POOR DESIGN I returned for refund
Author's Rating:
Pros: Didn't see any.
Cons: Poorly designed product. Put emphasis on looks and not function.
The Bottom Line: null
Review: Was thrilled to get my crock pot only to find out the lid fit poorly. Lids are pretty basic and aren't rocket science. It should fit. Period. Large gaps between the lid and crockery. Poorly designed. They put the emphasis on looks and not... Read Full Review by notsoltd, Jul 24, 2008

Pros: none
Cons: High and Low settings are reversed
The Bottom Line: null
Review: After burning two roasts and some chicken I started to do some checking. I found that the high and low setting are reversed.

Pros: Sleek design Nice price Lid fits on tightly to prevent steam loss.
Cons: Touch pad died too quickly. Unit gets hot to the touch.
The Bottom Line: After this experience, I'll be avoiding the touch pad design and will stick to dial knobs only.
Review: I've been a big fan of Rival slow cookers since my mom bought one when I was a kid. I loved coming home from school and smelling her Coq au Vin, the dish I still cherish most. I needed a new slow cooker and opted for the sleek looking Rival model with... Read Full Review by VTMom, Jan 31, 2008

Pros: Removable crock for easy clean-up.
Cons: Cooks too fast as a slow cooker; don't leave unattended for more than 3 hours.
The Bottom Line: null
Review: This product should not be considered a slow cooker. A slow cooker should allow the user to cook on a low temperature setting for 7-8 hours. This product, on its low setting, will cook a whole chicken in 3.5 hours...this is way to fast. I have ruined... Read Full Review by reviewsbyfred, Jan 20, 2008

Review: I would have to say this Slow Cooker's best feature how fast it cooks your food. This slow cooker does get very hot on the outside. I would not leave it in a spot where children much touch it. The handles do not get hot which is one thing I looked for... Read Full Review by texasgirlcole, Jan 7, 2008

Review: I've had this crockpot for 2 years, and I purchased it due to the feature where it will change to a"keep warm"setting after the food has finished cooking. I also liked it's sleek appearance. The problem is that the keep warm setting is hot enough... Read Full Review by extrahorizons, Jul 18, 2007

Review: I bought this crock thinking it would be a good replacement for my old one. NEVER AGAIN will I buy a Rival product.

The Bottom Line: If you're going to buy a crockpot and don't want to spend too much, give this a try.
Review: It's that crockpot time of year again. I've been through a few - but they always seem to be Rival. This one, as far as I'm concerned, has been the best so far. Not perfect, but not bad. I received this as a birthday gift about a year and a half ago... Read Full Review by ceekryt, Mar 8, 2007

Pros: THIS DOESN'T APPLY - NO PROS
Cons: THE WORST CROCKPOT I'VE USED
The Bottom Line: null
Review: I found this crock pot very disappointing. At first I thought I had purchased a"bad"one. After a long, drawn out experience with the Rival people, they did send me another one, which by the way was just as bad. The first one burned my countertop and...
