This cooker is a replacement of this exact same Slow Cooker.  My previous one was damaged in my trip at Thanksgiving.  Still worked but was unable to repair.  It is so versatile. Can be used so many ways. Love the fact that it locks.  Bought my 1st one after a spill in  my car taking a soup to share with my fellow election officers at 5am... Decided not to settle for any other Slow Cooker.   Purchased another Hamilton Beach Slow Cooker in December like this one, but realized later it was only a 5 quart. So returned that one last week and purchased this one.  Thanks for the prompt shipping.

Pros: Versatile So many ways to control cooking. Locks for safe carrying.  6 quart size
Cons: None thhat i can see.
