As one of the highest PSI Electric Pressure Cookers, I can't recommend this enough. It's time to temp is impressive and better than most, the construction, automated pressure release and quality of build is all worthy of praise. It's surely expensive, but you do get what you pay for. This is especially evident to me after using some other brands out there.
The controls are great, easy to use and scarily accurate most of the time. I tend to mix my use between letting it do the thinking and manual use, both are exceedingly simple to achieve. The interface is fantastic with even the type of auto steam release selectable. This is no small thing.
Some may suggest the lid isn't ideal as it is affixed to the Pressure cooker, but it has never been in my way and I'm 6'4" with big hands arms and elbows. Some reviewers try to make hay on this issue, but it simply isn't one. As to the Lid, it detaches extremely simply and quickly. When I purchased it I wasn't even aware that it was detachable, but I felt it was worth the effort what with it's other key features. Turns out it couldn't be simpler nor easier.
Please know, a gasket will always pick up cooking odours on any pressure cooker, this one is no different, however this falls into normal and expected maintenance. Remove the lid, and the gasket and throw it in the top rack of your washer. I found washing both by hand as effective.
The displays are easily readable and certainly make sense. What I like about the contextual nature of the menu is that even if you tend to do manual settings, it's easier to attach your memories of those settings to what's on the display, it jogs one's mind and helps when you are cooking a variety of items through the week. When I see risotto, I find it's an easy matter to remember to add one minute to the cook time (based on what I like) vs remembering ALL of the numbers for pressure time and temp. It's a small thing, but I do believe the way it will most often be used.
Manual mode is great if you just want to copy Insta Pot recipes. set the same time and pressure and you're golden. I know there is some comfort for people in using the same model as a good majority of people, but everything translates well, so really consider all of the additional features you get that really do make a difference.
Please note that the safety features on the Breville are second to none, and of course manual steam release is no problem if you prefer it. The fact that you can cook broth etc. and not need to think about the pressure release feature at all to maintain a clear broth is all the more impressive (as it will do a natural release)
Lot's to like in this unit and it excels in power and pressure vs other units. In direct tests its time to sear or pressure was faster than all other tested Electric Pressure Cookers. Excellent. Do you need it? If you have the budget, heck yes.
Excellent Shipping time and service by the seller. Would highly recommend.
