I loved this slow cooker until it stopped working. I had it a couple years only using it about once every other month. It shut off in the middle of cooking the last time I used it, luckily I realized it soon enough and was able to turn it back on before the food spoiled, however it shut off a couple more times before it finished cooking the meal. I tried using it again the other day and it continuously shut off after less than being on for one minute. Ended up cooking on the stove top so had slightly different outcome than I wanted.

I've owned this one for over two years and it has been very reliable. Size permits large amount of food. I've even cooked a very large brisket by slicing in half and stacking. Pot is heavy but that adds to heat retention and insulation. Based on price and reliability I have gotten my money's worth!

Comment:
We loved the shape of the crock, the temperature probe, and the Keep Warm feature -- but...<br />The crock was not glazed properly and had a rough surface that food stuck to every time we cooked in it. It was almost impossible to clean properly due to this defect, so we had to use a liner. Hamilton Beach said they would replace the crock if we provided a credit card number for shipping; we did so, but Hamilton Beach never sent the replacement.<br />At just under two years old, using 2-3 times per month, the unit failed entirely -- it would not heat.<br />It fit our needs perfectly -- if only it worked... But with the poor customer service and extremely short product life, we must regrettably give it one star.
