What reviewers didn't like

Cooker is on the smaller side. Some of these arrive damaged. Some buyers report problems with the seal of this cooker failing after a few months.
I had a few problems cleaning it. The stainless-steel wasn’t as stainless as I would have liked it to have been and I spent a bit of time cleaning it out. Not too big of a deal but definitely something that needs to be mentioned.
