We have the pressure cooker from CellMarque.   But, we do not use their
antigen retrieval.    We had  much trouble with it actually dissolving all
our paraffin.   We had a "bubbling" sorta clear artifact throughout our
sections and we decided it was from incomplete removal of the paraffin.  So,
we deparaffinize as usual and we use the DAKO retrieval.   Everything looks
great, no more artifact!
