I have owned 2 of these crockpots and I love them. I only replace my first one because my son accidentally broke the crock. I love the fact that we can take meals to eat at church and I don't have to worry about it being all over the car when I arrive at my destination. I think the low heat setting is the best after the initial first hour on high. It is nice for a busy mother of 8 to have a little help in the kitchen and my crockpot has become that friend. Putting a meal into the crockpot at the start of my day and allowing me to control the rest of my day. Even when the unexpected arrises we still get a warm meal on the table whenever it is convenient for us or when my husband is a few minutes late--if the meal is in the crockpot is doesn't upset my schedule. The warm temperature is great to just keep the food warm when it is done before the supper hour. I do not use the heating bags in this crockpot and sometimes I think that would help with the clean up element which would be my only negitive. This is remedied with just a good soaking.
