I am throwing my crock pot away because this is way better! It has more functions and is so easy to use and to move around. I love how you can remove the pan from the base. This is very convenient for when the dish is done. It is very easy to navigate and i love the size of it. It is the perfect size. It is not too big but it is just big enough. It heats up fast. The non stick element is great. The food i cooked in it came out wonderful! I definitely recommend this product and i will be using it alot.
