I am loving my new Crockpot! The size is fabulous for making those larger meals (I like to make a double batch of marinara to freeze, and the 8 quart is the only one that will handle it). The buttons on this one are much better than others I have had in the past - they seem sturdier, and the display is easy to read. I do wish it had a delay function, but at least it does switch to "keep warm," so that helps if I decide to make something a bit earlier in the day.
