Upgraded to 5 stars! I received a prompt response and they are sending a replacement. Great service! It arrived promptly, but the box was undamaged. However, I noticed scratches after I had already used it to cook a meal, and then discovered a significant dent. It seems to still work well for cooking and heating. I hope there is a discount for scratch and dent items. I will keep trying for it.

This Crock Pot met almost all of my requirements and I was pleased with the price, size, shape, and the separate ceramic interior bowlthat is easy to clean. The controls for low, high, and warm were perfect, and the lid fit well to keep the heat in. However, there are two concerns: the exterior metal gets very hot while cooking and could be a burn hazard, so it needs to be placed in a safe location. Additionally, it only has 3 supporting feet, which requires extra attention when positioning it. Despite these cons, I have no small children and the overall benefits outweigh the drawbacks, so I plan to keep it.

Purchased this for my husband because he always complained about not having one and said it wasn't the same as the instapot. We have been using it for slow cooking meals and he really enjoys it. His only complaint is that he wishes it was larger for some meals. It's easy to use and clean, and functions as expected.

I found myself in a tough spot when my oven broke, leaving me with only my microwave and air fryer for cooking. I was shocked by the high prices of new ovens, so I was grateful when a friend gave me a never-used crockpot. It opened up a whole new world of cooking for me, from simple bean soups to more complex dishes like Thai stews and chili. The crockpot's ability to seal in moisture and flavor made everything taste luxurious. I even felt comfortable cooking raw meat in it, as the long cooking time made it safe and incredibly tender. I eventually got my oven replaced, but I still use my crockpot at least twice a week. I recently bought a 7-quart crockpot, which is perfect for feeding a crowd. If you're cooking for 1 or 2 people, a 3 to 5 quart crockpot is a good size. I never realized how much I would love cooking with a crockpot until I got one!

Love the size. Used it to help my pizza dough raise quicker. Just put dough in it and set on keep warm and raises in no time. Perfect size for empty nesters

Buy one !

I recently purchased this slow cooker after my old one gave out after 10 years. While it gets the job done for me, there are a few things I don't like about it. Firstly, it doesn't have an indicator to show when it's on, so I have to touch the lid to check if there's steam. The outside of the cooker gets very hot, so I have to be careful where I place it. The cord is also very short, so it needs to be close to the wall and away from anything else. Even the plastic handle and pot handles get hot, so I have to be careful when touching them. Overall, it works for my needs but has some downsides.

I have purchased this slow cooker multiple times and the burner unit has always been reliable. I tend to break the pot or lid before it fails, but for the price, it's a great value. I got it on sale for $24 on Black Friday. It feels a bit cheap and could dent easily, so handle with care. It's large enough for most meals, but I'm disappointed that it doesn't have a timer, considering it's the company's cheapest model. The wire has been made shorter over the years, which can be inconvenient. It's also packed with crumbly foam, so be cautious when unpacking. I'm frustrated with the excessive packaging and lack of protection, especially considering I paid for shipping. I will update my review if I encounter any issues with the product.
