Crock pots are not like they were in the initial years; due to worries about food safety, I've noticed newer crock pots spike the heat at the end of the cycle on "low." My guess is that this is to keep the food sufficiently warm during cooking to avoid bacterial growth. This pot keeps food on "warm" very hot. I had a cheese sauce set on warm to keep it after the initial cooking phase, well, it was cooking still on warm and got browned.

This is inexpensive and plain (no funky graphics) and the inner liner pulls out for easy cleaning; something some crock pots in this price range don't have. For a crockpot to use to keep mulled cider warm, cocktail meatballs simmering, or soup hot for serve-yourself-whenever, this is not a bad choice. Or it makes a good smaller crock--my regular crock is rather large and not always suitable for one-or-two person meals. On the whole, this pot has its uses and is reasonably priced enough for occasional purposes.

I normally am only cooking for myself and my fiance, so this crock pot tends to do just fine. I have another one that is much larger - but I barely use it! This crock pot is super cheap, and works fairly well considering the price. It tends to cook a little higher temperature than it should - sometimes stuff gets a little overcooked (depending on what you're making!).

The pot is also easy to clean. The liner inside pulls out and rinses off pretty easily... so far I haven't had many issues with it. For the price, I really can't complain too much. It makes a great crock pot for someone just starting out on their own, or as a gift to a college student or someone getting their first apartment/home. It has its faults, but overall its not a bad appliance.

I paid $5.99 and think it was a fabulous buy! It is a little smaller than most slow cookers - but the perfect size for our family. Also, because the heating elements are on the sides instead of the bottom, it does get hot. But since there's really no need to touch the sides while it's on, that's no big deal. I do wish it had a power indicator. That said, I LOVE that it doesn't take up too much room on the counter and is completely devoid of hokey decoration. We had Coq au Vin last night, and today we're cooking lamb with olive oil, lemon, garlic, rosemary and potatoes. The house smells like heaven! I'm hoping to buy several more at this price for gifts!

First,the space is so small,you only allow to chop one garlic; second,the blade isn't that sharp;the worse part is that it become rusty after washed.

..I'm DISABLED and I don't have any trouble using the Quick Chop. Actually I've been very happy with it. I was able to chop 2 bags of cranberries in less then 5 minutes, and yes, you do need to do small amounts at a time, but that should be obvious, it is NOT a big food processor! It works great on nutmeats, and everything else I've tried. I am so pleased with it that I am buying several for Christmas presents.

I love this handy little chopper - don't know how I lived without it! Works great with just about everything I've tried to chop. Just remember it's a small chopper and can't handle alot at one time but makes quick work of chopping in small quanities. Very easy clean up.
