Using cheap electric pressure cookers for sterilizing

So I picked up this Gourmia 6at pressure up for $40 on sale. But then I got to thinking. It doesn't display the psi and it probably takes hours to build up pressure. But it does have a sterilizer mode

If you still have the receipt I would return it. Not much you can do with a 6qt PC, you can't fit anything in it.
I say return it and look for a Presto 23qt PC. They can be bought for under 100$ and you can fit up to 9 quart jars in them.
Or, if you are just doing PF Tek, just get a stock pot with a lid that you can steam sterilize in.

Oh yeah you can fit 10 in the Presto, 7 standing up and 3 across the top on their sides.
I was thinking of my AA921 - there is something on the underside of the lid and you can only fit 2 on the top.
