I got this product over a month ago and I am so glad that I did. I have had various crock pots in my lifetime but nothing like this one. This one has so many different and great features that I just absolutely love it. I have already cooked a roast with potatoes and carrots and all the trimmings and the last at about 7 hours and it came just out perfect. The meat was so tender. I also have cooked pinto beans in it and I left them overnight and they were just delicious. If you are looking for a similar product to this one, I highly recommend this one. It is really a great product
