Presto is a POS!
    #4324917 - 06/22/05 01:31 PM (18 years, 9 months ago)

Can I hear some recomendations on PC's? Now, I know who the best is and I'd really like to have one, but I'm about 150 bucks short :shrug:

I bought a presto 6 qt. at wal-mart. After two cooks, it f#%@D up a batch. I took it back to wally world, they gave me a new one, It sucked a #$@& right out of the box :mad2:
I agree that you get what you pay for, but I need to find one that works that is affordable.

:sun:

if you ever shop online, try ebay... you can always find really good deals on PCs there.

My presto has taken a pretty good beating and keeps on PC'in.

Other than being a bit small it works just fine. But mine is like 20 years old. Maybe that's why.....

Yeah, I even threw my reciept away, I never do that. I thought I would be set till I was ready for an AAPC.
Well, I called 'em. She wants me to send it to a different address, have engineers check out the quality of their product. Pff, that's what they need to do.
Should I let 'em check it out?
They should reimburse me while they're at it.

Nothing beats American goods! But they're steep  :smirk:

I disagree, you can find soem great foriegn made products, regarding the presto,
if they wish to keep you as a happy customer you should persuede them to upgrade
you to the 23 quart model, it's as close as you'll get to the best (All American)

Geeze! Those 6qt Prestos aren't exactly made for pilling jars in. But that doesn't mean the brand is junk. My best friend has a 23qt that works great! I use my 6qt that i've had for about 5 years (that works fine) for sterilizing syringes and print jars. I can't bitch too much for a $20 price tag. She's treated me well and i've certainly gotten my 20's worth. Not to mention she's a mean cabbage maker too. LOL!

my presto has been through at least 30 pc's now and it still even looks new.. That bitch is built like a tank!

I think you just did something wrong pcing.. And 6 quart is tiny, get something bigger.

I have an 6qt Manttra I got off Ebay for 20bux and so far its been getting the job done. They sell Manttra at the walmart here so when the seal eventually goes out I just buy one from walmart , switch the seals and take the other one back.

Stop experimenting half way through your first grow. Grow it to maturity, watch it, learn from it. Do this a few times then experiment with different ideas and figure out what works best for you.
