I am thinking of buying a new pressure cooker and would love some ideas/suggestions. I have used a Fagor 4 qrt before and it worked fine but when I bought a replacement didnt like it.
My top concern is safety and that would determine the pressure cooker I would buy. I prefer to go with Fagor but would be great if you have any information on others also
I have used both of these many times & feel perfectly safe with them. They have a lot of safety features & a locking handle that prevent opening while it's locked, & you can't unlock it while there's still pressure. There are automatic release thingies so if the pressure bilds up to much, it's released.
I love both of mine. The smaller one is great for everyday meals, while the larger one is for soups, stews, etc.

I forgot also - Bed, Bath and Beyond sells Fagor. I bought the duo combi set from them (4-quart and 8-quart) with their 20% off coupon. That price even beat Amazon, but now it looks like Amazon is cheaper. It definitely pays to check for the best price.
I am going to try the Fagor again. The one I bought dosen't seem right. There is no sign of steam till almost 5 minutes into high heat. Is that normal?
