I am really pleased with this slow cooker. It is easy to program and cooks efficiently. The size is perfect for me as a single person. The cooker is easily cleaned with the removable pot. And it does not take up much space. I like the oval shape, also. I would recommend this cooker to anyone who does not need to make large amounts of food. I am a fan of all Cuisinart, in general.  And shipping was fast. Thanks, I'm happy!
