That’s problem with being a one hit wonder. They had a decent product that became popular. Unfortunately there’s only so many people who are in the market for a countertop pressure cooker.

Yea, true but there are plenty of companies that only make one product really well. I feel like it is more because they took a bunch of VC funding and had large pressures to grow their employee count that made it so unsustainable.

I’ve definitely noticed the cheap imitations of their product. I’ve even spotted one or two on the shelves at goodwill. I don’t really see those as competition.
There’s plenty of other brands of stand mixers out there, yet KitchenAid is still considered a solid buy.
