I've been using the Cuisinart Multicooker since December 2017, and the performance has been excellent. My old Crock Pot wasn't working well any more, and when I researched slow cookers, this model was highly rated. It solved my Christmas dinner dilemma with its steamer function (too much asparagus for my old steamer!), and I use it nearly every week for beef stew, pot roasts, chili, you name it. The brown/saute function means I no longer have to brown meat in a separate pan before transferring to my slow cooker. The programmable controls add a lot of functionality as well. Nothing ever sticks, and the liner is super easy to clean. It's dishwasher safe, and, although the care instructions don't suggest this, after drying I wipe the liner with a light coating of oil to preserve it. I seriously love this cooker!
