Just what I was needing!
By *~ Sunshine ~*
I purchased this from another store after a substantial amount of research. I needed an electric "multi-cooker" for a period of time during a move that I would not have a standard stove. I have a slow-cooker and microwave available along with this.I couldn't be more pleased! I was a bit skeptical due to the negative reviews about the cooking choices but thought that I was experienced and smart enough to make the conversions. I've had no problems and, in fact, find them quite convenient. There is an option for adding minutes to the set selection if you desire. You can also easily reset the chosen selection at any time during the cooking cycle. The cookbook that comes with it has some standard recipes that can quite easily be modified to your preferences and needs. I cannot find anything to complain about after having used this frequently for a few months.The unit is very attractive and well made. The lid locks in place and is easily removed when it automatically unlocks after the pressure is released. The removable non-stick pan is wonderful! I find it to be a very usable size and cleans up in a snap. One of the features I find handy is the way it can be used as an open cooker, to brown meats or scramble eggs. It heats quickly and evenly on the bottom for this purpose or to heat up to pressure when you elect to use that function.I'm sold on my Wolfgang Puck electric pressure cooker and will continue to use it even after moving into our permanent home. It beats the stove top type by a mile and is a pleasure to look at and use.I will update on the longevity if there are problems but, so far, it gets my 5 stars.March 2011- I just want to add a caution, to be careful with the removable pan as the coating will show scratches and dings if you aren't. I was not, and used metal spoons for stirring which have taken a toll. It is not unusable or anything, still cleans up as easily, but it does not look as nice as it did. The old saying about "hindsight" holds true here. I should have been more careful and it would still look as good as new. So, consider yourselves warned. I still use my cooker and am just as pleased with it. I just wish I'd been a bit more careful with the pan so it would still look as good as the rest of the unit.August 2013- I don't use this as often as I did when I first got it as I have a full kitchen now. When I do use it, however, it still looks great and works flawlessly. I've certainly gotten my money's worth out of this purchase and hope to continue using it in the future.

Junk
By Shauna H. Sawyer-bunnell
Bought one. Worked great for about a year. Then started flashing an error message "F2". No troubleshooting in the manual, no support available. Just broke and no help to be found.

Great pressure cooker
By P. Tamarin
I have the 7-quart, which is exactly the same as the 5-quart but a little taller. It's a GREAT pressure cooker! I love not having to watch it like a stove-top pressure cooker!I'm not entirely fond of the named settings, but they translate to: High pressure is 15 psi and low pressure is 10 psi; the vegetable setting is low pressure and the rest are high pressure; the rice setting is special for rice.You should follow the instructions, though, and oiling the gasket (put a little cooking oil on your hands, then coat the entire gasket with your hands) keeps it in good condition.NOTE: the error statements some reviewers have gotten indicate the pressure cooker isn't sealing properly. Either the gasket has been mistreated, not cleaned, or needs to be oiled, or one (or both) of the two vents in the lid have been stuck open with a bit of food while venting. Both of these vents can be cleaned. I have also gotten error statements, but properly cleaning & oiling the gasket, and making certain the vents are clean, has always solved the problem.
