Got this as a wedding present last summer and really started using it in January this year; probably 3-4 times a month. I love using it for meal prepping and an occasional dinner. Clean up is easy, love the digital feature and was really enjoying using it.  Agree with other reviews that it does get very hot, even on low. Not much difference between the 2 settings. While it’s cooking, it’ll make cracking/popping noises every now and then, figured no big deal, just the ceramic adjusting to the heat. Last week it finally cracked. A large crack through the side and bottom. Put water in it and it all leaked out. And best part - this company doesn’t sell replacements. And the company they refer you to doesn’t have any. So 6 months of seldom use… not great.
