Could definitely do better for the money
Pros:
Looks nice
Cons:
Outside gets dangerously hot, no seal on the lid, overcooks food
The Bottom Line:
I definitely wouldn't buy this. I just don't feel it's safe.

Author's Review
I asked my husband for a new slow cooker with a timer and "warm" setting for my birthday. This is what he brought me home. At first, I was very excited. My other one was 8 years old, and I just wanted an upgrade.
The look- Very sleek. Stainless steel is gorgeous.
The ease of use- This is very easy to figure out. I had no problems at all.
The function- The "warm" function is nice, but that is it for the niceties of this slow cooker. Everything goes downhill from there. First, like the other reviews, the outside of this thing gets very hot! Thank goodness one of my kids is old enough to know not to touch it, and the other isn't tall enough. This would easily burn your hand.
Also, this runs very hot! Even on the low setting. If I want to cook a BBQ chicken recipe that I want to last all day in there, I have to make sure the chicken goes in frozen, which tends to dry it out by the time we eat dinner. There is also the lid. It is glass and just sits on the top. It doesn't have a great seal at all, and I can see air escaping from the top. Very frustrating!
I will definitely be getting a new one soon.
