*Unfortunately, I broke this crockpot after many years of good use by taking out a microwave and knocking it straight to the floor. Amazingly, the glass lid did not break at all on impact, just the ceramic pot.

I bought this for my mom years ago. She has went through many, many crockpots; different types, makes, models, brands, etc. She said that this was the best one that she ever used (before I broke it) and that it has had the best consistency for temperature and function. (Knock on wood)

For that fact, I'm buying another one of these for $15 more than what I previously purchased it for. She loves it and it worked very well, so I'll eat the cost.

We've been quite pleased with this item. Its larger than the previous crock we had, so my wife can make even more of her great spaghetti sauce and other delicious dishes. The simplicity of the controls provides enough ways to vary the temp overnight on Low, the next day while getting ready for the meal on High, and on Warm after in case we wanna keep it on for leftovers a little later. I don't think you'll go wrong with this one.

I have made some delicious meas that my friends have raved about.Easy to use and cleanup is a snap. Be aware of the cooking times. If you cook to maximum hours ,you may overcook.Has low,high and warm settings.Very convenient.

I bought this crockpot to replace an older one that went out. I have used crockpots successfully for many years, so this is not user error. The low setting is actually high, and the high is even higher. I have to alter all of my recipes, and my supervision of the crockpot as though I were cooking on high. Many times the food around the sides and the bottom scortches. And yes, I am using plenty of liquid.
I would not buy this item again. I will be replacing it soon with a higher quality crockpot.

Handle on lid of my Rival Crock Pot came loose. Had not used it very many times. Tried to tighten handle but it came apart. Plastic that held it together just crumbled. Apparently the heat from crock pot damaged it although it was used mostly on low and should have been able to withstand the heat. Thinking twice about buying another Rival with that type of lid.
