I recieved this a year ago.  I loved the size and that I could set a timer on it.  I also liked that you could lock the lid on.  It worked fine, although it did seem like it cooked a little slower then what I was used to with my old crock pot.  One day I plugged it in and it would not heat up.  I tried everything I could think of to get it to work, but no luck.  I ended up throwing it away.
