This is really big , not suited for my family use

Looked at many crock pots. This is great price for the feature set. Has time function for low, high or warm. No delay start. Low works well for set in AM, come home after work to one pot hot meal. Lid locks to base. Ceramic tub and lid are dish washer safe. The heating unit is not robust and will get hot to touch. I place it on my stove top and turn on vent on low so the steam and smell are vented. It is simple which hopefully will translate to long term reliability.

Excellent unit easy to use

This is a good sized unit for making large dinners. It is perfect for families, for those who like lots of leftovers and for others who prefer to freeze amounts for several future dinners. The controls are easy to use and program, the inner part easy to clean (I would let it soak first if necessary) and the stew turned out perfectly cooked. The only thing we noticed was that the outside metal siding got very hot towards the end of the cooking cycle, something we can't recall for sure happening with our old unit. The manufacturer has addressed this by placing high heat warnings around the unit however. This is actually bigger than our last unit so it was a pleasant surprise. I recommend this product.
