Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Good quality
Very good product with excellent display and visible controls. Good size for a larger family



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Cuisine on the Go!
Having spilled at least two slow cookers in two different cars over the years, I wanted one that I could transport to potlucks or take with me on long trips in order to have hot food and not have to stop at a fast food place or coffee shop. Cooker arrived promptly, everything was intact. Seems attractive and generous size. The electronic cooking features are fun to use. I especially like the feature that turns the cooker off after 14 hours for extra safety and the keep warm feature, since I always do several different things at once losing track of time. I made a Beef Roast on the timer setting. Turned out very well. Have not used the probe feature. Have not transported the cooker yet. Overall good appliance. You still have to brown your meat in a separate pan, but it says you can put the crock in the oven or store your food in it in the frig (not tried that out yet).



Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Not Really all that good
First of all the "programming" feature is too limited to be classified as such. You can set TIME and TEMP...that's all. So if you want to switch from High temp to low then start all over with programming.
During the FOURTH time we used it the pot developed a crack along the bottom edge. Fortunately it did not open enough to leak so the meal was not lost.
The size and shape are quite good for doing two chickens or a large meal.



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - It cooks, but...
I have used it three times. The first time, I tried to brown a chicken in the ceramic insert. I thought it would be like cooking in Corningware. No, it shattered. I wish they had the warning not to use the insert on the stove on the first page of the manual in big bold red letters. $22 later and a new ceramic insert, I made vegetable soup. This time, I browned the beef in a skillet. It worked great. I set it on slow cook and about 10 hours later my wife and I enjoyed great food. The third time I used it, I cooked tortilla soup and once again browned the chicken in a skillet. I set the slow cooker on LOW to cook all day while we were at work. When I got home, it was cooking on high and the soup base had reduced about 75%. I am not sure if I set it wrong or if the computer chip malfunctioned. When it works, it works very well. I am optimistic I can learn how to use it properly.
