rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author momofmichael - Ages ago when I was first married I received a traditional Crock Pot for our wedding. I always found it hard to clean and swore the next one I got would have a removable crock that could go in the dishwasher. I don't recall when or where I got this...

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author gotguy - Disappointing product. Very poor build quality. The unit is made from thin metal that dents easily on the sides. It also heats unevenly; a problem I have NEVER had in a slow cooker. An additional small annoyance: the unit makes a sound that is...

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author lilmissdisney - I received the Rival Smart Pot 6-quart Slow Cooker for Christmas a couple of years ago. I wanted a Crock pot, because the idea of them sounded easy and great. I also thought it would be a great way to make meals that I could freeze. I am a Vegan...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author zoeinnc - When my old slow cooker went to small appliance heaven I took my time replacing it, as aside from the occasional chili or stew, we really didn't use it all that much. As empty-nesters in a condo, we simply didn't have the space or a good (enough) reason...

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author sibbet - The size and appearance are nice. Temperature control is limited to high, low, simmer, buffet, not a major issue but if you're looking for more control this doesn't have it. The biggest issue is the lid does not fit. If you're trying to get the...

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author kpearl - When using the crock pot for events at work, it is very good product. The lid can be opened and closed without having to place it somewhere. Since I have been trying to use the crock pot more often for recipes at home, I have run into difficulty. I...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author larryp1941 - I bought this cooker because I thought it would be programmable. It is, to the extent that you can set a cooking time (high or low) and it will switch to "warm" at the end of the time period. What you cannot do is cook on high for less than 4 hours or...
