When we received this slow cooker, we didn't really believe what the picture showed us. Once we pulled it out of the box, we found a bulky, three bowl slow cooker. We used this appliance multiply times and it works fine. The issue we had was the bulkiness and storage. This is a tall piece of kitchen equipment. If you entertain a lot and need multiple crock pots, this works great, but make sure that you have the space to store.
