"Diasppointed in this Crock" 2009-07-10
By Sara M. McIntosh
My hinge broke after the first use, but I was willing to live without it. Unfortunately, after the third time of using this crock, I noticed a very pronounced cracking sound coming from the lid of the crock. Where the hinge was once attached, the screws were left to cause the glass of the lid to slowly crack from exposure. Also, the screws attached to the metal part of the crock were becoming increasingly hot because the insulator of the plastic hinge was no longer there, which meant I was afraid of getting severely burnt.

I tried taking it back to where I purchased it, and they were not able to offer any remedy because I had used it three times despite this purchase still being within the 90 day refund with a receipt period. Alas, I kept the stoneware but threw away the hazardous parts. I'm not sure what I will do with the pretty stoneware because it doesn't fit well in the new slow cooker. Perhaps, I'll drill a hole in the bottom and make a planter out of it.

"Fabulous Crockpot" 2009-03-25
By Jimmie Hilton (South Carolina)

the handle on my lid broke.also the handles on the crock are cracked has

never been carried.trying to find a number for rival to order parts.

problem

has the lid been recalled.

"Poor Quality" 2008-11-17
By M. Spotten
This is a beautiful crock pot. Unfortunately, it is not good quality. The hinge broke off almost immediately but I lived with it. Then the ceramic insert cracked. I thought it was something I had done but then when I went to replace it I found 27 reviews where the ceramic insert cracked. This is a defective product. I am not sure why they still sell it.

"BEWARE of plastic hinges and handles" 2008-10-04
By Amazon shopper (Pennsylvania, USA)
WARNING TO ANYONE ABOUT TO BUY A RIVAL SLOW COOKER WITH A PLASTIC HINGE OR HANDLE ATTACHED TO A GLASS LID: My slow cooker was 18 months old when the following happened. The plastic hinge cracked apart where it attaches to the glass lid and is now unusable. There are two bare screws sticking out of the glass lid. (It was such a nice feature to be able to flip the lid up to serve food and not have to find a spot to set the lid down.) Upon further inspection, I found that the plastic handle on top of the glass lid has cracked half way across and is about to totally break. Once this happens, the lid will be totally useless. I never placed the lid or the stoneware in the dishwasher; they were always washed by hand. As far as usage, I used it once to twice a month.

I contacted Rival's customer service. I was told that since my slow cooker was past their 1-year warranty, they would not send me a replacement hinge or handle. They did offer me 25% off a new product, however.

"Travel bag for 7-Quart Crock-Pot" 2010-10-10

"Works Fine For Current 6-Quart CrockPot Brand Slow Cooker" 2010-09-21
By Katherine Fallon (Acworth, GA)
I understand some people's reservations about this product, but I was careful about what I bought and if you are too you won't have a problem. I chose to buy the current 6-quart model (with the hinged lid and digital timer) of the CrockPot brand slow cooker because this is a CrockPot brand bag. I figured the bag would most likely conform best to CrockPot brand products.

I can't comment on other brands, but the 6-quart model is a perfect fit for this bag. I don't know if CrockPot sells a 7-quart model, but the 6-quart is PLENTY big. I don't think the CrockPot brand can be responsible for the fit of other brand slow cookers.

On a separate note, the photo is a little misleading, but on the positive side. It looks like there's just one long shoulder strap, but there are actually 2 shorter straps that gather above the bag, which to me seems like it would allow for more even handling during transport. There's also a strap inside to secure the lid and the the bag itself is insulated.

"If you love really WELL-DONE everything, this could be for you!" 2010-02-15
By Just Al (FORT COLLINS, CO United States)
Same experience as everyone else. I just tried 2 hours for a recipe that called for 5 to 8 hours and everything was still well-done-ruined. (It just sits there and boils to death in the cauldron). I was thinking about trying WARM for LOW, but I see that someone else said that didn't work out so well either.

I'm going to try a cast-iron dutch oven and do my slow cooking in the oven instead.

There is a rumor on the WEB that all crock pots stabilize to the same TEMP on HIGH and LOW now days, about 190-degrees. LOW is supposed to use less wattage -- meaning that LOW takes a little longer to nuke your roast. The rumor goes on to say that LOW used to stabilize to about 160 degrees, but people were getting sick because they couldn't follow simple instructions pertaining to thawing out that hunk of frozen meat BEFORE throwing it into the crock-pot. (I guess they couldn't be bothered to buy a thermometer either). Ruined it for everyone.

"crockpot" 2010-02-06
By Clara H. Hoyer (Massachusetts)
This was a gift to my daughter and she has been using it happily so far. Would recommend it.

"Seems okay: Only used it once so far" 2009-01-16
By Rusty (Kentucky USA)
Amazon sells this crock pot through Target/ITC. I bought it at a local Target store for the same price.

Didn't want to pay a lot for a crock pot because we'll use it infrequently. Wife says Rival is best. I went with the wife's recommendation.

When I got home, I was sad to see that Rival is part of "The Holmes Group." I've sworn off Holmes' products because of their ventilation fans whereby they charge you money to get a warranty replacement and it's rigged so the charge plus shipping is the same amount as a new fan. Essentially, this means, their warranty is not only worthless but it is a scam.

I don't know if warranty will be handled in a similarly dismal fashion should we have problems with this Rival crock pot. Nevertheless, wife wants a basic Rival crock pot so I'll give in and accept a "Holmes" product this one time for her sake.

We've used it only once so far. I will say the lid fits tightly and doesn't have a gasket because it doesn't seem to need one. I had a 4 pound roast + 1.5 quarts of liquids in the thing and over a 10 hour cook cycle, the liquid level only dropped about 1/8 of an inch. I think it's important that a crock pot hold moisture in. This one seems to do it well.

Cooking on low for 10 hours, the liquids just barely bubbled slightly as the food barely simmered--just as I expected. So, I'd have to say it seems to maintain temperature accurately.

This crock pot has just a good old reliable off/warm/low/high switch. I avoided Rival's digital models. Some Rival digital models don't allow much actual temperature control--like you can't manually switch from a cook temp to a keep warm temp. It's all forced upon you when you choose a cooking time. Rival has another digital model called the "countdown timer" and this seemed like a good thing until I asked about what happens during a power outage. Know what happens? It shuts down. So, with Rival's digital models, if your power blips off for a few seconds while you're gone for the day, you might come home to rotten uncooked food. Here at our house, we have such power blips about 10 to 15 times per year. I have a bread maker that I use frequently. It has no provision to cope with power outages. If the power blips off a few seconds, the cycle stops and the bread is ruined. There's no way to set it so that it restarts where it left off. It has to restart from the beginning. I have sworn I won't get another digital cooking appliance that is going to go dead due to a momentary power outage. So, this basic crock pot with its good old standard rotary off/warm/low/high switch is totally immune to power blips. It will just go back to work when the power comes back on.

I heard a "crack" sound after about 4 hours. I was afraid I suffered ceramic crock damage as many people seem to complain about. Most cracks seem to be in the Kitchen Aid and Hamilton Beach product reviews. Nevertheless, I thought I was a victim. It was a loud crack sound. Really was. But, I've examined the crockery insert (liner) and it seems to be unharmed. Don't know what the noise was. Maybe there's a practically invisible hariline crack that will become more readily apparent later on. I'll watch closely and post back if that's the case. Maybe the cracking sound only indicated the relief of some benign stressors inherent in the stamped metal housing?

Like I say, I'll post if there's a crock defect that shows up later on. The crockery liner is so heavy, it would cost a lot to ship it back to Rival if they demanded such in a warranty claim. It's so heavy, I'll bet it would cost at least 3/4 as much as an entirely new crock pot just to ship the broken liner to Rival. Reports are that Kitchen Aid covers the entire cost of replacements for defective crockery liners. I hope Rival will do the same and I hope they don't resort to flim-flam warranty scams like they do with their Holmes ventilation fans.

So, this model is a basic crock pot with a basic switch and I presume it utilizes the basic bi-metal thermostat design that is common in lots of appliances. Therefore, unless the Chinese factories really screwed things up, this Rival crock pot should last as long as those old Rival crock pots that seem to have favorably impressed my wife.

"Gives the word "junk" a bad name!!" 2010-07-30
By gullible
A slow cooker that doesn't cook slow!! I guess I missed something. Must admit that I am partially the blame. I didn't attempt to use until after the warranty expired. WOW, I'm smart!! That's on me. I called customer service, what a joke!! Was told that the temperature settings were changed and users would have to get used to the idea that it cooks faster. I did pose the question as to why wasn't the name changed to "fast cooker" and the recipes rewritten to correspond with the new heat settings, naturally, couldn't/wouldn't answer. Can only comment that I must be gullible and incapable of formulating a rational thought cause that dog don't hunt. They must think I'm ignorant, stupid or both. My conclusion is that they just don't care. They made their money peddling subpar junk and will make more cause there are other gullible individuals just waiting to be taken advantage of. I can only hope they're a bit smarter than I am and use the darn thing so they can atleast take it back after discovering they acutally bought a "fast cooker". Afer a brief bout with elevated blood pressure, veins popping out my forehead and heart pounding like a jack hammer, it dawned on me I was the only one upset and at risk for a cardiac. Most if not all situations come to a critical decision point and sometimes you just have to cut your losses and let it go. I'm not pleased about what happened but I'm no longer angry. My vitals are normal and hopefully my comments will save someone a few dollars in the future.

"SO-SO!" 2010-04-19
By Carolyn J. Taley (Lancaster, Ohio)
I have not had any problem with cooking anything in this crockpot and have had no problems with burning anything. The sides do get warmer than other crockpots I am used to. My BIGGEST problem is with the cheap plastic on the lid! My front handle broke and parts fell in the food the third time I used it and now after about 15 uses, the back hinge fell to pieces also into the food! I was going to purchase a replacement lid, but with the cost plus shipping, I could almost buy another brand of crockpot! And also it sounds like from the other reviewers that the new lid will break also! VERY DISAPPOINTING!!!

"BOO!" 2010-03-07
By Jamie (Queen Ceek, AZ USA)
My review is going to echo everybody elses, but I thought it was still important because of the lack of safety. The outside of the crock pot gets very hot, even when it is filled halfway like the instructions state. Also, the hinged lid broke a few months after we bought it, the screw ended up in our food. I am just glad I spotted it before giving to my son, it could have become a choking hazard! I don't recommend this model and if I could have given it a lower rating I would have.

"No cooking time options!" 2010-01-14
By AFS (NY, NY)
I bought this crockpot desparately needing a way to cook dinner and have it on the table within 30 mintutes of my getting home from work.

I have tried several recipes and while they were all edible, they were also somewhat dry, and sometimes burned. Part of the problem is the size. In order to fill it halfway, I need to cook enough food for 5 people instead of the 2 we have in our house! The other problem is the timing options! Only 2 time options for both the low and high settings. So... what exactly do you choose when a recipe says to cook it on low for 4 hours (and your only options are 6 and 8)???!!!

I think it is a decent slow cooker, it overcooks food because you don't have options to cook it for less time and because since it is so big, if you want to cook food for 2 people, it won't fill the pot enough.

***I am editing this review after purchasing a smaller (3.5 qt) crockpot. Most of the issues I mentioned above were due to the size of the slow cooker. I was cooking for 2 people in a crockpot meant to cook for 5-6 people. However, that being said, you stil only have 2 heat setting choices, and 2 time setting choices per heat setting. My new 3.5 qt crockpot lets ME decide how long to cook it for... and had 3 heat settings: high, low and simmer... MUCH more user friendly.***

"The outside gets very, very hot" 2009-12-29
By Betty Crocker II (Austin, TX)
I agree with the review about the outside of the crock pot getting very, very hot. In fact, it gets too hot during the cooking process to touch. I don't feel very comfortable with leaving my house with it on for fear it might catch on fire. I also use a glass cutting board underneath it to defer the heat. I am trying to get a hold of Rival to find out if this is normal. My old one didn't do that at all. I like the size, 5 quarts and the fact that the pot is separate for easy cleaing; but the heat factor is of great concern to me.

"works, sometimes....." 2009-09-21
By M. Paul (Indianapolis, IN United States)
old crock pot burned out and have been using this one for about a year - gets either too hot or not hot enough, inconsistent. also gets hotter on the low setting and internal wires seem to be crossed - plan to replace with a different brand soon as our potato soup this evening was not cooked after 2 hours of cooking

"Perfect size for a family of four" 2008-09-16
By M.M (USA)
I was looking for a slow cooker that would accommodate a family of four I was not sure a 5 quart would be large enough but it turns out it was plenty large enough and with some leftovers. I selected the stainless steel model because it is rust and stain resistant. Some of the reviews were saying that the cooker gets too hot I didn't notice that it seems to cook just fine at perfect temperatures I like the fact that the pot comes out of the cooker and you can move it to the table or to the refrigerator after it cools. Great price and good quality

"Love this crock pot" 2010-02-11
By Carmen J. Nazario (Sunny Florida)
My mother in law bought me this crock put 6 or 7 years ago. I use it weekly to this day and have zero complaints. Last Christmas my husband bought me a new programable Hamilton Beach one which I also love but I still kept this one. It is great to be able to have dinner and dessert going at the same time. Today I am making a whole chicken, for the shredded chicken and the stock in this one and fish chowder for dinner in the other. Yes, I am a true crock pot addict. :)

"Pretty Pot" 2006-01-06
By K. D. Ryan (rural New Hampshire)
I was thrilled to receive this from my thoughtful 90 year old mother-in-law for Christmas. Green is my kitchen color and the clear lid enables checking on the cooking process without removing the lid. I also like that it is oval and more horizontal than vertical. My old crock pot was top heavy and often tipped in the car if not secured. I put it to use immediately. Unfortunately, although used according to directions, the liner developed a hairline crack after the first use. I called Rival and they instructed me to return it to the store as defective. Well, not wanting to upset my mother-in-law and create a commotion, that may be tricky to do...I wish they had been more responsive. After all, they sold their product. Now it is at my inconvenience to make it right. They should have sent a new liner.

"NOT a "slow cooker"" 2010-10-14
By Linda J. Smith (Indian Rocks Beach, Florida)
I've used different slow cookers/crockpots for over 30 years, and this cooker is definitely NOT within that definition. Even full, with 2 & 1/2 hours the contents are boiling. Not just bubbling, but a full surface-breaking boil. As others have noted, that certainly defeats the purpose. One reviewer suggested cooking on the warm setting, but without actually testing the temperature of the contents during the cooking process, you must be cautious of cooking at too low of at temperature for fear of bacterial counts.

"Should have read the reviews here first!" 2010-05-17
By H. Laack
I was scheduled to teach a community education class on summer slow cooker use. To do the demos, I needed an extra pot so bought this particular model on sale. I made one quick recipe on HIGH--results after a couple of hours were fine--and then off to class where this would be used to put ingredients in as I assembled another batch.

I reminded everyone to be sure to check out new cookers while at home, just in case there are problems--should have followed my own advice a little more closely!

Back home after class, I turned the pot of barbecued beans I had assembled to LOW. Within less than 6 hours (for a recipe that should have taken at least 8 to 10 hours to cook), the beans were beginning to burn around the edges. HIGH might be as expected, but LOW was anything but...but then that's what a whole lot of reviewers of the current Crock-Pots could have told me!

So back this goes...and next time I'll do the research by reading the Amazon reviews, even if I don't have time to order the items on line.

"Don't buy this!" 2010-03-26
By Petrinapearls
I have used crock pots for years with great success. My son bought me this one as a gift and it certainly looked attractive. The problem with this one is that the heat regulator is not working. It is on full blast high or nothing at all. The low setting just does not work. It gets extremely hot on the outside, burning hot! The food burns if left all day ( or all night). You pretty much have to stand over it. This is not safe to be left to cook when you are not home. I have just burned my last meal in this one. Out in the trash it goes!

"Temp is off but gets the job done" 2010-03-11
By Skylar
I received this Crock Pot for a wedding shower gift about a year ago. I have never owned a crock pot before and have only used this one about 4-5 times since I got it. Mine was purchased from Target and let me say everyone else is right about it running hot. Every recipe I've made has cooked in half the time. I was starting to think it was just mine until I read these reviews on Amazon. Sometimes I don't mind it cooking faster on low than the recipe states, but it's hard to predict how long it will take since I can't go by the recipe alone. One time I tried to do a roast while I was at work and by the time I got home the bottom was scorching. I am a little disappointed that I can't use it for cooking all day while at work, but overall it works well for sundays when I am going to be at home. As long as you will be there to watch it, I find it won't burn food. So for a cheaper model it gets the job done, but if I ever buy another one I will go with a different brand than Rival.

"Pretty decent for the money" 2009-11-10
By Michael J Edelman (Huntington Woods, MI USA)
It's hard to complain when you can get a complete 4-quart slow cooker with a removable ceramic pot this cheap- but...

I bought mine at a local discount store on a whim two weeks ago, and since then I've used it to make soups, beans, pulled pork, and post roast. I'd put the ingredients in before going to bed, and the next morning- done. So far, so good.

But when I did the pot roast, I noticed that the braising liquid was actually boiling around the sides of the crock, even though the pot was set on LOW. That means it was over 212F, and that's not really ideal. Ideally you'd like the LOW setting to be around 180-200F, high enough to cook and keep bacteria from growing, but too low to boil. Higher than that, and you're driving moisture out of the roast or bird you're cooking.

I think I'll probably keep it, though. For the price, you can't get anything halfway as good. When I want solid temperature control, I'll bite the bullet, and spend $60-70.

UPDATE: After using this cooker for a few more weeks, I've discovered that either the temperature regulation has improved, or it just does a better job of regulation with thinner soups and stews. When cooking soups at the LOW setting, I never see the liquid reach the boiling point.

I've also discovered it's great for budget "sous vide" cooking for the adventurous home cook. Pack your fish or meat or vegetables in a vacuum sealed bag, fill the cooker with water, and set to LOW. 10-20 minutes (depending on the thickness of the fish) delivers perfect moist, easily flaked fish. (n.b: This works especially well with oily fish like tuna, mackerel or salmon.)

""Crock-pot" is terrible..." 2010-10-18
By D. Rush (Austin, TX)
I bought this on the strength of an old crock-pot I had. This old crock-pot was still functioning when I got rid of it - I wanted something that was much easier to clean. So I bought this.

This is one of the worst purchases I've ever made. It cooks half-way decently, but the lid is made of lightweight plastic that allows steam to escape. This steam collects and eventually spills onto the counter - regardless of how much liquid is actually in the Crock-pot. Some of this liquid seeps into the area between the stoneware and the heating element, leaving massive stains on the heating element that can be easy or hard to remove depending on what you're cooking.

If you contact them about this problem, you're told that this is a design "feature". Supposedly without this, pressure could build up and cause some sort of problem if water doesn't leak all over your counter. Nevermind that other brands don't have this "feature" and that the old Crock-pots had glass lids that were heavier than the rest of the crock-pot. No matter what I said, they told me that they wouldn't help, despite my crock-pot still being under warranty. They told me that I should just clean the heating element each time if having cooked on liquid bothers me. Of course the whole reason I bought a crock-pot was to ease the hassle of cleaning it. It is infuriating that they basically refuse to accept that the crock-pot design in defective and that they are completely unwilling to do anything even when under warranty.

I'll never buy a Crock-pot again - the Hamilton Beach slow cookers seem to have excellent reviews and I'll bet they didn't "design" their slow cooker to leave a mess all over my counter.

"I've charred my last roast!" 2010-09-24
By Anna Burt (Seabrook, TX United States)
I hate this cooker. I have it a little over a year. The lid rattles during cooking. It also spits hot fluid all over the counter. The handles and exterior get very hot! The low setting is quite high and I've burned more things than I care to remember. I've done all I can think of to adjust liquid levels and cooking times. Well, I've come home to find a charred roast for the last time. It's going in the trash!

"The nicest slow cooker we have had so far" 2010-06-08
By Doug A. Moller
We bought this crock-pot(ours is 7 quart) at sams club 4 50$. We just used it last night and it worked great so far. We did have a low cooker my wife bought me for Christmas from the expensive mall place and it had an aluminum pot with non stick coating on it which started to bubble up at about 6 months when the bubbles burst had to throw it away.

"Slow Cooking Gem" 2010-05-15

My wife and I receive a 5 quart slow cooker from Crock-Pot over ten years ago as a wedding gift. We used it very frequently and was very pleased with it. We recently upgraded to this model, the designer series 6 quart. It is worth the extra money. It will pay off in the long run. There are virtually thousands of recipes that you can use to throw together a dining bonanza via the Crock-Pot. The digital interface also allows some versitility on cooking preferences. It will switch to warm automatically. Get it.

"cook whose? Goose?" 2010-10-14
By Better Properties Solutions (New England USA)
The Hamilton Beach unit is bulky and as described before by others--a real pain when trying to clamp down the glass lid.Hamilton Beach consulted with the United Torturers Association before designing this slow cooker's lid and -- mangled,burned fingers are the result!!No bird Brain management ever tried this out before marketing it!! Proof is --it is no longer produced this way in other models!

Also --this is a BIG BIG cooker-HAS - HAS- TO BE FILLED ALMOST TO THE TOP FOR IT TO WORK!THAT MEANS---small meals can not be done!!THIS MODEL IS NOT FOR 1,2, OR 3 PEOPLE unless you eat big time meals!!!Result --sold for 1/2 the price in the paper,the people who bought it have a LARGE FAMILY!

The programing--? Ha! You can do the same with a basic dial cooker , there is no benefit to the "programing" None!!Its a cheap Cheap Digital- Cheap unit as in Cheap!!If you did not recognize the above --read this-- you will be better off with a plain old dial unit!

There is no benefit to the digital cooker!!If you have a large family , or love fat city,this slow cooker will perform well. If you have 2 or less people --not recommended as this is a big big goose cooker!!

"mis-representation of temp probe and warm setting" 2010-09-19
By truth_liberator
Ok, so I should have looked at Amazon and the ratings before this product ever entered our home.

However, that won't stop me from helping others, who read these reviews, from being duped by slow cooker companies' empty rhetoric.

Allow me to quantify a problem with this cooker:

You can set the probe to a low temperature of 140 and that is good. HOWEVER, this cooker's "Warm" setting runs at a temperature of 180 (I tested mine this morning, after ruining a nice cut of slow cooker meat).

Here is the reason why some of us have posted that these cookers are cooking too hot: Meat proteins, which contain moisture, start to shrink at a temperature of 140-150 (see "On Food and Cooking", Harold McGee, page 163, 2004) and causes the meat to start drying out.

You CANNOT set and forget! If the cooker's temperature is 180 on the warm setting, then whatever you put in the cooker will come up to a temperature of 180, at some point in time--REGARDLESS OF WHAT YOU SET THE PROBE AT.

This means that you cannot braise tough meats. Why? Because, tough meats require low and slow cooking to avoid drying out the meat while melting the tough connective tissue which make the meat unpleasant to consume. While I have not checked the cooker's temperature on the low setting, braising tough meat should be done around 160-180. I remain confident that if the warm setting is 180, then the low setting can only be hotter.

Now, I can fully understand that companies are covering their rear-ends because of safe cooking practices; however, 180 degrees is excessively safe (even ground beef is beyond well done at 180).

The truth to this is that you cannot use this slow cooker as a set and forget with meats. If you are using it with meats, then timing becomes critical or over-done-ness will ensue. If your meat sits at the warm setting for any serious duration, you will come to learn that your meat is a dry well done, not done well. Furthermore, tough meats will remain a severe challenge because the temperatures are too hot too fast to strike a pleasant eating experience.

Good luck with your slow cooking endeavors!

"Hamilton Beach" 2010-09-12
By Sheri Yang
We have been developing better techniques for using a slow cooker and the results have been much better. I always put meat and onions on the bottom since they are more durable in the cooking process and wont liquify. Peppers need to be added towards the end of the process or they can disolve. It has changed my way of cooking, and although we have used slow cookers before,this one is far better timing wise and for ease of use. I highly recomend this product !! We have been using this cooker for quite a while now and it continues to work well, and we are very satisfied with the results of the receipies we tried. We have used it for a large variety of foods.

"Mostly excellent, good customer service." 2010-09-05
By WK
Overall, I am very pleased with this slow cooker.

I bought it back in January; after about a week of use (including proper care), the crock cracked. I called Hamilton Beach, and explained what happened -- they were very polite, sent me a replacement crock pretty quickly. The initial defective crock is the primary reason for giving it a 4-star instead of a 5-star rating, but the good customer service made it far less of a hassle than it could have been.

Since then, I've been very happy with it. The settings are a bit warmer than old-fashioned crockpots, but that's par for the course with any newer model. I just make sure to keep it at least 2/3 full and occasionally knock off an hour or so of cooking time. The outside of the unit itself does get a bit hot, but the bottom doesn't get too warm, and it hasn't ever caused any problems.

The programmability is extremely useful; it does keep cooking a bit on the "keep warm" setting, but I just adjust the cooking time a bit to compensate and it works out fine. The handles are also great -- it's pretty easy to transport, and I've brought it to several potlucks.

The size is probably best for a small family. I live alone, and a smaller size probably would have been better for me, but I have a large freezer and don't mind eating leftovers all week, so it's working out fine.

Overall: the features are excellent, it works how it's supposed to, and is 100% worth the price. I would definitely recommend this product.

"Does what it says" 2010-09-02
By LilPea (Dallas, TX)
I received this as a gift. The first one that was sent, the digitized panel wasn't properly on. I have no idea how to describe it except that it looked like it was popping off and not screwed down properly. So I sent it back and debated if I should return it for the exact same slow cooker, or try a different one.

I decided to stick with the same one and the second slow cooker arrived in perfect condition. I choose to get the same slow cooker because of the warming function, since I won't arrive home when all recipes are "done".

Overall I like it. It's a little bit large (takes up a bit of counter space AND it holds a lot) and so not all slow cooking recipes are suited for it. However it's easy to clean, use, set up, and cook in. I have not had trouble with the timer turning off before it was done cooking (so far I've used it twice, both times while at home just to be sure after I read some other reviews). I also have not tried the probe mechanism thingee.

I would rate this as decent, it does the job it's meant to do well. The temp seems fine and the warming function is something I forsee being of great benefit once I start using this thing a bit more.

Should my opinion change, I'll update this post. Otherwise, I give it 4 stars.

"Burns everything on low setting!" 2010-08-25
By Mary E. Lewis (New York, NY)
I think the fastest way to boil a pot of water in my household is with this crockpot. For some reason the "low" setting is actually very hot and food is cooked to temperature within about 2 hours. I do not recommend this item and would not purchase it again. Very disappointed. I wanted a slow cooker and this does not do the job.

"Don't buy Rival Crock Pots!" 2010-07-21
By meljoy
I had my Rival Crock Pot for only 5 years. The handle on the lid broke because where the screw goes in, the plastic had melted. When I tried to contact customer service to get a new lid, they told me the only thing I could do was buy a whole new unit. Thanks for nothing Rival! I will NOT buy your products again!

"Flimsy knob makes for errors in temp setting" 2010-07-13
By The Pab 4 (Virginia, USA)
Worked great until...

One day turned the knob to low and came home to cold raw chicken. Somehow the unit inside didn't go to low but instead went off (even though unit plugged in and the little knob pointed to low). So irked that I'm tossing it. Not risking wasting anymore food if the little knob is that flimsy and unreliable.

"Way too hot!!!" 2010-06-23
By J. Ruhl Frank (Cary, NC)
I bought this a couple years ago for $12 at a Black Friday sale at Lowes. I thought it seemed like a good deal, well you get what you pay for I guess! You cannot put any meat in this and set it to low for all day cooking, if you do you will get something that resembles shoe leather! It is just too darn hot! I am going to try cooking on the warm setting, if that doesn't work this thing is going into the dumpster!

"Burns Everything!" 2010-06-10
By AmeliaJade (APO, AP United States)
I HATE this crockpot. I'm a crockpot junkie. I have a ton of tried and true recipes that my family loves. We live in the desert so we use the crockpot nearly all summer to avoid standing over a hot stove. We recently moved and my crockpot broke. So, I found this one. It is terrible. It cooks way too fast. I'm used to getting something started early in the morning and eating later in the day. That is the entire point, right? Apprently not anymore. Recipes that are supposed to take hours are taking one. I tried to make cornbread in the crockpot. This is something I've done before. 3.5 hours and it is perfect. I didn't even have this crockpot on for an hour and suddenly I could smell burning cornbread! It doesn't matter which setting you use. Even the warm setting will keep things boiling. Unless I stay close by, this crockpot ruins everything I've tried. Having to stand there babysitting the meal defeats the entire purpose of a crockpot. There is no way I'd feel safe leaving the house with this thing on. I completely regret I picked this model.

"Crock-Pot 5025WG 2.5-Quart Slow Cooker" 2010-10-01
By E. Simpson (California)
I have two other crock pots both larger. I needed something smaller as there are only two in the family now. Used it when it came and using more than the large.

excellent little cooker.

"A little annoying" 2010-08-31
By CS Kirk (Franklin, TN United States)
I would NOT buy this crockpot again. I tend to go for inexpensive stuff. And this is definitely an inexpensive model. But I would pay more for a different model, if I could do it over again.

It has two settings. The lower setting is too high. You can't just let something simmer a long time. It just boils instead.

And it makes a mess. The lid sits down inside a lip that runs around the edge of the stoneware pot, as it should. But the lip is not high enough or something, because after the food starts to boil, liquid comes out a lot, runs down the sides of the pot, and gets all over the counter. And the surface tension of the liquid causes it to adhere to the lip and so it circles around the lip and then actually goes down inside the metal part of the pot. Then the stoneware parts sticks, and the liquid whatever burns and gets stuck to the inside.

And it does not cook evenly. The food on the bottom of one side of the pot often burns and sticks to the pot, even on low setting.

Dissatisfied. I've used it maybe 6 weeks.

"2 1/2 crock pot" 2010-08-30
By B.F. (Channelview, TX United States)
This 2 1/2 qt crock is a great size for smaller quantities. I have a 5qt that I use frequently but wanted something smaller. It was difficult to decide between the 1 1/2 and 2 1/2 but I am pleased with the 2 1/2. It will certainly cook sauces and fondue but it will cook four large boned chicken breasts or soup for four. I cooked a small beef roast with onions and carrots and it was great. My other crockpot is "auto". This Crock is off-low-high. It has not been a problem. The high will have spagetti sauce bubbling in about 1 1/2 hrs. Clean up is easy and the unit feels solid including the switch. The lid fits good with a stainless rim edge. I have had the unit about three weeks and I am going to buy one for my 92 yr old live-alone father-in-law!

"Nice size for smaller family and works great" 2010-08-11
By V. Wright (North Carolina)
I've had this crock pot for a little over a year ( a year and 4 months, to be exact ) and have found it to be a great purchase for me. Perfect size for a medium sized roast and veggies, but works better as to capacity for a couple, or a single person who wants to have a few extra bowls over to freeze for later use. However, this size would probably not be large enough for those households with several children or someone cooking for church events, etc. or very large family gatherings as it's size is more medium.

Roasts come out very tender and still juicy in this crockpot, even cheaper cuts like beef bottom round or butt roast. Higher end meats and other very lean cuts like London Broil come out very tender, as well, but may require the addition of some vegetables for the steam effect since lean cuts don't have the necessary fat to keep them juicy for long slow cook times. I just put whole baby carrots, a sliced Vidalia onion, a few small potatoes cut in half or quartered if larger, some salt, pepper, and a tiny bit of garlic into the bottom of the crock pot and a medium beef roast ( all sides lightly browned in a very hot fry pan first, to seal in juices ) sitting on top. I start the crock pot on high setting for 30 minutes and then turn it down to low for the rest of cooking and follow the correct time per pound of meat. If you want a sauce you can add a half or whole can of cream of mushroom soup or a half each of cream of mushroom and cream of celery soup to the bottom over the veggies. If preferred a roux of the meat juices and flour can be well beaten and then added to the pot instead at the near end of cook time.

Pork roasts come out very nice as well and are perfect for pulled pork ( with southern style barbecue sauce ) sandwiches. Chicken and dumplings work well in this unit and come out juicy and delicious if mostly thighs and darker meat are used. Breasts cooked alone in any crockpot aren't ideal as they don't come out as tender as baked or deep fried, so are not recommended, and may come out dry and grainy, although mixed with darker meat to enable some juice to cover them is okay. Mostly I use beef roasts in my crockpot and just change up the sauce for variety. You can make a cream sauce of frozen baby peas, tiny diced bits of carrot, and fresh mushrooms with some spices of choice ( I like cilantro, garlic, and paprika ) and add them to the roast for a change of pace.

This little Rival crockpot works great and offers easy cleanup, although a few foods sometimes do stick to the removeable stoneware pot, but a a brief soak in hot soapy dish water, and a little light rubbing with a non-abrasive scrubber sponge brings them off nicely. All in all, a very good and quite satisfactory purchase, especially considering the low price of this model. Highly recommended.

"Perfect Size....Free Bundled Shipping..." 2010-07-03
By Ambergris (New England.....USA)
Although I realize that for all practical purposes the crock pot was probably invented by someone that works all day, as someone that works from home I can testify that it is a great invention for us as well. If there is anything better than coming home after a days work to something smelling delicious, it is being home all day and savoring every hour of it. Crockpot meals have gone from something I occasionally did for something different, to at least a 3 day a week event. Especially in fall and winter. Most crock pots come in a standard family size design of around 4 to 6 quarts or more. One can get away with making a small meal in a large crock, but its just that much more room that it takes up, as well as that to be cleaned. Several small crock pots of 1 1/2 quart capacity are available here on Amazon. As someone that lives alone but with frequent house guests, the small ones just don't have enough leeway in their size to accommodate the various meal sizes. This Rival 2/ 1/2 quart crock pot is the perfect size for single folks that enjoy leftovers, and perfect for couples. I personally like its more stand up design as opposed to the oval shape can take up a little more room in tight kitchens, and like in all crock pots these days the liner is fully removable for easy cleaning. The selector has the standard high, low, and off settings, (but no "warm").

As for this crock pots performance, I have to say that I have not experienced any of the other problems whatsoever mentioned in a couple of other reviews. The liner on mine stays very loose and is very easily removed either when hot or cold, and after almost a year of use I have never had a meal that was cooked too fast. I will admit that I am home with mine in most cases and don't have to concern myself all that much with accurate cooking times. But at the same time I usually make up a meal for this cooker in the morning and just load and forget it in the vast majority of cases. One thing that has to be kept in mind with any small crock pot is that most slow cooker recipes are based on 4 to 6 servings for a family. And the cooking times are based on the larger size. Whether its this or any other small cooker, one must remember to adjust the cooking time accordingly for its smaller size. It may take a little getting used to if you are familiar with a larger pot in past years, but take my word that any meal in this pot has required at least a 4 hour minimum cooking time. Most of my meals easily stay well within the range of perfectly cooked up to 6 hours or more. (If you truly need longer cooking times, I would suggest you forget about a small one and move up to at least a 4 quart cooker). And once you're used to its temperature, I think it cooks wonderful meals. I would go as far as to say that of all the cookers I have had over the years, this cooker is not only the perfect size, but also cooks the best out of all of them. Personally I think its pure white finish is very handsome and the cooker itself is a top performer. I am very satisfied with mine, and you can get this cooker with free shipping when bundled. A good deal and an excellent cooker that is just the right size for couples. Recommended...

"Way too hot even on low" 2010-10-19
By Carol Vance and Don Vance (East Peoria, IL, US)
We have tried to cook with this pot for several years and have had horrible results. It is too hot and boils\burns the food even on the low setting. The knob on the lid got too hot and broke after just two months of use. Look at all of the other ratings and you will be convinced that this is not the slow cooker to buy. Time for me to pitch this piece of junk and buy a new one that operates as a slow cooker, not a deep fryer.

"Great, except the handle on the lid" 2010-10-14
By Jaclyn Cole (Brooklyn, NY)
After light use, the plastic became so brittle it snapped the handle right off. What a bummer. To replace it is $18 for a whole new lid, when in theory you only need the handle. I am going to stick it out and use tongs to remove the lid as needed since you aren't supposed to peek a lot during cooking anyways and the glass is fine (not broken). I find it to be a great kitchen accessory, and LOVE the auto shut off feature. It gives me peace of mind in case I get stuck away from the house!

"Runs too hot-BURNS!!" 2010-10-14
By Jeannie
I've had the crock pot for several years, and now all of a sudden, it's burning my food, even on low! The thing is getting way hotter than it ever did in the past. I've googled it and it seems to be happening a lot so I will be investing in a different brand. For me, the whole point of cooking in the crock pot is that you can't overcook it!

"This is NOT A RIVAL product" 2010-10-13
By A. Kline (Buckeye State)
I purchased this product believing it was a RIVAL (as pictured & as I narrowed my search for Rival products) since RIVAL is made in the U.S.A. Unfortunately this is a Sunbeam, made in China. I did not figure this would get the economy rolling again here in the States so I promptly returned it!

"Ouch - Blistered burnt thumb from the cover handle melting off!" 2010-10-10
By pegec
I'm actually on my 2nd of this model. After a few uses, the first one would just shut off after a couple hours. That makes for a very unpleasant surprise when arriving home from work expecting dinner. Costco was good to take that one back and I got another of the same model. This one has been fine, but recently, I've noticed that it is getting progressively hotter. To the point that I'm not confident leaving it unattended. I agree with other posters that it is much too hot on any setting and I have been slow cooking for 30 years. This evening I was lifting the lid off the pot to serve dinner and the handle came right off the cover and I burned my hand in the process of trying to juggle the cover. The plastic on the handle is actually melted! Could that be a result of the pot getting to hot?? This one is going back to Costco too, but I'll be shopping around for a better replacement.

"Couldn't live without my slow cooker" 2010-09-08

We've had this slow cooker for 3+ years and use it often - few times each week, year round. I have not one complaint. In fact, I'm shocked by the comments here since we are truly in love with ours. The quality seems very durable, it's easy to clean as long as we don't forget it and leave it out overnight (learned that the hard way but still got it clean!), and large enough for our family of four to have leftovers.

"Low quality." 2010-09-04
By Lillian Gillies (CA USA)
I like the removable ceramic insert,and the little dipper is great for fondue, etc. However, this lasted for only 8 uses. The ninth time I tried to use it, I had it on high for over 3 hours and the stock I was trying to make was barely warm. It no longer gets hot enough to cook food.

"Vendor decieving" 2010-08-22
By dora
The crock-pot itself is GREAT! However, the vendor "ohio_dealz" did not send me a crock-pot with a hinge. Though, they did let me keep the crock-pot for free.

This is the e-mail they sent me: "I have just refunded your order. You can keep the pot. I will really appreciate it if you can leave me a positive feed back, with: "Arrived on Time" YES, "Item as Described" YES, and YES for "Customer Service"."

I don't lie and purchased from this vendor because of all of the great reviews. Are they really great?

"HORRENDOUS!!" 2010-02-27
By tabarb (honey Brook, PA)
This is the worst crock pot I have ever owned! It boils even on LOW! Upon contacting Rival it was my fault; so I then explained in detail how it burns everything, even using their OWN recipes; should not be left alone while at work, etc. They sent me a condesending letter about how it meets all the federal regulations and labels. One thing they pointed out that I was unaware of - High on their cooker is 350 degrees. I don't know what kind of cooks they have working there but 350 degrees is a regular oven temperature NOT SLOW COOKING!

"Trying To Like It" 2008-11-26
By NuJoi (Chicago, IL United States)
This is the December 6, 2005 review I wrote for the SSC658 model:

I got my Crock Pot the day after Thanksgiving for $30 and it came with a bonus divided insert. I was so excited because I'd found out earlier in the week that Rival recalled the one I had been using.

I must confess that I didn't read the reviews before purchase. I needed a new one, there was a sale ... how could I go wrong? Well, you get what you pay for. I'll start with the bad first. As almost every other reviwer has stated, this thing runs hot. I have made seafood gumbo, braised chicken and green beans. Each time I come back home to find it practically boiling on the "keep warm" setting. Each item was cooked on low. I contacted Rival's customer service and they said there have been no compliants on this model! They suggested I exchange mine at the place of purchase. Rival would take care of any problems after 90 days. I was leafing through Not Your Mother's Slow Cooker Cookbook last night and I saw that the author did not that oval pots cook faster due to more surface area than rounds.

This product does have two great features -- it's large size and the countdown timer. I purchased a separate Smart Pot unit to convert my old pot to a Smart Pot. I was disappoined in that you had no flexibility with the time four or six hours on high or eight or 10 hours on low. The countdown timer on this model allows you to set the time on any of the three temperatures in 30-minute increments.

To be fair, I have not made an actual Crock Pot recipe to test the product's cooking time against the recipe's time. I will try that this weekend and update my review. For $30, I think I can make this work. I wish my experiences were as great as they were with earlier models.

"Not all models are created equal, I guess" 2008-08-16
By Happy Buyer (Houma, LA USA)
It is understandable that some of the reviewers are upset with their Rival Crock-Pots, and I wouldn't have a way of knowing if their claims are true or false. Unfortunately, this thread of reviews seems to lump together all sorts of different Rival models, with differing sizes and features. My review is for model number 5855C. I have used it and I have absolutely no problems with it. It has not "cracked"; it does not boil the food. To be honest, it does exactly what I would expect from a Crock-Pot: It cooks efficiently, with the added benefit of having a programmable digital timer. I did not pay upwards of 100 bucks for this, either. I found it, brand-new, in the box, at Tuesday Morning for $25. One thing to consider is that larger Crock-Pots are meant to be used when cooking larger meals. Makes sense, right?

"Handy Features" 2008-06-11
By Dan Hammonds (Greeneville, TN)
We have cooked with this twice now and it has proven itself worth of purchasing. The timer with the automatic feature is great because my wife and I both work and it doesn't overcook before we get home but automatically goes to warm when the preset cook time has run out. I actually ate BBQ out of it last night (Pretty Tasty). The oval shape is convenient for roasts as well. We have a limited time with the product but have been very pleased thus far.

"The best Crock-Pot cookbook ever!" 2007-10-19
By K. Winslow (Peekskill, NY United States)
If you can only get 1 cookbook for your crock-pot, this is the one!

It has a great variety of recipes, and every one I have tried has received rave reviews.

The beef short ribs appetizer, the hot crab dip, the pork tenderloin w/cranberries & mustard, etc., are all wonderful, and I have made them multiple times.

I cannot wait to use my crock-pot even more frequently during the winter, as it makes cooking so easy!

"Love, love, love it!" 2010-08-22
By L. E. Shaw (Maine, for the moment.)
I have had this slow cooker for a good long time now and am asking my mother for another one for my birthday this month! I love the keep warm feature and even reheat food in it on this setting (yes, it says not to but I know what it can do!).

I have tried other brands including the ''famous'' Crock Pot brand thinking that if I paid more, I'd get more. NOT so!! My mother adopted my old Rival slow cooker that was given to me at 23, I am now nearly 47 and it is still going strong. I have been using slow cookers for what feels like 100 years and have found no better than this. I have also used the crock in the oven with great success though not often as the point of a slow cooker is to use it as a slow cooker and save my electric bill from the evil oven. ;=). I bake in this, stew, braise, make steel cut oats for a ready made breakfast when I get up and a thousand other things. It also makes my baked beans to perfection!

As to the negative reviews, all ''crocks'' are susceptible to cracking though that has never happened to me with any brand at any time. Also, when a slow cooker is new it does indeed cook hotter than you'd think so you need to adjust your time accordingly. No Rival slow cooker, including this one, has ever failed me. I am known and lauded for the delicious dishes that emerge from this. This slow cooker is one excellent investment should you know your way around slow cooking and slow cookers.

"Excellent product" 2010-08-04
By E. Yost
I have experienced nothing but success with this Crock Pot. Please ignore the negative reviews. It's an excellent investment.

"Very pleased with purchase!!" 2010-04-26
By jjmmcatwoman (United States)
I was hesitant in purchasing this item after reading the negative review, but I decided to go ahead and order it. Everyone knows you can get a lemon in any product you purchase. I love this crock pot. I've not had any problems with it. It's one of the prettiest I've ever seen and I've had a lot of compliments on it. It cooks the way it is suppose to. The one feature I like about it is you can keep food warm in it. None of my other crock pots have that feature. I can't say anything negative about it.

"Lovely to look at BUT worthless to buy" 2009-11-07
By Suz484 (MO)
First of all we bought this crockpot for its looks ... not always a good thing to do. I've had it for about 3 years and since we don't usually have need to use it a great deal I would say it's probably been used about a dozen or so times since we've owned it. Problems: the low setting cooks way too high but that wasn't much of a problem since I'm usually home when I use it; the warm setting does basically nothing so I pretty much ignored that feature right off the bat. Now for the biggie: it's our fault that we didn't notice it when we purchased the crockpot but there must have been a hairline crack on the outside that developed into a major crack. We can see where it probably had started on the bottom of the crock. I have learned since reading other reviews on this style of crock that this is a major flaw in the manufacturing as others have had the same problem.

Now for the irritating part: try calling this crazy company to see if a replacement crock can be purchased. What a joke! We live in CST and the company is EST so for us to get home in time from our jobs to talk to anyone by 5:00 in the evening never happens ... SOooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo I used their email form on the website. Another joke! I gave all of the information needed and got a total run around about this number and that being needed before my questions could be answered. BUT they did tell me that the crockery was out of stock and "they didn't know when more would arrive" (that got my suspicions up, hmmmmmmmm) and they needed more numbers ... what numbers, I gave them everything written on the pot.

Bottom line: I miss the old Rival company ...

"3 Improvements" 2010-09-12
By coolreviewer1 (Fox Valley, Illinois USA)
By my owning, using and finding three improvements that Rival could make to this otherwise fine little pot, I may help someone determine if it's right for them:

#1 It gets hot. Depending where you touch it, really hot. The stainless steel can burn you. I have Jetboil camping stoves that cook with gas that have a neoprene sleeve that one holds to avoid getting burned. Rival, please add neoprene sleeve or other cool device to the cooker to allow better handling.

#2 The cord is, as others have said, short. It's hard to put it, thus, on a dining table to use as a dip and sauce warmer, unless you want a guest tripping over an extension cord. Hamilton Beach has a holiday crock 1.5 qt shaped like a pumpkin that is all ceramic, has a crock-type heating base, but ALSO a second metal base that requires no electric cord, but rather a tea candle! Tea candle (like a fondue) to keep it warm on the table. Ingenious!

#3 The lid is a rather chincy piece of black thin plastic. The pot being stainless steel is much better built than the lid. A slightly heavier lid, with rubber ring (like Hamilton Beach full size models) would be ideal--helps food stay warm, less seepage of heat around top/lid, and more fitting with the upscale look of the device.

"great for on the go" 2010-05-04
By S. Bruce (Oregon)
I use my little dipper for lunches of leftovers or chunky soup. For working out in the field it's my best buddy. Just use a DC to AC inverter in your truck and let it warm for 1 and 1/2 hours, and lunch is served on the go.

"Little dipper" 2010-03-18
By Phyllis E. Williams (Northbrook, Illinois United States)
This is exactly what I was looking for. It is to be used as a small pot for hot hide glue (it maintains a temp of 140 degrees, satisfactory for hide glue. It arrived promptly and is in mint condition, Thanks!

"Great little crockpot!" 2010-02-11
By Famous Amos
Perfect for one person. My husband takes it to work to warm up leftovers. I freeze soup in round 16 oz. (sour cream) containers. He pops a frozen chunk into the crockpot in the morning. It fits perfectly, and by lunch time he has nice, hot soup. The crock pot is small enough to tuck inside his lunch box. It may be helpful to know that this crock pot is not intended to cook in. There is only one heat setting: it's either "on" or "off". It does not become hot enough to cook raw meat, according to the instruction sheet. It makes food nice & hot, though. The design is also attractive.
