Expert Opinion
Professional reviewers and editors commend the Presto 01755 for its reliable USDA‑approved canning method, precise altitude‑adjustable dial gauge, and robust aluminum construction, while noting the generous 12‑year warranty. They also flag the standard 15 PSI regulator as a limitation for common 11 PSI recipes and criticize the hard‑to‑see water‑level markings.
What Users Say
Everyday users love the large capacity, safety lock, and included rack and recipe book, describing it as easy to use for big batches. Recurring frustrations center on the mismatched 15 PSI regulator and the barely visible interior water lines, which some feel require extra accessories or careful measurement.
Common Complaints
The default 15 PSI regulator often requires an additional 10‑11 PSI weight for standard recipes, and the interior water‑level engravings are difficult to see during steaming, leading to potential water‑level errors.
How It Compares
vs. Presto 23‑qt model (01781)
Advantages
Disadvantages
Choose the 23‑qt model if you regularly need to can beyond seven jars; otherwise the 16‑qt offers sufficient capacity at a lower cost.
vs. All American 921 (21.5‑qt)
Advantages
Disadvantages
Select All American if you prioritize long‑term durability and prefer a weighted valve; stick with Presto if you value gauge precision and a longer warranty.
