Customer Reviews

It's bigger -- you need to adjust recipes or it burns
I purchased mine about a month ago (except mine doesn't have a digital timer). While the fact that it's bigger means more you can cook food, you have to adjust your recipes accordingly and increase the measurements. I didn't and twice my food actually BURNED! It also seemed to cook my food way faster than the time would indicate (but that could be due to the fact I wasn't putting enough food in). If you want to cook lots of food, this is for you. But if you are only cooking for two, you're better off with one of the smaller models.

It boils, not slow cooks
You have to watch this crock pot closely or it will start to boil your food, even on the LOW setting! It does not slow cook, and recipes that require 6-8 hours of heat are done in under 4 hours. Not a good product if you want to be able to add your ingredients and actually leave the house. This slow cooker is a piece of junk.

So far so good...Smoke? read the manual
I bought this crock pot despite the negative reviews. Several of them said the crock smoked and it was returned, only to find the new one smoked too. Well, read the first page on the manual and it says in bold letters that it will smoke the first few uses. I guess sort of like new brakes on a car (they stink! and it goes away and the brakes work like a charm). I liked the design of the crock, so I was willing to give it a try with low expectations. So, I just filled mine with water and turned it on (before cooking a meal) to let it stink away.

I have cooked chili, pot roast and a pork tenderloin. All came out wonderful. This model is much larger, so you have to make sure you are accommodating the space with food and liquid. If you don't .. duh.. it will burn. I was cooking for a large group and the roast came out wonderful. I have my own recipes and times for cooking, so I generally kept the temp on low for about 6 hours my first run. It worked perfect. The cranberry tenderloin was a little different, so I watched it closer (since I was home). It probably would have gotten too dry if I had left it, but that was my fault, not the crocks. I simply didn't have enough sauce in it. Anyway, bottom line: I am very happy with my crock and glad I gave it a chance. It hasn't let me down yet and I've had it for about 6 months, now. If you are cooking for a larger family, this one works great. I wouldn't recommend it for a smaller group because it is simply too big for general recipes and will burn things...and make you an unhappy camper.
