This is an awesome crockpot. It cooks roast beautifully and tender. The size of the pot is perfect for my huge pot roast famiy gatherings that we love to host!!! It very simple to use and love the fact that once the cooking hours are done, it switches to the warm setting. My search for the perfect crockpot ends with this one. I will order more of these as gifts to some of my family members and my friends. I may even order myself another one (lol). Awesome product!!!
