The pressure does not stay consistent. The pressure will go up to 80 or so and then drop down to 60...and go back up. anyone else have this problem?

so far, mine has been fine but i did read a few reviews that others had this problem before i got the hang of it, had trouble closing it and figuring out the steam non-steam valve and it would not even go on but subsequently - after getting help from my grand-daughter it is fine. is there a problem with closing and/or the gasket - is it clean?

That is the normal cycling that is characteristic of all digital pressure cookers. It is NOT a problem. When it reaches full pressure the heating element shuts off and when it drops to about 70 kPa it turns on again but the pressure keeps dropping to about 60 before heading up again, totally normal. You will see the heating light indicator on until it reaches pressure then you will hear a click and the pressure light indicator comes on, the heating element turns off, pressure eventually falls, you hear another click, the heating element and the indicator for heating turns on and so forth and so forth.

I also had this issue. My problem was I did not screw the plastic ring part tight enough around the base unit and hence there was no pressure building up, and the pump wasn't dispensing. I called the MISTO customer service and they send me a replacement pump for free, in case there is an issue with the pump part.

this has not been a problem for me. Are you zeroing it out? Has this been a problem from the first for you? Mine has always settled in, but there are occassions when it does kind of go back and forth between for example 27g and 28 g if you are really on the edge of a little more than 27g and a little less than 28g. I hope this is helpful. If yours is bouncing all over then perhaps you have a defective one. I hope this is helpful. Good Luck.

Hi.. I noticed that too but.. mine just stays up until I push it back down.

That was a symptom I had when there were either air bubbles in the system or an obstruction somewhere. Eventually the valve, or whatever the mechanism was internally, froze in place and it wouldn't generate pressure at all, despite clean system. That's when I returned it to Costco, only a year old. Went with a more expensive gasoline unit instead, much better power for cleaning and longevity.

I tried mine--apparently the same model--3 times in a row. It seems to deflate at a rate half-way between yours. My bp came down from 163/85 to 151/80 over the three tries, which is normal behavior with resting compared with activity. Not a good answer, maybe.

Make sure it is hooked up correctly (with little hose inside jar coming from the attachment end, not the gun end) and keep the gun level. If you problem is it continually sucking once full press the little pressure release lever until the gauge registers 0 psi vacuum.

That happens with mine too (difficult to pump).. Probably normal =[ I suppose that's why they cost less than big name. Worth contacting Stant with that question. Let us know what you hear back

after about a month it fixed itself... I just decided to ignore the pressure sensor, and then one day I noticed it was off and working fine again. Very strange indeed. Has been working fine though since.

Hi Harold - there must be a defect then. I set mine for 345 and it stops at that - it will fluctuate a few degrees down when in use - but nothing major. I would contact them and have it replaced

Yes, i had the same issue. don not open the shut off valve to full. Adjust it by opening it from quarter to half, again depend on your water pressure. I was fine by opening it a little less then quarter.

Mine for some reason is doing the opposite. I have mine all the way up on 7 and with the cold weather here, I'm lucky to get 30% humidity readings upstairs. Any suggestions experts?

We also felt that the pressure is low, but we decided to leave this as is for water savings. Send your request to manufacturer, Phister Customer's Service is exellent. (they helped us more then expected, sent us a lot of spare details without any charge). Good luck

with the launcher have u used the rubber ring on the up spout. that will hold the pressure and make sure you have about a 1/4 of the bottle with water.. but make sure you are using the rings supplied that may be your issue.

There seem to be quality control issues. The reviews show a number of unrelated problems. My first one had a pressure gauge that did not work. A couple weeks after sending it back another customer reported the same problem so I assume they just repacked and shipped it to him. The replacement they sent me has worked well for several months and there has not been leaking, but adjusting the pressure with the nob has gotten progressively harder.

&lt;If the pump is running longer then 90 sec. you may have to change the pressure line ( .25 white plastic line to the pressure switch) to a different location. &lt;i bought a the same pump and it ran to long to build up pressure so I put it closer to the tank.

It doesn't have a "steady" or constant setting using the pressure switch. It is only on while you apply pressure to the pressure pad.
