What Others Say
Great until handle broke
I have had this crockpot for about a year and have not used it more than 8 times. Yet today the handle broke off into pieces while I was simply moving the pot on my countertop. I am lucky it didn't break while I was lifting the pot with hot food. The remaining handle is also cracked and would proably have broken off as well. Needless to say, I am not pleased. Rival did have a recall for some of their crocks but apparently this model was not included yet it has the same problems with the handles. The crockpot works great but beware of the handles cracking and breaking off.

So far, so good. It has performed as advertised. I am happy with the cooker
Gets the Job Done
I love my Crock Pot. The only problems with this model are that the high setting is pretty hot-which can be good if you want to cook things quickly, but if you leave it on all day, I would recommend using the low setting, even if the recipe calls for the high setting. It also has a tendency to rattle if moisture gets stuck between the lid and the pot(especially when using the high setting). Not having a timer hasn't been a problem; I will just leave it on the low setting, and I am usually gone for at least 8 hours. Overall, the size has been perfect for making meals for my husband and me without having too many leftovers. Great for stews and soups that can simmer all day.
it's so easy!
I bought this for my household because we're always coming home after work and too tired to start cooking. Now, we're able to throw ingredients in it before work, set it on low, and head to work and when we come home, it's a ready-made meal! This size is pretty big for just the three of us, so we end up with leftovers for lunch the next day when we use recipes from the internet. The only downside to this crock pot is that there is no timer, so you have to start it before you leave the house if you want it to be done when you get home. That's not a big problem because most of the recipes we found say to put it on low for 8 hours and when we've left it for an hour or so more, the food was still fine.
perfect size
Perfect size for my family of three. Works great, and it's not an eye sore on my counter.
