I RECEIVED A SWING AND SERVE CROCK POT FOR CHRISTMAS AND THOUGHT IT WOULD BE JUST THE RIGHT SIZE FOR ME.  DECIDED TO 
TRY IT BEFORE I THREW THE BOX AWAY AND WAS VERY DISAPPOINTED.
I HAD SOUP IN THE CROCK FOR AN HOUR AND A HALF AND IT WASN'T EVEN HOT.  CROCK POT WAS HOT, BUT NOT FOOD.  FINALLY REALIZED WHY.  IT WAS BECAUSE THE LID DOESN'T NOT FIT CORRECTLY.  JUGGLES BACK AND FORTH AND DOES NOT FIT TIGHTLY AND THERE IS A PRETTY NICE SIZE GAP ON EITHER SIDE SO THE HEAT IS COMING OUT.  I HAD A 
CROCK POT ONCE BEFORE LIKE THAT AND THEN BOUGHT ONE THAT HAS 
THE LOCKS ON THE SIDES AND THAT WORKS WONDERFULLY.  MAYBE YOU SHOULD HAVE DONE THAT WITH THIS ONE.  WILL BE RETURNING IT.
SO DISAPPOINTED.
