Hawkins Futura 3 Litre Pressure Cooker, Hard Anodised Inner Lid Pressure Cooker, Pan Cooker, Black (Fp30), 3 Liter

Disappointed

Good quality. Feeling a premium product.

This 3 Lit Futura pressure cooker is a fantastic product. Efficient fast and so easy to use. It cooks well on slow flame simmer saving gas and it is so easy to clean because of its finish. It is relatively quiet and it is such a relief from the perpetually whistling conventional cookers. I docked it one star because I miss a small grab handle on the other side of the main handle which would make it easy to handle a full cooker when hot. The size is ideal for 3 persons for normal daily cooking. It is pricey but worth it. I just wish it came with an over-box over the original colored box of the cooker. It arrived safe but the box was ruined in shipping and certainly could not have been given as a gift if needed. It would have been really nice to be able to open a fresh box with this priceless cooker.

This cooker feels like a way to mislead customers. Despite being priced in this range, it is neither dishwasher-safe nor induction-compatible, and these important details are not clearly mentioned in the specifications. I only learned about these limitations after raising a query. The warranty terms are also disappointing. If normal wear and tear, plastic parts, and the valve are not covered under warranty, then what exactly is covered? The warranty seems to offer very little practical value. Customer support is another concern. Having only one service center in an entire city is highly inconvenient. It is unreasonable to expect customers to travel 50 km or more for repairs or service. The product description is also misleading. It would be better to simply state that this is an aluminum cooker. Advertising it with a black-colored description while delivering a grey cooker creates confusion and does not match customer expectations. Overall, the product information lacks transparency, and the after-sales support is disappointing. I would not recommend this product.you can see the difference between black color of cooker and stove attached below and see inside seems aluminium

Giving my feedback after 2 weeks of usage. After reading a number of negative reviews I was not sure whether to purchase this or not. I was kind of fed up seeing pressure cookers with old handles where screw will often loosen up and you have to tighten it. I had accidentally come across this model in the shopping mall of the 5l variant. Another 2 models were one from prestige (which I felt badly designed with loose parts ) and apple duo which has put a different handle in the product image though having old handle. What I liked in the pressure cooker is it is pretty well designed( with all parts tightly fixed) , heavy body and obviously the unique handle design. Since 3l variant was not available in the mall I bought it from amazon. Though 3000+ price is a bit on the higher side It depends how desperately you need the change.
