power failure

Would Not Recommend

I bought this 5 months ago and went to make dinner this morning and it would not turn on at all. No power, i did the reset, like online suggested and didn't work. Im very disappointed in this. I do have a 5 qt programmable one i have had for like 7 years and never gave me issues. regretting upgrading to a bigger one.

This 8-quart Crock-Pot is excellent, especially if

This 8-quart Crock-Pot is excellent, especially if you cook for several people or like to prepare meals in advance. It has a great capacity and cooks food evenly, leaving it tender and full of flavor. I love that it's programmable, so I can leave it running without worrying, and the food is ready at the specified time.

Hot Garbage! Not a slow cooker

Would Not Recommend

Not sure how Crock-Pot gets away with calling this a slow cooker. There's nothing slow about it, Using the low setting, a 3 lb, 4 in thick beef roast was up to 170 degrees after four hours. The whole point is to slow cook your meal. This thing is garbage!

Cracked less than a year into use.

I’ve had this less than a year and only use it a few times a month and it developed a huge crack today. No cold liquid, nothing I haven’t cooked before, and it developed a huge hairline crack all around the bottom. My last crock pot lasted18 years before the controls stopped working, this one less than a year. I’m super disappointed and upset that I now have to either get a replacement bowl, or an entirely new one. Thinking about trying a different brand of slow cooker after this.

Crock Broke After Little Use

Had the same issue that other reviewrs have mentioned. (Broken/cracked crock) Was making dinner, smelled like something was burning, walked into a huge mess on my kitchen counter. Crock must have the smallest crack that is hard to spot but allows for liquid to seep through. So disappointing as I had hardly used this crockpot and it was rather pricey. I would not purchase this one again despite loving the largev8 qt size.

No complaints

Great slow cooker. It’s huge and holds a lot. It seems like it can cook food faster than my old slow cooker did. Basic design, I enjoy that it doesn’t have the latches to carry it easier to clean.
