Nice and big for cooking mass quantities,
This unit cooks as well as any crock pot. I suppose they all work pretty well since the older one I had previously borrowed from my neighbor worked fine too…..
This is a Nice and big crock pot so you can cook large meals for freezing….I have been very happy with the purchase, although I kind of wish I had gotten a programmable one.

|This as close as it gets to just right for the price.,
I just received my new unit. We are using it for the first time right now. This report is to note details of purchase and first use.
1: It was packaged good enough to survive UPS undamaged: Great job Amazon!
2: Directions for use (the instructions pages), are few and nearly usless. Since they have to put them into French & Spanish as well as English, I guess they wanted to keep it VERY short.
3: It does not say this in the listing, but it has about a 24 inch cord. This keeps their costs down: if the cord was any longer the cord would probably not be heavy enough for the load?
4: It LOOKs great! I love the features of the well made see through top, the removable cooking dish, and the keep warm setting. Nice too that there are NO electronics to screw up: electronics hate heat and moisture….. which this would provide in spades of course.
5: It does have the wire lid holder on the back, but it does NOT have a seal, a stretch lid latch, nor an indicator lamp on the front to say that it is turned on or not. I guess all of those items (except the indicator lamp) must be bought separately.
6: I saw several listed “8 Qt Pots” where people were very disappointed that they were not 8 Qt at, all but barely made a 7 Qt at best. This unit IS an 8 Qt and if you needed a large one, you will love it’s size!
Now that I have this, and assuming that it does cook as well as others have said it would, would I buy it again? Absolutely! It may lack a couple of “things” that I would have preferred, but this is a very good item for the cost thereof. Enjoy!

|Extremely pleased with lg size,
I have been really pleased with this purchase. My last one was a 6 qt so I after it finally quit I wanted to get the largest I could afford. With 3 hungry sons, and a husband, I needed a bigger size, if there was ever gonna be any left overs for my lunch. It heats up really fast, seems to cook my recipes faster than my old one. The spoon/lid rest that doubles as a cord wrap during storage is handy. The only fault I have found with mine is there is no light indicating that it is on or the setting that its on. So you can’t just glance at it to see if you set it on high or low you have to be close enough to see the setting that the dial is pointing to. But other than that it has been great. I use mine at least twice a week and with cooler weather I will be using it even more. I would definitively recommend this crock-pot.
