is it normal for it to stop holding the pressure reading after only 6 months of use?

I don't know if that is "normal" or a product defect- but that is exactly what happened to mine.

I never had that problem. I would contact the customer service dept, or try to send back for a replacement. Once you do start to use this pressure cooker you will absolutely love it!

We have never had great pressure, but the pressure remained about the same. I would check the house connections on the faucet to see if some debris got caught up in the hoses of the faucet. Good luck.

Mine is still going after 6 months. Every now and then I forget to turn it off after I use it, so I appreciate the auto-off feature that turns it off for me after a few minutes.

I returned the one I purchased for the same reason it would not hold pressure, Amazon refunded me the purchased price. Review the return policy Amazon even paid for the return packaging.

No. I've been using it for a few months and the power level does not decrease when you increase the pressure level.

That never happened to me after using it daily for 7 months. I would say it is not normal if it keeps shutting off by itself,

Mine has been fine. When you tested it how long did you hold it down? I remember reading in the papers when you did a test not to hold it very long (don't remember now time period).

I am really not sure. I have not left it under pressure for longer than maybe a day or two. (And only then because I forgot.) Did not seem to be a problem.

I've had mine for two months and it's showing no signs of stopping. I keep it across the tub lengthwise, facing the showerhead. This helps the sound as well as keeps it from getting anything but damp from the steam and the occasional wet hand poking it to skip tracks.

Yes, the pressure regulator is probably gone bad. You don't need to replace the whole thing, just the pressure regulator. I would remove it first just make sure that is the problem.

No, the holding tank should be able to hold a fixed pressure +/- a few PSI for hours. Make sure you are using a thread locker to seal your connections.

I think over time, mine loosened up. Several weeks, or a month or so. I did find that it is easier to operate if the water is turned off.I hope that helps.

Yes, I used it for over three years and it got my normal pressure down to an average of 114/74. I am 78 years old.I do not use it anymore as it is very stable and except for the normal rise when I visit a physician's office.

I have never had this experience and I have been using mine regularly for about 5 months. Yours may have a defect.

I love mine as well and have had mine for quite some time (over a year) and haven't had any problems. The only time it seems that the air pressure is less is when I've inadvertently failed to tighten the valve cap enough. Other than that being your possible problem I'm not sure what to offer as a solution. I use it along with adding a couple tablespoons of Alkalol and the results are just fantastic at stoping a cold in its tracks! Sorry I couldn't be of more help!

Mine had been working just fine for about two years. Battery life is still very good and no recharging problems what so ever. And the pressure sensor worked great until now ! It's kind of hard to ignore the sensor's very bright red light on the display !
