I would love to have split pea with a single smoked ham hock all the required seasonings, in 30 minutes, not 12 hours!
Price
For the $30 or whatever it was, i can safely say this is a great buy.
For me, the overall cook time is under 20 minutes and i am satisfied with it especially for the price.
Good for the price and looks good as well.
It is way much cheaper than these premium ones, and does a good job without all these fancy features.

My biggest complaint about this product is the poor documentation
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
If you are a novice with pressure cookers like me you need clear explanations and directions to make you want to use it and to dispel any fears that parents may have instilled in us about the possibility of injury from a faulty device or misuse

The directions are to put it bluntly pretty useless

I learned more about how to use the appliance from other amazon reviewers who were nice enough to explain their experiences with the basics than i did from their booklet

If bear would just get a technical writer to walk people through how to make the basics of rice porridge beans and stews what to expect for performance what to avoid doing and even what each button means people would be far more likely to use the product

They could then figure out the more intermediate and advanced features after mastering the basics
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
Obviously i did figure it out for the most part but it was disappointing that so little attention was paid to showing users how to use the product they purchased
