I love this slow cooker! I own an older version of this slow cooker and it is still ticking. I decided to get a second slow cooker to cook multiple items at the same time. The unit is very roomy. The retractable cord is a plus. It will hold a decent size chicken and a small to medium size turkey. I love the soft push-buttons on the unit. It cooks food evenly and has HIGH, MED., and WARM options. It also has a timer, that allows you to pre-determine how long to cook items. The slow cooker comes with a Gourmet Recipe Cookbook. The pot comes out for easy cleaning and includes a cooking rack. Also, it is very sleek, stylish and looks good sitting on the counter.
