Eventually they may fail and need to be replaced, but if looks mean anything they have another 10 years to go at least. All Americans are nice, but they weigh twice as much as a Mirro or Presto, take up more cabinet space, and they cost a lot more. If you have a glass top stove, Presto is the only canner with a flat bottom that might work. Best regards, Bob |

I've got a Sears canner that is about 40 years old now. I replace the gasket every two years and have the steam gauge adjusted and certified annually. Still works for me. George |
