Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I have had this cooker for a year now. It worked marvelously for the first 3 months. I told everyone about how wonderful this pressure cooker was and encouraged them to purchase one. Then everything went haywire. It does not seal properly, build pressure properly, and everything stuck to the inner pot when it did work. For the past few months I have not used it at all. I have ruined so many dinners trying to use this. I've wasted hundreds of dollars at this point I'm ready to throw it away. I ordered this from HSN.com and at the 4 month mark when I called for a replacement I was told I would have to contact the company for a repair. When I contacted Elite I was told I would have to pay for shipping to and from for the repair which was over $60. I was also informed that if they determined that it was my fault it would not be covered and I would have to pay the full price for the repair which could exceed the original purchase price when shipping to/from was factored in. In addition, I had to have all the original packing and box which I did not have. Really, who saves every box for everything they have purchased for months and years? I shop online all the time and there is no possible way for me to save every box and packing material for every shipment. I'm hoping that I can purchase a new lid and inner pot so this piece of junk won't be a total loss.
