This is the third one of these crockpots I had love the color that’s why I bought them but one for my daughter Two for me to for me broke just found out my daughters also broke will never buy this product again it’s a shame it’s cute but if you can’t keep it plugged in cooking without it cracking no point in having itIt boiled over on one side on the inside of the slow cooker. It stained it and I was a little disappointed. I hope it doesn’t continue to boil over. I will put less liquid in it next time.Used it right away works very well easy to useLoved it for exactly two years but it just randomly cracked yesterday, didn’t bump it or quickly changed the temperature… just weak spot I guessThe size is great for family mealsBeautiful and works excellentWorks great,nice to look at on your counterI needed a new one and I read lots of reviews, all mixed as usual. Thought about it and I am happy so far with this one. It's about two times the size of my last one so some getting use to. Very easy to clean and cooks great. I was worried because of the one post about melting handle but so far so good, no melting.I ordered this slow cooker based on the good reviews, reasonable price and cute colour. Now that I've received it, I can't believe people would rate this over 3 stars. First off, it arrived damaged and dented in several spots. It's no wonder though, as it's made of the most flimsy metal/material possible. Even if yours doesn't arrive damaged, you can count on it denting extremely easily, especially if you plan on moving it around or storing it in a cupboard with other items. If you don't plan on using it and have an impenetrable bubble to store it in, it may be okay. On top of that, the lid fits horribly. I can't even describe how disappointing the quality of this slow cooker is. I give one star for the cute colour but do not recommend.I wanted a bigger crockpot so I could double the recipe of things I like to make and freeze. The size is perfect for that and I love that it is wide so easy to stir. I am finding that high heat pretty much boils everything so next time I will be using the low heat to cook and then the warm for low heat to keep it warm until we are ready to eat. I think the high heat would probably be really good for getting something thawed out fast but I haven't tried it.Awesome size for the price. Heats up really fast. Cooks efficiently. Used it today for the first time and I was not disappointed! High quality. The color adds a great pop of fun to my kitchen. 10/10 would recommend and buy again!lid wont fit on right so it allows steam to escape very quicklyI wish it had a seallove the colorit's very heavyand the grey pot itself had minor chips on the bottom that I cant see it lasting very long :(Used it 4 times now and size is perfect so we have left overs for quick meals during the week. 8 quart means no boil over either like our old one which was only 4. Easy clean up as well with none skid pads in bottom so doesn’t slip on counter top. Best value for money and happy with my choice
