Just got it and studying user manual. Instructions, cautions etc are clear. Unit is hefty giving a feel of quality. Was initially concerned that pressure cooking is dangerous however the quality and safeguards are convincing. Will give it the fifth star after use. We also bought the Lagasse 360 xl and my wife has taken to it. Does a good job. Hope this unit does as well. We are slowly creating a Lagasse countertop kitchen. :-)
