While all the points mentioned above will look convincing enough to supplement the device to your kitchen, there are, however, some limitations to which you must attend before making a cook. Based on the reviews on the Power Pressure Cooker XL across websites and blogs, here are a few enumerations about the drawbacks Power Pressure Cooker XL is known to have.
- Dull Shipping Duration
While most customers receive the delivery between 4 to 6 weeks range, some customers received the product in as long as four months. To top it all, some customer complained receiving wrong products, for example, Power Pressure Cooker Pro instead of XL model. The Power Pressure Cooker XL 8 Qt comes in a deluxe version as well, and this calls for attention on the part of the retailers who deliver wrong products to their customers with the slight difference of their products. The consequence of retailers’ irresponsibility is borne by the customers who send the product back for replacement and go through the delayed shipping times all over again. Let alone the situations where the replacement is again faulty.
- Bad Quality and Misleading Advertisements
Some customers have complained that the commercials that flash on the television and the actual product and its functioning differ hugely. When used in practice, Power Pressure Cooker XL performed negatively. The non-stick feature of Power Pressure Cooker XL is a farce to some customers who experienced burning of food and sticking to the walls and base of the pot, adding piles to the dishes that need all the time and effort to scratch away. According to some grievances, the canning of the Power Pressure Cooker XL is not known to function on a couple of thousand feet above the sea level.
- Cook Book is a Fake Supplement
According to some customers, the recipe book that is provided complimentary by the company is anything but useful. The manual has all the directions that do not hold good in the actual setting of the kitchen or have vague instructions. To add to the miseries, if you lose the recipe cook, a new one costs around $29 to only be worthless at the end of the day.
- Bad Customer Service
What could be worse than a bad service to the customers especially when the product is broadly faulty most of the times? Some customers complained that the customer care representatives lack proper knowledge of their product. Consequently, the questions of the customers mostly go unanswered and the customers face a lot of inconveniences in processing returns and even raising a complaint. To top it all, long hold times and quick transfers, faulty or fraudulent charges and difficulty in understanding the executives, unresponded emails are further worsening the situation.
- Unsafe
When put to tests, the seal of the Power Pressure Cooker XL is loose and is out of position at intervals; this can become frustrating for those of us (actually most of us) who lack the patience to keep retightening it over and over or constantly fidgeting with the valve. It is a design flaw of Power Pressure Cooker XL, and the company requires to address all the issue to make the device really a kitchen hero. Furthermore, Teflon, the material with which the products interiors are composed of, is considered toxic for human consumption.
- Lack of Proper Accreditation
The U.S government has also decided to rule out the material, Teflon for its harmful effects. Adding up to these, Power Pressure Cooker XL lacks certification by the industry standard for product safety- ETC which can explain a lot of things about the product. Unapproved canning in the Power Pressure Cooker XL by the Food and Drug Administration is another area of contention.
Several cooking experiences of the customers
-Most things prepare relatively quickly. While cooking roasted beef, the top needed to roast a little longer.
-Frozen chicken came out wholly prepared, the hottest temperature for chicken could be 186 F, the coolest spot was 177 F.
-Apple Sauce could be made by peeling off the apples after it is cooked. The pressure was allowed to build till four minutes to have a delicious apple sauce.
Fab or Dab: Worth the investment or not
Considering all the functions that the Power Pressure Cooker XL is unsuccessful in executing properly like high shipping charges, bad customer service, long shipping times, one could as well get the device from a local store than pushed into disappointment.
Despite the odd points, the product is definitely worth a try especially when the reviews are mostly in favour of the product. I would recommend it to a friend. While most clients express their discontent towards the Power Pressure Cooker XL, many customers declare it as a real star in the kitchen. The experience with the product can be good or bad depending upon various factors that people do not consider and come up with complaints. Unfamiliarity with the product, receiving genuinely faulty products could be a reason for bad experiences and customers who burned their food may be because one may have avoided sticking to the directions mentioned in the manual or may have over-cooked their meals. Overall the success or failure of the product depends on factors, and one must be considerate that the personal experiences are hugely affected by those.
