I have had my large crock pot for many years. And I can say this is the best one I've ever used. Just easy and reliable.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Some of the reviews give it a low rating. My wife has used this model for many years, (probably 20 or so). I replaced it because she said it wasn't getting hot fast enough. I reminded her that it is a SLOW cooker but bought a new one anyway and gave the old one to Habitat For Humanity. I'm sure it will last for a few more years. It was used quite often when my wife worked. The food is always delicious when prepared in the Crockpot. It is an absolutely great product, my wife has 3, a small, medium, and large, even though there are only two of us.
I would recommend this to a friend!

You would not believe how much smaller the 4 quarts are. If you want a 4 quart you better buy an 8 quart.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

NOT a Slow Cooker
on February 20, 2014

Length of ownership:1 month
I have to agree with the rest of the comments in this regard. I have been thinking for the past two years since I owned this particular slow cooker that perhaps mine was defective. So I came on here to read some reviews. It looks like others share the same problem (frustration) with this particular model.
This "slow" cooker does NOT cook slow. Not even on LOW. It boils food. I cannot set a meal to cook on low before going to work in the morning because when I come home after 8-9 hours, my food is basically cooked to death/mush. Seriously. The recipes that say "Set to High for 4 hours, or low for 8 hours" do not apply to cooking in this Crock-Pot. Even on a low setting, it will be done in 4 hours. This appliance does not meet the needs of a person who wants to toss the ingredients in the pot in the morning before heading to work, to come home at the end of the day and have dinner "ready". The only way I can use this cooker is by either coming home at lunch to turn it to warm for 4-5 hours, (but you'll still end up with much), or, to spend lunch putting dinner into the slow cooker, to have it ready when I come home. Or, on a weekend, which is when I have the time to enjoy fixing a family meal without the use of a slow cooker.
I remember slow cookers that use to cook SLOW. This cooker BOILS food the entire time. Since I see a number of comments from disappointed customers, I feel Crock-Pot should provide us some trade in allowance.
I love to write good reviews for products, but cannot with this one.

Pros: inexpensive but not worth it, looks nice in my cupboard
Cons: cooks food way too fast, not a slow cooker
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Very disappointing

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My wife and I received this model as a wedding gift two years ago. Crock Pot cooks too hot for temperature settings on device, so much so that while cooking on a "low" temperature recipe, the insert dish cracked all the way down the side rendering our slow cooker useless. We have use the "Crock Pot" brand in the past but this model was a big let down since it still carries the "Crock Pot" name.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

3 qt size not 4!!
on February 12, 2017

I needed a new 4 quart slow cooker and this was so cute I thought I would get it. I have like 10 slow cookers, don't judge, lol. When I got this one and took it out of the box I thought, hmmm...that looks awfully small and it was. So I pulled out my 2qt and my 4qt and a qt jar. This is in fact a 3qt, possibly a 2.5qt. When you cook with slow cookers you are to only fill them 3/4 of the way full and when I put 3qts in it, it was full to the top, so I would say it is more like a 2.5 qt at best.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Boils Food

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recieved this crock as a gift and used it today for the first time. I filled between 1/2 - 3/4 full with chicken, soup, and veggies. I set it on low and left for the day. When I returned 7 hours later, the pot was boiling and the chicken had turned to a mealy mush. My dinner was ruined! What's the point of setting this to cook all day while I'm away if when I return my food is overcooked?
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Thank you for your feedback as it is greatly appreciated. We want to ensure that you are enjoying the full benefits of the slow cooker and we are happy to help you with it. For assistance, please call us at 1-800-323-9519; Monday through Saturday from 8 AM to 8 PM, EST.
The Crock-Pot™ slow cooker can boil on High and Low. We do recommend that you always fill your slow cooker at least 2/3 - 3/4 of the way full, including at least one cup of liquid or sauce. You may have to adjust your cook times accordingly, especially if you are using older Crock-Pot recipes, or adapting regular recipes for Crock-Pot use. This will prevent the food from drying out and burning.
With newer model slow cookers, both the low and high settings will reach a maximum temperature of approximately 215 degrees Fahrenheit, but they cycle differently in that the low setting cycles off of that temperature more frequently. Therefore, the High setting will still cook the food in a shorter period of time than the Low setting will. On the warm setting, your Crock-Pot™ slow cooker will be between 165 degrees and 175 degrees Fahrenheit. Please remember that these are all approximate temperatures and they can vary depending on what you are cooking.

I love this crockpot! Made beef stew in it yesterday and it turned out perfectly. The heat settings are great, low isn't too hot and high isn't burning anything. Great bang for the buck!
I would recommend this to a friend!
