I love my Cuisinart slow cooker! It is the perfect size for the 2 of us—yet can make a full dinner for 4 or more! Soup, Stew, Soup, Casserole, it makes them all with easy to read and work dials.
I would recommend this to a friend!

CHEAP DISPOSABLE JUNK

Absolutely garbage. It worked 3x before it started flashing errors and has never worked since.
Response from cuisinart.comBy Cuisinart, February 9, 2026
Thank you for sharing your feedback — we’re very sorry the unit has not worked as expected. Error flashing can sometimes be resolved by ensuring all components are properly seated and the unit is on a flat, stable surface, but we understand this has been frustrating. Our Consumer Assistance Center can troubleshoot the issue or discuss replacement options at 1-800-726-0190. Please reference Ticket #8900519939 when you call so we can assist you directly.

The Best Slow Cooker out there for the money!!

I just love this slow cooker!! I bought the same one over 10 years ago and wore it out, so bought another one. They do a great job evenly and thoroughly cooking whatever you put in them. The ceramic crock is super easy to remove and clean in the dishwasher. The timer for cooking automatically switches to 7.5 hours of warm setting so there's no more over cooking something because it got done while you were still in the office. Trust me, you will NOT be disappointed in this slow cooker!

The Cuisinart 3.5 Programmable Slow Cooker is exactly what I was wanting to purchase. It is small enough to store in my pantry. The interior liner is light and therefore easy to lift out and wash in the sink. My first use making apricot chicken thighs was a success. Despite its small size, the cooking time was the same as for a larger slow cooker. I appreciate the recipe and instruction booklets accompanying the slow cooker. While my 6-quart slow cooker is still functional after 17 years, I was never able to store it in a kitchen cupboard. I had to carry it up and down from the basement. Too large and too heavy. As I have gotten older, the slow cooker has become way too cumbersome. I am thrilled with my Cuisinart!

I feel that it doesn’t heat up enough on the high mode
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

We’re sorry to hear the unit is not heating to your expectations. For best performance, make sure the appliance is fully plugged directly into a wall outlet, as extension cords can sometimes affect heating performance. If the issue continues, our team would be happy to help troubleshoot further. Please contact our Consumer Assistance Center at 1-800-726-0190. Ticket #8900557060

Thank you for your feedback regarding the 3.5 Quart Programmable Slow Cooker, and we’re sorry to hear about your experience. Slow cookers are designed to gradually build heat over time, but if heating seems slower than expected, ensuring the lid remains closed and the unit is placed on a flat, stable surface may help with performance. Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback, as it helps us improve future models.

Dependable, great quality, easy to use. It doesn't have a few of the doo dads I've seen on others but they don't really matter. It is very easy to use, excellent quality, the perfect size. I fill it halfway if it's for fewer people and the food comes out great.
I would recommend this to a friend!
