First off and the main reason this lost a star is that it comes with no English instructions - you get German, French and Czech. This I found quite irritating and spent ages trying to scan & Google-translate the original before giving up. As this was my first pressure-cooker, I think English instructions are a prerequisite and should even be mandatory given its mode of operation. That said, another English reseller does provide English instructions but judging by the user review-comments, it's a pretty awful attempt at translation, probably no better than what I was attempting to do.I got this to complement my little Amazon induction cooker and they work great together.My first attempt at cooking with it was almost comical, with steam coming out everywhere, as if the rubber seal wasn't even in place. Removing & reversing it cured the problem completely, even though it doesn't appear to have an 'up' side. As I'm a (hypocritical!) fish-eating vegetarian, I have only been cooking veggies, but they cook incredibly fast, but at different rates - parsnips for instance end up quite soggy when cooked with potatoes, whereas cabbage or carrots are done to a tee. Another thing I love about it is the tiny amount of water that one needs to use, a consideration for me both from the time it takes to boil and the fact that all of my drinking water is produced via distillation, a quite expensive process electricity-wise.Something that might warrant some caution is the pressure settings knob. Having used it 15-20 times now, on a couple of occasions when set on the highest (of 2) setting 'II', the steam output just seemed to peter after a few minutes, as if the electricity had been disconnected. Switching down to setting 'I' produced an impressive steam-release, while immediately switching back to setting 'II' resulted in normal functioning again. But most of the time it works fine, ie. issues steam continuously once the correct pressure has been reached. Just something to bear in mind.One thing that deserves a mention is its size. For just one person, I would have presumed that this was over-kill size-wise. Instead I'm surprised at how little it takes to fill it to the prescribed 'MAX' level. In other words, if you are cooking for more than one person, opt for something bigger. For one it's perfect.Finally, a word about the price. When I initially bought this, I considered it quite expensive but given my Induction-compatible requirement, it was the only viable option available from Amazon. Before I ordered it, I had checked the manufacturers site and found it was marginally more expensive when ordered from them direct. So imagine my disgust a few days after receiving it to find that Amazon Germany (amazon.de) were selling the very same item for literally half the price all along! I considered returning it and re-ordering it from Germany but decided it was not worth the hassle. But at the time of writing this, even with the very reasonable postage included (no free shipping to UK/Ireland for anything) it is a FAR FAR BETTER BUY - as I said, about half the price.Overall, a quality product that I wouldn't be without now.

This pressure cooker is perfect size for me as i live alone and like to bulk cook my beans. I'm vegan so i eat a lot of pulses! I found it very easy to use, better than older pressure cookers of the past. No fiddly bits to lose. Very easy to clean. I've had mine for 5 months now and only cook beans, brown rice and quinoa in it. Personally I would never cook my veggies in this, as i like mine crunchy. I'm very happy with the results and consider this a very good price.

It is the best I had so far. It is safe and easy to use. And it is not that noisy, it takes pressure very quick as well. Just make sure this size fits your needs.

Very well made! Food tastes sweeter and takes little time to cook. A good piece of kit --I would like to buy a bigger one from this company
