I am a huge fan of slow cookers but have never owned one that had a programming feature so I was really excited to try this out. I really love that my husband and I can prep, set and come home to a fresh, home cooked meal. It's SO easy to use. The clipped-tight lid feature is a nice addition and will surely come in handy when transporting meals for gatherings. Cleaning is a breeze because both the stoneware insert and lid are dishwasher safe. This is my new favorite product! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
