When my wife told me she wanted a new slow cooker/crock pot for Christmas I almost choked. First because she was asking for something so practical and second because I had no idea what to begin looking for in one of these. Thankfully, there were plenty of reviews here on Amazon to school me. So thanks to all that wrote before me.
So far we've had five meals from this unit. Each one has been great. From the wife's feedback this is an easy to use unit that cooks evenly and thoroughly. She really likes the solid feel of it; the heavy duty inner crockery and the glass lid are particularly robust. She's not a big pot-luck kind of person, but agrees that the built in lid locks and spoon holder will come in handy some time. On a side note, the included spoon is of fairly good quality. I was expecting something cheap and flimsy. Actually, it's about like any other plastic serving spooon you'd find in a department store.
Me, I'm the head dish washer so I look at the unit from the clean up angle. The crockery is easy to remove from the base. Both the lid and the crockery are real easy to clean; there's no problem getting baked on food off of them. As well, the outer metal base wipes down easily and seems to resist collecting streaks or finger prints.
We're well and truly satisfied with this slow cooker. It's a well built unit that cooks food just as advertised. You can't go wrong with it.
