I pretty much paid little attention to the instruction manual, other than a quick glance. It is fairly self-explanatory, except for the large metal disc with holes in it. It goes together easily, and is marked clearly for water limits inside the canner. I put it together, and immediately set about making some taco sauce from the Ball canning book.
The electric canner is a dream to use. It heats well, though it will not get to a full rolling boil unless you have it at the canning setting. It got to a full rolling boil in a little less time than what my pot would be on the stove (I tested it the night before, out of curiosity.). I put my jars inside the canner to the high setting and let it heat up while I made the taco sauce. This way, the jars were kept hot while I waited. Then I bumped it up to the canning setting about 10 minutes before I was ready to jar the sauce. From there, it was a simple matter to pull the jars, fill them as usual, and stick them back in the canner. As for the large metal disc? That is to help conduct heat within the pot during canning and to help diffuse the boiling water. You simply set it on the tops of the jars when they are loaded, and pull it out by the handle when they are done! I also noticed that this prevented the jars from rattling around within the canner, which I appreciate.
I loved having the pot by my sink, as that makes it so much easier to fill (and empty). My stove was less cluttered and more efficient, and the canner holds several more jars than my old pot. At this point, I don't have any cons - but it's a new piece of equipment, so I will be curious to see how well it holds up to lots of canning during the busy summer season.
In short - while I have not gotten any of the other FreshTech equipment, as I couldn't justify the price for the limited usage, this will truly be in fairly constant use in my house. If you are looking at any of their pieces, this would be the one I would recommend over any of the others. Throw in the steaming capacity and the ability to use it for drinks (summer parties!), and it really is an excellent piece of equipment for a good price.

It is disappointing to see that the manufacturer has doubled/tripled the price since the FDA has approved it as an acceptable canning method.
The product has not changed only the price/mentality of the manufacturer… as it’s new pricing makes it impossible for the average person to purchase… buyers be ware the appliance is a 12/10 and should /could be in every peepers work station but the price is ridiculous.
