Gives a high quality feel with the stainless steel and digital panel. Love being able to program it to cook a set amount of time in case I lose track of time or forget about it. The warming function is really nice too. Keeps the food at a nice temp without it over cooking it. The lid might be my favorite part. It has a rubber seal all around it, and it locks securely on top. You can travel with this safely, and no spilling! Having the plug in thermometer is very helpful for checking the doneness of a roast or whatever meat you’re cooking. Nice large pot to make a good sized roast and veggies. Being able to wash the pot and lid in the dishwasher was a nice bonus. Also came with soups vide bags and recipes. Looking forward to trying them this winter. Really nice kitchen appliance!
