This is the first time I have used a programmable slow cooker and let me just say it is AMAZING! Design is very simple to use and as always the quality is that which is expected of a croc pot product. Size is marginal for a 3 person family but otherwise it's a perfect product. Great a warm dip and also a casserole I made for a picnic. I would definitely recommend this product. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
