I had one of the original crock-pots from 40+ years ago. It was marketed for all-day cooking. You could leave it for 8 hours while at work and it "slow cooked". I'm so sorry I let it go - I finally got a newer/larger one. It cooks way too fast! Things that used to cook for 6-8 hours are overdone. This is not the way the slow cooker is supposed to work. Can I cook on warm to achieve the results I want?

Lid was super lose, crockpot didn’t get extremely hot due to this. Super loose wiggly fit. Will pay more for a better model for sure

I bought this in December. Tried to make chuck roast twice a both times turned out very tough after 6 hours on high. Tried to use again last week to bring chili to (already cooked on stove) an event. It was on high for 4 hours and never warmed the chili. Not sure if I have a defective one. Never had any issues with previous crockpots.

Of course it works great. The only problem which is a huge one. The silver part gets SO HOT. I have never had a crockpot that you couldn’t touch the outside of it. I touched it and burned myself, after that I moved it back so my toddler couldn’t touch it. Unfortunately my older child (5) touched it before I could stop her while trying to get snacks and it burned her hand while resulted in several minutes of tears and running cold water on it. Definitely a design flaw that can actually harm people

It was nice while it lasted. Very basic features, which was all we needed, but it has stopped working after less than 2 years.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this as a gift and I can’t figure out how to make it work. When I set the stoneware into the outer aluminum pan, the unit is not well seated. It isn’t really sealed and it wiggles when you touch it. As a result, it doesn’t really get hot enough. After I cooked chili for 90 minutes, I had to transfer it to a pan on my stove. Anyone else have this experience?

I was in desperate need of a crockpot as my older one died. This was the ONLY one I could find IN-STORE and able to purchase with no wait. Got it home, washed the inner crock, and added my ingredients for beef stew. Followed the recipe, "low for 8 - 10 hours". I checked how it was cooking throughout the day, and by hour 6, the food was basically OVERCOOKED. I took the lid off, checked everything, and was sadly disappointed. The potatoes were somewhat mushy, some of the carrots were overcooked, and I noticed that the inner crock would "MOVE" when stirring the ingredients. Not to mention, this crockpot only has 3 FEET to stand on!! I consider that a HUGE safety issue if it becomes off balance when having to stir the ingredients to mix. The LOW temp setting seems to be more of a HIGH, and for recipes that call for being cooked for 8 hours, you're actually overcooking since it cooks fast. RETURNING as I don't feel I should have to worry about (1) having it topple due to only 3 feet to stand on and (2) it's not going to be a crockpot I can feel comfortable cooking with if the time nornally needed is going to be 2-3 hours faster than it should be to be done.

It's a fine basic crockpot. Was disappointed the lid handle broke and a rubber foot is already missing.

The outside of this crockpot gets so hot to touch it could be dangerous. I liked to use my old one in the summer to keep the kitchen cool, you may as well cook on the stove from the heat this one produces. Sorry I bought it.
