This slow cooker is amazing and has very convenient features. Defrosting meat is finally quick and easy. The six quart size makes it roomy enough to make tons of yummy recipes. I love that it's programmable and has a digital screen. I can rest assure knowing my slow cooker is turned on by it's bright screen. So many times have I forgotten to plug my old slow cooker in after many hours thinking it was on. I'm so happy with this product, I really recommend it to anyone!
