Title: Was Amazing but now…? (See Updates)
Review: I love this thing SO MUCH!!! I’ve been wanting to get into canning for a really long time but I was honestly intimidated by it. I really love to cook but due to health reasons I’ve made some big changes in my diet. So buying at the grocery store has become more expensive than usual plus I spend so much time reading labels. Canning has given me much greater control of my food (no chemicals) plus I love that I can reduce sugar. This canner has allowed me to explore both styles of canning with ease! I’ve had it for a month and I’ve been able preserve anything from low sugar jams to spaghetti sauce – it is so fun!! It has worked perfectly every time with no issues. The one thing I will say is it only cans 4 quarts at a time but since it’s just me that’s not a big issue. I looked at cheaper ones here on Amazon but decided to go with this one because it was slightly larger. I’m so glad I did. This has been one of the best investments I’ve made in a long time!!!UPDATE::: I bought this at the end of June and have used it steadily since with no issues. Today when I was washing the inside liner (mid August), the inside coating peeled off! I notice it lifting at the bottom and when I checked it to see if it was just happening a little bit, it came off in sheets!! This is super frustrating because I have peaches ready to can. Unfortunately today is Sunday so I’m stuck until tomorrow on getting any help from Presto but I submitted a message with a picture. I have seen this canner compared to the Nesco, so I literally ran to order that one as it will arrive tomorrow. For $300 I would have expected the presto to hold up longer than 2 months. At this point my original opinion has changed. I’ll update my review as the situation develops. :(Update 2: I emailed Presto on Sunday because they were closed until Monday morning. I called Monday morning and got some rude lady who said if I emailed them then I would have to wait until they responded. She said “we don’t want 2 people working on the same issue “ but she didn’t even want to bother to check to see if they got my email. On Tuesday afternoon I called again. Luckily I got a very nice guy Nick who immediately checked to see if he could find my email but he couldn’t. I emailed him with the picture while we were on the phone and he was clearly flustered at the picture and put me on hold to show Quality Control. They immediately started the process to send me a new liner pan. They also said they may send me a fedex label to send the messed up liner pan back. They told me this is highly unusual and wanted a bunch of model numbers off the unit. I hope to get the replacement liner by the weekend.In the meantime I bought a Nesco. I wanted to see if I made a frivolous choice in buying the presto over the Nesco. I’m in the process of pressure canning split pea soup right now. Here’s my thoughts initially- presto is definitely better. It’s easy to use and warms the jars before canning which I really like because it automates this step. Plus the Presto is much bigger. I prefer wide mouth jars and can get more pints in the presto (7) vs the Nesco (5 and they are really crowded in there). I have decided to keep the Nesco (what can I say – I’m on a canning roll) so that I can do multiple batches at the same time. I have a glass top stove and am afraid to pressure can on it. Plus I live in Fl so while they do heat up the kitchen the electric canners are not nearly as bad as it could be if done on the stovetop.We’ll see how the new Presto liner pan holds up. They said the issue was not seen before and my research confirmed this because I couldn’t find any evidence that it was a problem before. IMHO if you can afford the Presto it’s worth it. The Nesco also acts as slow cooker and a pressure cooker which really doesn’t impress me. But I’ll definitely it check out even though I’m not a big slow cooker person and I gave away my instapot wannabe pressure cooker because I felt all it did was boil the meat.Final edit::: I have used both canners multiple times and have decided that I love the Presto the most. It is practically idiot proof because it beeps when it reaches the next step. That’s good for a newbie canner because I don’t have to guess if it’s time for the regulator or to start the timer like I do with the Nesco. Plus the Presto lid is much easier to clean and reassemble. The new liner pan for the Presto is a different color with a different coating. So maybe the one I got originally was phased out. The company was very responsive about resolving my issue after I got the right person on the phone. All in all I’m still glad that I bought the Presto in spite of the issue.One last final edit: it is now two years later (May 2025) and I still love the Presto the most. I have had no additional problems with the liner pan at all and the canner still works perfectly. I actually sold the Nesco on marketplace because I just didn’t use it anymore.

Title: The perfect electric pressure canner
Review: Was wanting to try pressure canning but the traditional canners with weights, watching them during the process wasn’t something I wanted to do. A few different channels I follow on YouTube use these. (Acre Homestead & Large Family Table) so, thought I’d order this and give it a try. I LOVE IT!!!! It’s easy to use, walks you through the process with notifications on the LED screen, good capacity and everything else you need for your canning projects. I’m very pleased with Presto. My canner did have an issue, however I called their customer service line and they paid for me to send it to them; they had it for around two weeks and fixed the issue and even swapped out two pieces because they upgraded them. It’s working perfectly and I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to do pressure canning

Title: LOVE, LOVE, LOVE THIS THING.
Review: I love this pressure cooking. I had a older one like it but it only did pints. Now I can be canning quarts. Just in time for summer veggies. It is very easy to use, has good instructions and safe. It does make small batches, but it is only me and I don’t do much of canning. For anyone new to canning get this. I know the cost is a bit much but look at the cost of bigger and nicer older canners. This is worth the price.

Title: Game Changer
Review: This Presto Electric Canner is foolproofed and user friendly! One has to read the product operating manual, follow the instructions, and your money will be well spent.I have been canning for 5 years with the Presto stove top canner. This new canner complements the stove top canner. Having the 2 canners allow me the freedom to choose the one that fits my available timeline for canning on a particular day.I have had no problems with this canner and I recommend it to those who are intimidated by the stove top canner.Some experienced canners might find that the electric canner is too basic. They might miss the thrill of demonstrating their expert canning skills exhibited when using their stove top canner.. such as: getting the correct temperature for the stove top canner, identifying the sweet spot that keeps the canner at the correct temperature during food processing, using the appropriate weight, waiting and watching for the constant vapor stream to be emitted from the stove top canner, etc..I am happy that I purchased this Presto electric canner and that it works well l. I do not anticipate any problems while using this beautiful canner.

Title: I was afraid of pressure canning..TILL THIS CANNER!!
Review: I absolutely love this canner!!! You can water bath can as well as pressure can. I was scared to death to pressure can with the old style pressure canner, but this has taken away all my fear! And because of that, I can can practically anything with no fear! No having to wonder if the jiggler is making the right sound. This takes out the guesswork. It warms your jars for you, and tells you when to add the jiggler. I highly recommend this product. It holds 5 quart jars (wide or regular mouth), 7 wide mouth pint jars and 8 regular mouth pints, and you can double stack half pints…10 regular mouth, 14 wide mouth, according to the manufacturers instructions. It comes with a very basic manual…and I use it EVERY time I can. Cleaning is a breeze. Did I say I loved this canner!?!? Only recommendation would be to purchase silicone canning “rack” as an extra barrier at the bottom. I purchased two and joined them.

Review: This was a second purchase …really good and takes the hassle out of constant ‘baby sitting’ traditional pressure canners – HOWEVER this purchase failed to function, was returned and refunded. Perhaps it had a ‘bad’ journey. So now I’m ‘baby sitting, my original presto canner !! 🙂

Review: Omg, I was a little nervous buying them, then using this. Yes it’s expensive but holy moly. You can’t get any easier than this. I watched a few videos followed instructions and WOW!! It only holds 5 quarts but I’m thinking how easy it will be to can 5 quarts at a time when my beans come in. It’s heavy I was surprised. Not so heavy I couldn’t use it. I absolutely love this machine!! You have to try it to appreciate how simple and easy it is. Not scary in the least!!
