This crockpot is the perfect size for my family of two and holds just the right amount of food where we have some leftovers but not for a week. I love how the lid clasps on tight and doesn't just slide off while transporting. It's easy to clean with the removable stoneware that is dishwasher AND oven safe, score!! I love that it displays your time so you can keep track of when it will be done. It's easy to throw a meal together in it, set it and forget it until after work, but even if it's done before you get off, it automatically sets to keep warm once the timer is complete so it doesn't over cook your food or burn it. The convenience is excellent for a busy lifestyle and gives me back more time to enjoy doing other things rather than cooking for hours.
