Been using my regal for 15 yrs or more, still not had to replace the gasket and cooks food in no time. If you learn the trick of giving the lid a little press down as it comes up to pressure then everything beds in nic LT and it works a treat.

I've used this pressure cooker for over 15 years and its wonderful! Makes all the other ones feel cheap and difficult to use. I know a lot of people say it sucks because it lets off too much steam but theres a trick to it... you have to press the lid down for a few seconds if it leaks, so the pressure cap closes and locks in place. Then it will take 5-12 minutes to cook whatever you want. And this pressure cooker is different in that it doesnt build up steam and then blow steam really loud like the others. Its quiet, and it does that by intermittently releasing steam rather than all at once. Its part of their engineering which I think rocks! Also if your circular lid seal is bad, you might want to replace it. I think people want it to work like the old pressure cookers, but its a little different (better in my opinion) and much easier to use. In 15 years I replaced the seal once and it cost me $20 or something like that.

Right from the beginning a pain in the neck. Takes too long to come to pressure or does not come to pressure so , open close retry , open close retry , burn food , give up. When it does come to steam (sometimes or come times if you will) always leaks and makes a mess plus a strange whistling sound (tap it on the head with a wooden spoon and it sometimes goes away). Unfortunately it has put me off Tefal products as well would never buy anything again from Tefal brand. Waiting for it to get old so that I can chuck it out of the window. Probably they made it in China (that would expalain it).

I've had mine for over 7 years and I use it every week at least once. My gasket has only just gone. I've found this really easy to use, no problems at all. Sometimes if it doesn't come to pressure so I just unlock and lock the lid again and it works. Would definitely buy again.

I hate this pressure cooker. I can't get it up to pressure without burning the food. It constantly leaks steam around the gassket. I wish I had never given my old Prestige away.

This Tefal Clipso has performed well.However trying to buy a replacement gasket is like digging for gold : the service from Tefal and their spare parts agent is non existent. The spare gasket is available to order from amazon.com but they will not send them to UK.Without the gasket, the cooker is useless.Before purchasing the customer should be told of the difficulties in Tefals after care service.I will not buy Tefal again.

With getting older I opted for this model because of the two handles.
The cost of replacement gaskets is one thing but was able to get them directly from Tefal. Their Website doesn't supply them AND having Googled, have been UNABLE to trace any replacement for this cooker.

Takes too long to come to pressure gaskets don't last long and cost a fortune

I found the Tefal Clipso Vitamins 6l Pressure Cooker easy to clean and transport but there were no instructions as to use. It was only that I have used a Pressure Cooker before, I would be lost. V v dissatisfied . Would not recommend this P Cooker to anyone

I have been using pressure cookers for more than I care to rembember this Tefal Clipso Vitamins 6l Pressure Cooker seems to be the worst one I have ever had. Would never buy another Tefal product although I have bought quite a few in the past.

I've been using pressure cookers for about 40 years. This Tefal Clipso Vitamins 6l Pressure Cooker works fine. I like the way it opens and closes. I think pressure cookers in general are intimidating to cooks not experienced with them. if you can get one for a good price go ahead and get it! i only paid $7 for mine because someone else was scared to death of the contraption.

Very disappointed with my Tefal Clipso Pressure cooker.
It replaced a Prestige model which was so, so easy to use. I had it a lifetime until the base warped. The Prestige PC also came a with an explicit instruction manual incl recipes.
My problem with the Clipso is the lack of instructions.
Yes, I have downloaded the manual but advice whilst lengthy is still not clear re use.

Tefal customer care a bit slow to respond after my Tefal Clipso Vitamins 6l Pressure Cooker broke, but in the end offered a new replacement/refund. Very Happy with replacement.
