It doesn't take a chef to figure out how to use this thing. It also doesn't take a genus to realize what you're getting for $19.99.

I've had this crockpot for 2-3 years now and the only problems I've had with it were my own fault - i.e. filling the pot too full or etc. I made soups, stews, and chili in this thing and it always turns out fantastic.

Seriously you folks out there expecting this thing to be solidly constructed and to be able to handle making more sophisticated meals - maybe you should consider paying a bit more than $20. I'm sure this thing would have problems with more complicated recipes (I've never tried personally)...but I'm stressing this point again...it's a $20 crockpot...

For the price and for what this thing can do, you just can't beat it. Nothing beats coming home from work and having stew or soup hot and ready to eat.

Would be nice to have a "keep warm" setting, but for the price, this is excellent value. Very easy to use, clean, etc.
Perfect size for 1-2 people.

This is just the perfect size for one or two people or for heating soups and keeping food warm.

This is the first crock pot I've ever used. It's small but really does the trick. Loved everything I've made in it so far. It makes enough for a dinner for two with left overs the next day, which is great. I guess the only improvement might be a warmer option in addition to the high and low heat.

Rival has no rivals when it comes to small slow cookers. I am perfectly satisfied with this item. The instruction book includes recipes and a guide to adapting other recipes to the slow cooker.
