I got this as a Christmas present. I love my original, very old Crock-Pot, that is all one unit, no removal crock. I expected to love this newer version, but when I tried cooking chili on High for 40 minutes, the chili was barely warm. The crock doesn't fit tightly in the heating unit; there is about 1/2 inch of space between the crock and the unit. Is it supposed to be this way, or do I have a defective cooker? I want to use this gift, but I need it to heat and cook the food. Help!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Just what we needed for two people. No frills and works great. Had a larger one, but got a crack across the bottom of the crock. Hope this doesn't happen with a smaller crock.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought three of these 4.5 quart crock-pots for our church. We have the 6 quart but for small groups that was too big. This is the right size to make soup, sauce, vegetables or anything really for a small group. We have put them to great use already.

Used my crockpot yesterday. Was going to wash it today and cover shattered as I put it in the sink of hot soapy water. What do I do to get a new cover?

Have used this baby for years. just fill it up with your favorite dish, add water ( I add a envelope McCormick stew power) or stock , set on low and walk away .. for me its a nap. When you get back from work ..say 8 hours you open the door and you smell heaven .. get out that bowl and go to town. Its a great healthy no fuss meal. In the winter I put the rest in the garage and start it over the next day with a bit more goodies. Clean up is no problem, just take the ceramic bowl out, fill with water and a bit of dish soap. The next day empty and it just about spotless.

Not advertised size

We bought this for a 4.5 quart crock pot, but the first time I used it, I couldn't fit my ingredients in it! When I measured its capacity I found when filled to the brim it holds 3 quarts, 2.5 cups. That's a half cup less than a full quart small! I asked a question about that in the questions section below and was told the glaze might reduce the capacity somewhat. I sincerely doubt there are 3.5 cups of glaze on the inside of the stoneware! I guess like everything else, the company shrinks the product and hopes consumers won't notice.

Didn't last long :(

The model of my Crock-Pot is actually SCR400-SP; I couldn't find it to select that model. I used it twice, without problem; on the third use, it died ... it didn't even get warm. I checked the outlet, and it was fine. I had guests coming over for dinner, so I had gone to the store to pick up a few things. When I got back, the pot was still cold. Unfortunately, we had to order carry-out! I bought my first Crock-Pot 40 years ago, and it's still working; however, I wanted a new one with the removal stoneware but it turned out to be a lemon!!

I've tried other brands and they just don't have the same quality that the "Real" crock-pot has. The stone cookware makes all the difference and the heating is consistant with settings. Low actually means low... it's amazing how many other brands say "Low" setting but seem just as hot and "Hight" setting and cook the meat either to fast or way to slow.
My last "Crock-Pot" lasted 12 years + and I was so sad to see it go. I'm looking forward to 12 years + with my new one.
Thank you Crock-pot.
