Great for the frequent user
I've broken three of the ceramic crock pots in the past year though heavy use. This one is not going to break, and it cooks wonderfully. Lightweight and easy to clean. Love the many ways to use the various pieces, it would be great for a small kitchen. It was entirely worth the additional cost to upgrade reliability and function.

"Keep Warm" setting too low; otherwise a good product
I have another brand of slow cooker with automatic controls, timer, etc., and I like it. However, it has a very large and heavy crockery insert that is difficult to handle and wash. A friend has one of these West Bend 6-qt. cookers and likes it. I studied the reviews as well as looking carefully at my friend's model. Both the light weight and the non-stick surface convinced me to order my own. I have used it several times now -- more often than I would use my super-duper one, which is awkward and heavy. I'm keeping that one for big jobs only. This West Bend one's a breeze to use and clean. My only negative: the "Keep Warm" setting is too cool. Other than that, it's a winner, even if you have to pull the plug to shut it off. Good product at a good price.

Everyone Should Own One
The first West Bend slow cooker I purchased was way back in the 1960's at Montgomery Ward. I literally wore it out. Since, I have purchased two at garage sales and am still using the last one that I bought which was already very well used. In the 1990's I purchased one for my daughter at K-Mart. We use them on a continuous basis. That is why I have purchased two new ones. I feel anyone who uses these cookers should have two. I have a crock pot also but do not use it. I cook so many different things in them. The West Bend slow cooker is the best I have ever found and do not know what I would do without one.
