Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Nesco American Harvest PC-6-25-30TPR 6-Quart Multifunction Digital Pressure Cooker
Customer Review: Among other things: great soup!
Summary: 5 Stars
I have had this unit for over a year and am always finding new uses for it. I am very happy with it! The pot is heavily constructed and sturdy, as well as having a non-stick surface. Also, I find the button arrangement reasonably easy to understand and operate. Usually, I brown items before pressure cooking. I take care of what I own and have had no problems as I have followed all of the maintenance instructions. Even the rubber seal is still going strong, although I do oil it regularly as recommended. I had an older pressure cooker that you placed over a flame and then from a safe distance watched it go into nuclear-detonation mode. Fortunately, the fear factor is no longer there with this unit, nor do I have to scrape stuff off the walls. Overall, this Nesco pressure cooker has worked well for me. The food is definitely healthier and tastes better. I am still working on pinto beans, but that is another story.Customer Review: Loved it while it worked....

I was absolutely in love with this pressure cooker. I was even going to buy one for several folks on my Christmas list.
Then, in October, after five months of use, it died. I called the company and a delightful woman answered the phone and verified that the error message meant that it needed a new circuit board. She asked us to send it back to Nesco, which we did with RMA number and delivery confirmation receipt. Now two months later with no word at all, when we phone the company they have no idea where it is. They admit that they signed the delivery receipt. They have no idea where the cooker is. The nice lady once again answered the phone and promised to call us back right away after her investigation. That was last week and still no word.
I would never buy a product from Nesco again. I am off to buy a new Pressure Cooker. I can't really live without it!
Customer Review: Best Cooker Ever
Summary: 5 Stars
I intended to store my cooker on a shelf when not in use. Instead I keep it on the counter perpetually plugged in, and use it 3 to 4 times a week. The pressure functions gets the most use, but I've cooked in all modes now, and have been very satisfied. I saw a video using the cooker on HSN.com, and they apparently had some models that had both a metal lid and a glass lid for the slow cooker. I do wish it had come with a glass lid to peak in on the slow function. My only other complaint is the poor manual. There are very few recipes, and they are sketchy. I would love to find a book that addressed the use of multiple functions using one recipe. Especially such things as pre-cooking with pressure, and then finishing up with the slow cooker, etc. So I'm basically doing lots of experimenting on my own. But as a cooking accessory, this thing's the best.Customer Review: DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY

Our family has had a Nesco roaster in it for three generations so I was confident buying this product. It was wonderful to work with and a great time saver. However after just a little over a year and at the most using it 14 times, the digital readout freaked out and the whole thing quit. I have read of this happening in other reviews but could'nt believe it wasn't a isolated incident. Its not! Between the cost of shipping back and est. repair of 40-50 dollars (from Nesco customer service) I am going to buy the Cusinart model with a three year limited warranty. My mom is still cooking in the roaster she used when I was a little kid (40 years ago) Nesco shame on you - if you have a defective product, own up to it and service your customers instead of hoping the problem doesn't surface until the warranty is over.Customer Review: AWSOM

Used the old standard of pressure cooker like my mom used for nearly 50 years. Last one I purchased really did not last long before I was having problems getting it to seal. Bought this one originaly for my daughter but decided to try it to be sure this kind worked well befor giving it to her. Well needlesy to say I had to order a 2nd one because I kept this one. I love it. Cooks as good as the old fashion gas ones but it better cause you can take the center out to wash it and it seals so easly. I just cannot say enough about it. I love it and I know when my daughter gets it in a couple of weeks for her birthday she will be thrilled. No more having to wait to visit us to get her roast beef, potatoes and carrots. Its just great throw every thing in. set it for an hour. and best meal possible.
