheap.

I am hoping my wife's insistence upon getting a pressure cooker but getting "a deal" was not misplaced. Only time will tell. I searched for a "name brand", and the search directed me to eBay and this vendor. I have avoided eBay and its "legions" - obviously for quite some time. The image displayed on the site looked "identical" to the "name brand" product I was searching for. But, there was ___NO___ use of the "name brand" name, logo, association, or for that matter even a "compares to" reference. And yet, I still made the purchase. Delivery was prompt and the shipping carton exhibited little observable wear from transit. The product, accessories, and documents appeared new and in "new condition" once unpacked. The "manual" is about as sparse as can be. The requisite safety disclaimers are followed by the most cursory of loosely translated explanations. As is to be expected, there is grammatical and syntax irregularities peppered throughout the text. There are "recipes" included - I suppose as examples of use. Since my primary consideration was as a replacement for my 10+ year old rice cooker, it was pleasing to find a "recipe" expressly for this. The controls include popular presets - like white rice, brown rice - so "in theory" one button operation. Well, the first batch following the directions ("recipe") to the letter was markedly better than the LAST batch out of the rice cooker being replaced - to be sure. However, It was also far from optimum. Too much water was/is most likely the answer. I did not find a significant time savings in using the pressure cooker for rice. I suppose I had been led to think this method was much faster. Perhaps for other foods/recipes. Against the one-trick-pony rice cooker, it was nearly a coin toss. The cosmetics, finishes, functions appear overwhelmingly similar. Possibly it is an OEM for the "name brand". This is why I have not rated the "durability" above. It's also SILLY to be solicited for an evaluation one week after purchase. It is unfathomable as to why corporations can't figure that simple fact out. Are you listening, eBay? You probably are, and since I didn't say nice things about you, you will probably censor my honest review - finding SOME reason you deem worthy to exclude the truth from reaching the public. At the end of the day, marketing honesty would have gone a long way toward increasing customer comfort and perception of reliability - pre, AND post, sale. The last off-brand product my wife purchased was in a similar price range, she said. With her experience being overall positive she has optimistic expectations that this product will perform and last satisfactorily. And, it cost about 20%+ LESS than the "name brand". If all those things come together, then this can be considered "a good deal".Read full review

So.. I finally got a chance to use my cooker yesterday. The result was fall off the bone babyback ribs, tender, juicy and flavorful...in spite of the instructions. There's nothing in MY instruction booklet that really resemble recipes. It would be nice to have photos, cooking times and ingredients of actual dishes we can prepare. I downloaded instructions from another pressure online that looked similar to this one and had to pretty much guess and experiment. I am impressed by it's construction. It appears to be well made and attractive. The meal I created in just one use was worth the price I paid for the unit itself! Overall I am pleased with this Christmas gift to myself.

Pretty easy to use, but without instructions requires more trial and error than necessary. Claims to have 2 pressure settings. I sure can't find the low setting other than slow cooking. Again without documentation who knows. The instructions they sent are not readable, helpful or functional.

Whoever wrote the instruction manual for this appliance is not familiar with the English language. They're very hard to understand and they don't go over all of the features. This could be a very good pressure cooker but I'm not sure if I'm using it correctly. I would like to be able to use all of the presets but I don't understand what some of them do.
