Crock Pots are classics, but this one looks like something straight out of a modern, professional kitchen. With a simple design in chrome with black handles and a removable black stoneware crock insert, this 4-quart pot will go with the look of most kitchens. Besides the cookbook, there's also a small catalog of accessories such as tailored vinyl covers, baking pans, meat racks, and thermal carrying cases for transporting food in the stoneware crock.

Clean-up is very easy; warm soapy water will do the trick. (The heating unit is not immersible; just use a soapy rag or cloth.) Do not use scratchy, abrasive cleaners on the chrome exterior. The dimensions of the slow cooker are 12 inches across by 10-1/2 inches high, including handles, feet and lid. Rival provides a limited warranty against defects in material and workmanship under normal use conditions. --Garland Withers

Content: Like others here, I was very disappointed when the handles on the side of this Crock Pot started cracking and crumbling to pieces. I found out there's a recall for this Crock Pot due to this issue. Check out www.rivalrecall.com for details (you cut the plug off of your Crock Pot base, send it to them, and they'll send you a new base - you keep the same crock and lid). Overall I give the product 3 stars since it still gets very hot to the touch. I wish the handles hadn't failed as they did, but I appreciate Rival shipping me a replacement free of charge.

Content: We used this crock pot four times. After the first two, the knob crumbled into chunks. Then the right handle broke into three pieces (while being stored after the third time we used it), now I am making soup, and the right handle is cracking. This is like a bad joke.
Summary: Total junk

Content: Be careful ordering from this merchant. Ordered this slow cooker on 12/10/07 for a Christmas gift, my "confirmation" said delivery estimate 12/14/07 - 12/19/07. Never heard a word from PresentsForYou. Received notification email from Amazon (thank you, Amazon) that the order had not yet been ship-confirmed by PresentsForYou, & that I could contact PresentsForYou for more information about this order, including the expected ship date, that I may contact the merchant directly by replying to the e-mail message, which I did. I never heard anything from them, & had to go through Amazon to cancel the order.

Summary: POOR "Customer Service"

Content: A while ago, I received an Amazon gift certificate which I spent on this product. Reviewing utensils and appliances is not my thing but I feel obligated to say that after Amazon did its usual fine job with prompt delivery, we have found this item a very useful addition to our household. Like so many, I guess, we are struggling financially. We therefore try to eat a lot of soups and stews. This crockpot uses heat very efficiently and turns out exceptionally well blended meals every time. I'm very glad I bought it and I think it would be of value to anyone in the same position as my family and myself. Five stars!!!
Summary: A Really Smart Buy
