Question: Are there just low, high and keep warm settings or must you program it?
Document: (If you haven't looked up the health benefits of this stuff, you're in for a pleasant surprise. )There are two features that I won't do without now:  the ability to program time in half-hour increments up to 24 hours (yay!) and the four settings:  high, low, simmer, and warm. Turns out the 'simmer' setting is almost the same as what 'low' used to be years ago, which is ideal for things like bone broth.
One attribute is that you can program it for up to 24 hours and the timer does automatically switch to heating once the cooking is over. The programming allows for four settings; high, low, simmer, and warm, and the timer can be set in increments of 30 minutes. For some the programmable timer is a huge plus, for others a concern should it malfunction or the display stops working correctly.As far as actual use the cooker does a great job with the insert offering reliable heating and cooking.
I do love this cooker, and the only reason I subtract a star is bc I echo an earlier review by saying I wish I could program it to go between low and high settings on its own rather than just go to warm; however, at least now I can program more specific cook times as well as manually turn it to warm (great when transporting cooked foods to other locations for serving) rather than wait a cook cycle for it to go to warm the way my old Smart Pot did.
I was looking for a smaller slow cooker, and this one fits my needs perfectly. I cooked a meat-loaf over night and was thrilled with results. This is a quality product and easy to use, a nice  weight and size for me. The insert removes for easy cleaning. Just put food inside, set it low or high cook and set length of time, after the cook time is complete, it cycles to a keep warm feature.
Very easy to use. I love the simmer function.&#34;Programmable&#34; basically means timer. If you set it for 4 hrs on high, after 4 hrs it will go to warm to keep it at a safe temperature. Same for low, set for low 8 hrs, after  8 hrs it automatically sets to warm. Once it gets to warm mode the timer resets to another 8 hours. I don't know what happen after that 8 hrs.
What I wish it also had ability to do is program time on high and program time on low, having it switch to low after time on high had elapsed, then go to warm. As is, it is not truly programmable.
I was disappointed in the capability of this slow cooker. I was expecting that I could set a timer to delay cooking for a few hours. The cooking time starts immediately! Though there are four cooking temps (high, low, simmer, and warm), there is no ability to program the cooking using various temps. You are stuck with the one that you begin with for the duration unless you manually change the temp.
I use it almost every day for three years now. Still works great! Love the program on it. I can set for as many hours as i need for my recipies. You can pre program to cook from 1/2 hour to 24 hours on high or low, after time is up it goes to a warm setting that keeps meals just the right temp. for eating.Slo cooking is the way to go. You just need to prepare side dishes sometimes. it is a healthy way to cook.
I do love this cooker and have been very happy with the results when using it. I love the four settings (high 212, low 200, simmer 185, warm 165 and the fact that it turns itself onto warm as programmed and eventually off). I was so tempted to give it five stars or at least four stars.
I got this slightly under 2 years ago for Christmas and it was GREAT... it was the perfect size for me and my husband and even worked when making larger meals like Kalua pork, I had to push it in but I was able to get a 3lb pork shoulder butt roast in there. I loved that it had the high and low settings and automatically switched to "warm" when it was done...
Answer: this pot is the only one that I know of that has a "simmer"  button.  You do not have to program it. You can choose to cook at whatever temperature you wish or if you want to set the timer you can. At the end of the time it automatically switches to warm. No need to worry about burned food here. IMO this pot does run hot. Something to consider when setting the timer. Hope this helps. I love mine.
