We received this as a wedding present and it used to work great for the first couple of years as we didn't use it all that often (we've used it maybe 30 times total). I loved the nonstick feature but about a year ago it started bubbling and the surface came off but it was out of warranty per the "lovely" lady at AC customer service. Now after "cooking" something for the whole day I find out that it heated up and shut off some time after I went to work. Now I have to have plan B for dinner. Off it goes into the trash. For this price I would have expected it to last longer.
