So for what it is, it is not a bad set. There are some initial tweaks that I had to make to make sure the system was tight which leads to next part.The pots and especially the lids are rather thin and not as sturdy as I thought they would be from the pictures. This helped though in forming (re-bending the lids) in order to get a tight seal. Once I did a little adjustment, the system worked quite well. Two runs through it and there are no leaks and everything seems to be holding up well.
