In my opinion there is really only one choice in electric pressure cookers, but here’s a comparison chart showing you the top 3. You should decide for yourself, so here are the facts!
The chart below is provided as a quick reference for you to compare the top selling electric pressure cookers. Each of the models in this chart is electric and has a removable inner cooking pot. All three usually cost about the same, though the Cuisinart is sometimes higher. The main differences are in the material type of the inner pot, and the accessories that are either included or available for purchase separately.

I am a huge favor multi cooker fan. I have the 8 quart and was sad to see them move out of the US market. I was however thrilled that you can get the same product from Zavor … I’m able to purchase my gaskets and other products for my multi cooker and the prices seem reasonable
