My mother encouraged me to buy this cooker. She has one and loves it. I thought it was too big for my family (2 Adults, 1 Child). Turns out it was the best purchase I made in a long time. It makes a meal plus leftovers. The size also allows me to fill it with lots of extra veggies. The automatic "warm" setting keeps food hot until we're ready to eat. I'm actually giving it as a gift for the holidays.

The outside was quite hot and it cooked faster than the instruction manual suggested it would (I used a recipe from the instruction manual). There is no mechanism to delay the start of cooking, which would be handy for some meals that I'd want to set up in the morning before work and eat when I get home. If the meal only takes four hours to cook, and I use the "keep-warm" function for four hours after that, I still will not get home in time. The unit also will not recover from a temporary power failure, according to the instructions. The bowl and lid seemed high-quality but the electronics seemed low-quality.

I use this crock at least once every 2 weeks and I have a family of 7! It works great for me. I use it for everything from soups to roasts and have no complaints. I have had it for over a year now.I would recommend it to anyone who needs to make large quanities.

Ok, went to Target to buy a crock pot with a Christmas gift card. The pretty red color and timing feature looked so good. First time I used the appliance it seemed a bit hot, but it was only a 3 hour cook time, so I needed to give it another try. For the second attempt, I made a pot roast with instructions from the Rival book included. Instead of the 10 to 12 hours on low it took less than 8 and the pot was visibly boiling by the time I turned it off. I now have to return this item and look for another crock pot. Think Target should seriously take this off their inventory before someone has a fire in their home.

I absolutely LOVE LOVE this item. I got it for a bridal shower gift, and within the 6 months that we've had it, its been nothing but perfect. My husband loves to cook with it. You can leave it on over night .. and BAM a great meal. ..Unlike the other reviews we havent had a problem with it cooking too hot or not staying warm. I would give this as a gift myself.

I have had this for months and used several times. It is in general a good idea, but the 'warm' feature only keeps it barely warm. I usually have to warm it up in the microwave or turn it on high for at least an hour.

My husband and I received this as a wedding gift and every time I have used it, it takes about half the cooking time it should. Even on low it cooks way too hot! I now realize that we aren't the only ones with this problem as other reviews on this item state the same thing. Definately not worth the money!

I Love this Crockpot... LOVE LOVE LOVE!! I've had it for over 5 months and it makes me appear as though I can actually cook... and really well! There are tons of online slowcooker recipes to help you out. I really like the McCormick Slowcooker seasoning packets which you can find at your local grocery store. Great stuff! Love the digital countdown so you can actually see how much time is left.
