The 4 quart crock pot is a good crock pot. All of the features worked as advertised. I especially liked the programmable features. They made it very easy to start cooking and leave and not have to worry about the crock pot. My food did turn out a little dry. I think that was mainly because i did not use enough moisture. Other than that this was a good crock pot slow cooker. I received this item for free to review.
