Black lines on jars
I love the easy use of this pressure canner. The only issues I have is that it leaves black marks on my jars that aren’t able to be washed off.

Enjoying my canners
Love the canners. I only gave four stars instead of five, because I have two. One has the pressure valve on the front, but the other is on the back of the lid which feels a bit unsafe , because you have to reach across steam to put the valve cap on.

The model you have with the regulator on the back of the cover was our original version. Although we felt confident this was a safe design, (as did Underwriters Laboratories) we did change the regulator location to the front as you see in current models. We're glad you're loving the canners. We appreciate your review. Happy canning!

Still learning
I have never used a pressure canner like this before. Conveniently it is both pressure and water-bath.

Gasket problem
I bought this a year ago and never used it.i made one batch and it worked fine and now making another batch it created an error that the gasket needs to be replaced. Tried calling into the company and there was no answer and it was about 10:00am. Not the best support.

Purchaed 9/30/2024 - display fail 8/30/25
Purchaed on 9/30/2024 and by 8/30/25 the display died and beeping noise started and would not stop - sent request for WARRANTY assistance - not heard back yet . Also, the interior has started to flake off. OVERALL - love this easy process especially as I was a first timer canner last year.

Love a product that lives up to the advertising!
I was told it was easy peasy…and it is. Directions are clear. The Presto Canner takes you through like holding your hand.

Broke down after 1 year and 3 or 4 uses
Bought this canner approximately 1 year ago. Tried to pressure can today. Machine started the heat process and then quit. No power to the display. Yes there is power to the outlets.

Lousy lid
I received as a gift because I really wanted one. I have to stop process several times to clean gasket and lid which only has steam build up On them. I might get lucky after third round to have the peg come up. It’s not been fun canning and I will have 50 pts of beans in a week

Short life
I have owned mine for over a year but went to use it for the third time and I’m getting and error message. When I looked up the error code it had to do with the heating plate. For the amount of money I paid I would expect to get more than 3 uses out of this.

Continued lid seal failure
I gave 1 star out of frustration. I purchased this Dec 2024 and canned chicken, green beans and carrots- all jars failed to seal and I don’t know why. While I’m new at canning - all steps were followed and no error messages were received. I like the ease of the electric canning process.
1 reply from PrestoCS team - 1 year ago
We are sorry to hear of your frustration and understand. Because there was no error code, this could be a canning lid issue, rather than a canner issue. Please call us so we can help you. Call 1-800-877-0441. We're available weekdays, 8-4 CT. We'll troubleshoot with you and determine the best best course of action for you.

NEW CANNER
Our canner arrived very quickly! It's much easier to use than a conventional canner and the laminated instruction sheet that came with it is well written and easy to follow. We broke it in by canning some sweet potatoes in quarts and it performed flawlessly,,,so far, very pleased!

Waste of Money
This canner has been on the shelf more than being used. First lid was bad and they sent me a new lid. It worked a couple of times after that now the seal won’t stay put so it never comes to full pressure. Now it’s blowing breakers. I have wasted so much time and food with this thing. I would not recommend it AT ALL.

Fool Proof!
I have owned this product since 2021 and I love it! I am an experienced canner and I own a Presto 16 Quart Pressure Canner as well as an All American 930 Pressure Canner, but this one has become my absolute "go to" for quick smaller canning jobs. It is quiet, efficient and fool-proof. The canner itself gives step-by step instructions for use. I was so impressed with this canner that I bought another one for my daughter. Perfect for beginners and people just starting canning.

not working well. one Month later = broken
I bought my canner just over a month ago. it has had problems from the start. the seal it came with doesnt seem to seal properly and it drips. I Pulled out all my items and had my 4 lbs of ground beef and 4 lbs of ham ready to go, had my water boiling on the stove, and my broth for My ham.. my jars are washed And ready to cycle... I move my canner onto My countertop to start warming jars and adding food.... and my stupid new canner just beeps at Me, the screen is blank/no lights, and it wont reset. it seems to be not working at all. I am very frusterated with this. I have used it maybe 3 or 4 times, and purchased it on the recomendation of the Rose Red Homestead show. It Has turned out to be very frusterating and I worry It is dangerous. Now, it wont turn on at all. What a waste of money.

Automatic and easy to use
I had used the old pressure canner and had a gas stove. I was so frustrated using it because you basically had to babysit the pot and watch the temp. Guage that it did not drop below or go too high above the temp. need to can. This canner takes all the Hassel away and makes canning fun and a pleasure to do. I have taught 2 friends how to can and this canner is the way to go. I remember when I first started to can we did not have much money so the old canner and our big garden kept our cupboards full. this canner is making my work so much easier because it is automatic and prompt you through the process. Well worth the price. hĥgʻgʻgʻgʻÿgÿ hi gy pi i😊😊

Love my Presto Canner!!
I am so happy with the 17 quart Presto Precise! I have had some health setbacks, so it took me awhile before I could fully appreciate how awesome this canner is! I have enjoyed using the 12 quart since it came out, so was eager to try the new 17 quart. The directions in the quick start guide are very easy to follow. I always keep it handy when canning. Have now used the 17 quart both for water bath canning and pressure canning. It has worked smoothly with no issues. I like how quiet it is during processing. There is no more wondering if the weight is rocking at the right rate or adjusting the flame on my stove. For my first canner-full, I made tomato sauce, and let me tell you it was a game changer to get so much done in one batch! All my jars sealed within minutes of taking them out of the canner. I am very impressed and pleased with how well the canner is working out for me !
