Score: 65/100
Nesco NPC-9 9.5-Quart
Score: 75/100Rankings
The Nesco NPC-9 is a 9.5-quart electric pressure cooker and canner featuring digital touch controls, dual pressure settings and a suite of accessories for versatile batch cooking. Its substantial weight and scarce consumer feedback may raise concerns for buyers seeking proven durability. Best suited for home canners and bulk-meal preppers who need large capacity and altitude flexibility.
The Presto 01755 offers a 16-quart aluminum canner with a precise dial gauge and robust stovetop compatibility. Its standard 15 psi regulator and hard-to-see water lines may inconvenience users seeking 11 psi recipes. Suited for families processing large batches on gas or electric ranges.

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.
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-level lines, which some feel require extra accessories or careful measurement.
Professional reviewers appreciate the NPC-9's large capacity, multi-functionality, and automated safety features, noting that it simplifies home canning and batch cooking. However, they caution that the lack of extensive user data makes long-term durability unclear, and the unit misses some premium features like integrated temperature sensing.
