Great size and easy to use.

I have had Crock Pots for years; This Pot is the best size for families. Yes, the pot does get hot but most of them do. This item is easy to use, and cleanup is a breeze. Controls are easy to use where you are able to set your temperature and time as it counts down. I love this one.

Very disappointed.

Would Not Recommend

I got this crockpot because of the size. I have only used it twice and the stoneware cracked. It sounded like two huge pops and the roast went everywhere. VERY Disappointed.

Cracked pot

Would Not Recommend

Bought this crockpot 3 months ago and have only used it 4 times. The pot is cracked and is leaking. Super disappointed because I like everything else about it. Would not recommend buying it as I now see many reviews stating the same problem.

Don’t buy!

I received this as Christmas gift and have used it less than 10 times. I used it today and noticed a lot of liquid strained out. I didn’t see until I went to clean the crock that there is a crack in it. The heating element looked like it was over heating from the leak in the crock. We’re very fortunate it didn’t start a fire when we were at work.

Not a Fan

Would Not Recommend

I've had this crock pot for 2 years. I went to remove the stoneware after cooking a pot roast, and noticed there was burnt juice in the cooker and the stoneware had several cracks across the bottom. This is a replacement for a crock pot I had for 7 years, so having this one break after 2 years is so disappointing. Also, the stainless steel on the outside is rusting. Very disappointed in the quality.

Broke in the middle of cooking

Would Not Recommend

I only had this crock pot for a year and I was in the middle of cooking my dinner and I heard a pop I looked around and didn’t discover until I went to clean it that I see a big piece broke. Thank god I had a liner so it did not leak.

Cooks too fast

Would Not Recommend

I bought this last fall and have only used it ~5 times. This pot over cooks everything! I have tried recommendations of using the high setting time listed on recipes on the low setting for this crock; still over cooked. I grew up with my mom always using Crock-Pot and even had a hand me down that I used all through college and loved it! I am extemely disappointed with this product and would not recommend to any of my family or friends. I will be donating.

Do Not Buy!

Would Not Recommend

I thought I was buying a product from a reliable brand…..I was wrong. Same as other reviewers, my crock split all the way around and separated in half when I went to lift it out for cleaning way after we had dinner. Luckily I always use the liners when cooking, so our dinner was not contaminated and did not leak out. I had only used it about 10-15 times over the course of 2 years. It always boiled on the warm setting too which it shouldn’t.
