Amazon.com: Customer reviews: GoWISE USA GW22620 4th-Generation Electric Pressure Cooker with steam rack, steam basket, rice scooper, and measuring cup, 6 QT

This is the second pressure cooker that I bought from this Company. ...it's really good.. but when they'll update the power cord, I'll give them a perfect 5 stars! The cord isn't detachable and looks too fragile! The cord from my first one, came off and I had to throw it away. ..hope that they read this review!

stainless steel interior got white spot after first time use

0Comment

November 28, 2017

Received GoWISE USA GW22620 4th-Generation Electric Pressure Cooker today and very excited to give it a try.
Fill the stainless steel pot with clean water in half way, and then press the [Soup] button to start. came back after few hours and the cooker was in warm stage. Empty the pot and found a lot of white spots on the bottom of the stainless steel pot. and cannot be cleaned.
I doubt this pot is made of stainless steel material? ..... I think that it is a serious quality related problem. Can you image if I used it to cook real soup with salt and other seasonings...... that may be even worse.

UUPDATE 11/30/2017
It is my 2nd time to use the cooker. After boiling apple, all of the white spots gone. I increased the rating from 1 star to 4 stars.
I chopped 10 apples into small pieces and add 2 OZ water, use [Rise] function under high pressure for 5 min.
The GoWISE USA customer service respond my review quickly, thanks.

Happy with GoWise

November 21, 2017

Very happy with my purchase. I have an 8 qt Instant Pot and a 10 qt Power Pressure XL and really like the IP but it is too small for a family of 6 and I never really liked the Power Pressure XL due to a number of reasons - the insert is too thin and coated with Teflon (which after pretty sparse use over a year and a half is starting to flake off which is why I am replacing it with this unit) and it just doesn't have as many programs and isn't as manually adjustable as the IP. The GoWise is much more similar in features and controls/programs as the IP. It also has a porcelain coating on the heavy insert which is very durable an easy to clean. Very happy with my purchase.

Very happy thus far.

The Good:
Super easy to clean
Very easy to use

The Bad:
Terrible Instruction booklet
Times can be misleading due to warm up/depressurization time

Overall, I'm very happy with this. I've had it for 3 days, and I've used it at least three times. It takes a little bit of experimentation to get liquid amounts and times just right.
The first item I made was an artichoke. It took a total of about 20 minutes - 5 minutes to warm up, 10 minutes to cook, and 5 minutes to depressurize. Initially, I thought I had made a huge mistake by buying this, as the outer leaves of the artichoke were somewhat tough. The inside, however, was absolutely perfect. There are many more artichokes in my future with this machine.
The second dish was a rice/broccoli side dish. I used long grain brown rice, and frozen broccoli. It all went into the machine at once with water, and cooked for 10 minutes (plus warm up/depressurization time). It could have used one more minute, and a little less water.
Next up was steel cut oats. It was great to not have to babysit them as they cooked. The machine's instruction manual says to avoid cooking oatmeal in the cooker because it can foam up and block the pressure release vent. This is odd to me, since it has a "Porridge" setting on it. Throwing caution to the wind, I loaded it up with oats and water. 10 minutes of cooking time was perfect (in my opinion). I did grease the pot before adding everything, to help keep any foam from reaching the lid. My kitchen didn't explode, so it must have worked.
Tonight I'll be testing the saute feature with some beef stew, and I have high hopes for it.

We've used this pressure cooker a few times now, and I still feel we are gambling with every recipe that we try. The reason I say gambling is that we've made recipes from a cookbook for a competitors pressure cooker and attempted to "convert" what needs to be set on this pressure cooker. This pressure grossly lacks cook books written specifically for this pressure cooker. I think this pressure cooker is a good unit, but the lack of recipes written specifically for this pressure is a huge negative...hence, the four stars instead of five.

Useful with Some Design Flaws

This pot is an extremely practical machine that gets basic batch cooking, like soup stock and bone broth, done quickly. The unit does not come with a stainless steel pot. The enameled interior was scratched within the first use. The first unit I bought was dead within a year. I'm not sure why it failed. It could have been an electrical surge from rolling power outages, which are frequent where I live. It could also be a design flaw in the pot. There is a moisture overflow container that is removable on the edge of the pot. If the settings are unstable between slow cook and pressure, there is a lot of liquid that drips into this little container (3oz?) It is located directly above the electrical chord of the unit. Liquid from this overflow could potentially drip down into the chord area. As for customer service, I've had great service when I needed to replace the pressure valve. The team that answers the phone was very helpful in addressing my concerns. I wish the unit had not died a little over a year after I purchased it, but I still replaced it with the same 14 qt multi-cooker.

I am glad I got it

November 1, 2015

I have wanted one of these for a while, and after a few uses, I am glad I got it. My pressure cooker was 30+ years old and gathering dust, the slow cooker huge and unwieldy. the rice cooker was fine, but I replaced all 3 appliances in one fell swoop. The directions leave a little to be desired, but it seems to be intuitive enough. The 88$ price point was attractive too, saved $40 from the other 9 preset digital pressure cooker.

The shipping cost is annoying, but even with that taken into account it's a good deal. You definitely don't want teflon if you want it to last. I'm not sure why the GoWise rep said it can't be used for canning. That's purely a matter of temp and this should have no issue at 1000W and manual temp settings. Bought this as a replacement for my crock pot - summer's here and this should pay for itself in energy costs by the end of July. I don't use the oven very often from now until October.

Color: CopperSize: 6-QtVerified Purchase

This is a gift for my step daughter so I have not used it. However, from what I can observe she is going to love it. it ia lot sturdier than my instant pot. It almost makes me wish I had gone with the GoWise instead of the instant pot. Half the price of my appliance.

I like it more than my Power XL pressure cooker

I like it more than my Power XL pressure cooker! Pot is easier to clean after use, and the functions perform as expected! I would recommend as a highly effective pressure cooker!
