this is a very basic model and it put out great results in an average time frame for cooking!only used it once so far ,but it performed well and quicker than my old one the same size but different make.i would recommend this pot.

This is a great product that is worth the money. It cooks at the right temperature and is big enough to fit a large roast or chicken in. I use my all the time and would buy another one just like it.

Two problems with this slow cooker: it is not insulated and the outside gets so hot, too hot to touch, had to get a hot pad for underneath, worried about counter burning. Second, the lid is not tight, so it is not really cooking to it full advantage, with the steam, you can see a space between lid and crockery.

Overall, this is a really poor excuse for a slow cooker, I guess you get what you pay for.

We use these crockery cookers at church quite frequently, and they have never failed. Ten were purchased a few years ago, and they are all still going strong. The "high" setting gets soups and pasta sauces up to the required temperature for safe food handling. Clean-up is easy (although I have discovered that the slower cooker liners make it even easier!)
Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a basic slow cooker at a decent price.

The first one I received was super. Unfortunately the crock shattered by our mistake after only a few months. I re-ordered the same one and the crock was SO warped that the lid didn't make a seal and cook the food properly. Thinking this was just a fluke, I placed another order and while the lid fits a little better, it still doesn't seal. I'm so frustrated! Where's quality control when you need it?

Received the crock pot just in time for a graduation party that I was having. It is a basic crock pot with three settings, but that's all I need. It worked great! Kept the food just right for me.

It works great. I especially like the warming feature. I can cook a complete meal in it while at work.

I have one of these and it's never worked properly. Figure on 10 hours cooking time at the highest temperature with the crock only half full. Another review here pointing out the lack of insulation and I agree. Buy another brand, that's what I'm doing now.

It was just the size I was searching for with the low, medium, & warming settings.I use it often
