Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Nesco American Harvest PC-6-25-30TPR 6-Quart Multifunction Digital Pressure Cooker
Customer Review: Wonderful Kitchen Addition! It Works!
Summary: 4 Stars
I purchased this pressure cooker after I bought an older house with older, tired kitchen appliances. The electric cook-top units are way to small to support a cook-top pressure cooker. I also want to cook and not use too much electricity.
This modern electric pressure cooker is so quiet I thought for a moment it was a dud!
No more CH! CH! CH! CH!
I was able to let it do it's thing while I did something else in another part of the house.
This is a pressure cooker for the 21st century. One of the advantages of this electric cooker is how LITTLE energy it uses. This is important with expensive electric and gas costs.
I am very happy with my Nesco electric pressure cooker.
Customer Review: Nice Form - Horrible Function
Summary: 2 Stars
I got this as a gift for 25 years of service with my company. I loved using it for making rice and pressure cooking. Unfortunately, it lasted for about 10 - 12 uses, then inexplicably, it just died, right in the middle of heating a dish. No reason, just shut off. I've tried everything I can think of to get it working again, but no luck. I've let it set for a couple of days, I've plugged it into another outlet on another circuit, no dice. Like I said, it wasn't used that much and is in great physical shape.... it just refuses to work, and after reading up on it, I'm not ever going to waste my time trying to get Nesco to do the right thing.
Do yourself a favor and STAY AWAY FROM NESCO PRODUCTS.
Customer Review: Nesco Pressure Cooker Gasket Problem?
Summary: 5 Stars
I am writing this review to respond to many who said you cannot purchase replacement gaskets or other parts from Nesco. I would not want to purchase the pressure cooker, given that information.
I just called their corporate offices and they do indeed sell that part as well as others. The cost is $1.19 plus shipping. As a result of my phone call I will be happy to purchase this pressure cooker!
Although I do not have it yet, I am giving it five stars to create a review since I cannot post one without a rating. Also, having used this companie's products for over 20 years and they still function perfectly, I feel confident the pressure cooker will be a wonderful addition to my kitchen.
Customer Review: Took 2 Adults to figure it out - needs better instructions
Summary: 4 Stars
I gave this 4 stars because the illustrations and the instruction manual need some improvement. I have a Russell Hobb's pressure cooker that I have used for about 5 years and really love. I bought the Nesco to take to a vacation home we have. It came unassembled. I tried putting the rubber gasket in different positions to no avail. Could not get the lid to seal properly. My husband and I looked at the manual over and over again and were about ready to just bag the whole thing when he told me to try the gasket in one more different position and it worked. Thank Goodness.
I took a picture of how it was positioned so we will remember where to place it the next time!
Customer Review: Quit working at 13 months - No warranty help from NESCO
Summary: 2 Stars
I received this product in February of 2008 and have loved it. It cooked perfectly. I used the browning feature "Great", the slow cook feature "Perfect" and the pressure cook method "Awsome" for 13 months.
I went to use it last week and the electronic panel was completely dead. The folks at NESCO were nice enough but bottom line my one year warranty was up by a month and no extension is forthcoming. Unfortunately, I disregarded reviews regarding the electonics failing to my detriment.
As much as I loved this unit I will not buy another one to have the electronics fail at 13 months. It is a little too expensive to replace every 13 months.
