seems a cheaper alternative to an aa-921.

I'm sure it would work ok. Same arguments apply as the common Presto vs AA discussion. That seems a bit expensive though.

Iv got two mirro 22Qt pc's at the moment, one I purchased brand new and was $130 Canadian. The second one I got off kijiji for $30 with all the weights, manuals, and trivets. They work great, both are over a year old and show no signs of any issues.
I purchased it at Canadian Tire, and it came with a 5 year warranty through them, and 10 year limited warranty from the manufacturer. Not bad considering I now have two PC's that both under warranty.

Get the AA.
You will get a product that lasts a lifetime and it's made in the US, unlike the Presto and Mirro PC's made in China.
I have an AA and a Presto, and the quality of the AA over the Presto is immediately obvious in all aspects.

Found this at goodwill for ~$20ish...
 Prob would never find another one in my life for that...  Its nice that it was a sterilizer... Its old and used, but still holds a great vacuum for >12hrs... And i run it at 20-22psi with none to little water loss... Anything super sterile requires my AA... 
These are my 2 others...

any PC will work. if you have to $ obviously go for AA, if you dont have the $ buy whatever PC you can get, and it will work. longevity is the difference in price, not its ability to sterilize jars. 15 psi is 15 psi.
i own a mirro 22 qt and its worked fine for over 2 years with no part replacements yet.
