Are these two the same pressure cooker?

Yes. Both are the MegaChef 12-quart steel digital cooker with 15 presets, a non-stick pot and a tempered glass lid. The listings differ in naming, rating count and stated wattage, not in design.

Which is better for a family of five?

Either one. At 12 quarts both handle large batches of chili, roasts or stock, which is more capacity than most families need. Pick the listing with the better checkout price.

Which one lasts longer?

There is no durability difference to point to, since the parts are the same. Longevity depends on the sealing ring and non-stick coating, and replacement sealing rings are listed as supported accessories.

Is the higher price worth it?

They cost the same: $109.99 at Macy's as of November 4, 2026. The A listing has the stronger rating history (4.3 from 76 vs 3.8 from 20), which is the only real tiebreaker.

Can I put the pot in the dishwasher?

No. Both listings state the cooking pot and trivet are not dishwasher-safe. Wash by hand to protect the non-stick coating.

How much power does it draw?

The listings disagree. A states 1600W in specs, 1500W in its description and 1000W elsewhere; B states 1000W. Check the label on the unit before planning circuit load.
