We were initially satisfied with this pressure cooker: nice capacity, seemed well made, well priced. However, we realized very fast that the handles constantly loosened up, and have to be re tightened (which I have never had to do with any of my cookware), and the screws holding the handles rusted after just a few uses. We contacted the company who did send new ones at no charge, but they rusted shortly after again! So overall, rather disappointed with this purchase. We ended replacing it with a TFal pressure cooker, which is fantastic, and has none of those issues.
