Presto is all we have ever owned. :-)
Mom's Presto lasted over 25 years. We finally replaced it when the
bottom started to get slightly convex.

I have a 5 quart and it works fine for me. I just have to remember to
wet the gasket prior to starting it up as it makes a better seal that
way.

I just give the inside of the lid a quick rinse.
