This product is very good. I really like the wire clips on it for transporting it places. The lid fit very good--it had a gasket on it and also had a vent hole. I used the manual mode and it was easy to program. I liked that it counted the time down for me (instead of me trying to remember how long it has been cooking).  The only problems were the crock is a little to heavy for me and I had trouble trying to program the the flex cook mode--it is a great feature. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
