I liked the simple buttons and classic look

I use my crockpot weekly and it has been working perfectly each time! Would definitely purchase again!

Great quality .. timely delivery

I have the exact crockpot and I love it. I use it often!

I love this slow cooker. It works as it should and a great value without compromising function. I highly recommend this

Loved the size and it works great!

Scroll down to see more of my comments.The following was my response to a comment on trevtnyc's review on 6/22/11:I agree with the original poster, trevtnyc, and seriously doubt the validity of the comment by Target Shopper. I have never used any brand of slow cooker other than Crock-Pot so I can not comment on how they work but the "spewing" is something I have never seen in over 30 years including the 7 quart SCV700SS. There are small "canals" but no visible steam has come out while I've been using it although it's possible steam could escape this way as it does prevent a seal from forming. But spewing? Really? You're doing something seriously wrong.I have also never burned anything in a crock pot including this one. I have never had a crock pot boil over even when filled to the absolute brim. I have had to replenish the water but not since I took the time to re-read the booklet.Also mentioned has been how hot the stainless steel outside gets with only a mention in the booklet that the outside gets hot and only the handles should be used. I don't know how else they could have stated that the outside gets hot and only the handles should be used. It seems a perfectly clear warning to me.It seems some people do not understand how the crock pot works. It is the outside that heats the crock. The crock has no heating element of any kind. The crock simply keeps in the heat provided by the metal surrounding it. Of course it gets hot. Just like an oven or stove - you heat something, it's hot.This crock pot is no hotter than my previous ones. I have burned myself slightly on nearly every crock pot I've owned because I haven't paid attention. My fault. If I am paying attention and use the handles as instructed or pot holders, I never have problems.As the original reviewer suggests, read the booklet if it isn't working as you think it should. I am 99% sure the complaints here and elsewhere can be attributed almost entirely to user error.MY REVIEW IN ADDITION TO THE ABOVE:Trevtnyc pretty much covered everything in his review of the Crock-Pot SCV700SS 7 quart Oval Manual Slow Cooker.To clarify the description, for the model SCV700, manual means it does not have a setting to turn the cooker on at a specified time. This model IS oval. It has a glass lid but plastic handle. It has high, low and keep warm settings. The removable ceramic pot is HOT!!!! as is the outside of the cooker!!!So, we just had a party and we had a chance to use our older 5 quart Crock-Pot and this new one (which is why we bought this one).As for splattering, spewing and overflow, there was no splattering or spewing on either one.Both were literally filled to the brim. (I mentioned filling older ones to the brim but I don't think it was quite as "to the brim" as it was this time.) I suggest leaving at least an inch between the top edge (not including the rim) and your contents. Both were boiling. If you remember, I mentioned this version has 4 small grooves in the rim of the pot to let steam escape although very little steam has escaped in my use. With the contents of this pot all the way to the top and with it boiling, it did allow enough liquid out to fill the groove in the rim and some of the liquid even overflowed.The good news is, the change in the design of the pot allowed the overflow to spill over the top and drip onto the counter missing the outside of the cooker almost entirely. The older version overflowed also but it ran over the edge of the pot and directly into the cooker. Since the cooker is not submersible, it took some time to clean out the burned on overflow. (I soaked a paper towel in vinegar and laid it over the crusty stuff and then wiped it off.)I am seriously considering throwing away my old one and buying another one of these pots even though I really don't anticipate anymore parties.

I use it once a week and use a liner for very easy cleanup.

Works great. Good value for what it is.

Cooks very well, it’s very sturdy . I can do many different dishes because it’s very versatile which I loveee! It didn’t had a smell and it’s extremely easy to use!
