I cooked my first slow cooker meal every with this machine and it turned out perfectly. I did read the instructions being a newbie to slow cooker meal making, was easy to understand, machine easy to use and the dish came out perfect. The timer is easy to use and when finished it keeps the food warm and doesn't dry out. It also has a small footprint and fits easier on my small bench top or in the cupboard and looks amazing.
Timer, ability to control the cook and keep warm when finished.
Haven't found any issues yet.

I bought a Cuisinart slow cooker 4 years ago because of it's programmable function. Now the display is no longer working. It was an expensive purchase at the time -I was prepared to pay because I use a slow cooker frequently in winter. It is now out of warranty. I would not buy this brand again.

My display panel died after only a few uses which is part of the reason I bought this model. I left a stock to cook overnight, when I checked it the next morning the entire machine had died. Not worth the money. Just buy a cheap one, I don't believe there is any difference.
Nothing
Expensive and poor quality

I love my slow cooker
but only one thing. The little clock display turns on for a second then disappears preventing you knowing how long your putting it on for or how long it's been on for. No other faults
Love the size. Heats even. Outer case cool to touch. Safe
Every thing!
Little clock doesn't work any more preventing knowing how long it's on for.

I have gone through several slow cookers in my time but this one has definitely been the best. I have had no issues with it. Unlike other cheaper brands that I have had in the past, this one does not cook too quickly and at too high a temperature. Everything has worked out perfectly. If you are after a traditional slow cooker then this is the one. I love that it is programmable too.
It actually is a slow cooker and doesn't cook too quickly. Timer program is great too.
Would be better if there was a program option to start on high and then switch to low automatically after a certain amount of time.

I'd been looking for a new slow cooker since my old one refused to slow cook anymore. This unit is quite expensive but i picked it up on sale and it looks and is the real deal.Just put your ingredients into the cooker, press the timer button and the job is done. Want to vary the cooking time, just press the button. The 6.5 lt is big enough to tale a whole duck or a large slab of corned beef. I have had my fill of buying cheap kitchen gadgets and so i highly reccommend this unit - it does what it's supposed to incredibly well.
Great looks and easy to use
nothing

I have had two of these models. The first I took back because it wouldn't switch to warm mode at the end of the cooking time. The second one is doing the same. What am I doing wrong? I love the idea of leaving a meal to cook over the day but the results have been so dry that my family hates it!
Flavours of sauces are well developed
Food is dry

I looked for over 1 year for a good slow cooker using this site as a guide. So a bought the 4L programmable Cusinart Slow Cooker.... Its great... have used it 3 times in the last week and each meal is sooo yummy.... I would recommend the 4L to a small family - you pay a little extra but it is so worth it. No over cooking...
Lovely Design, easy Clean.

Very Good, though would like access to more basic recipes, as its hard to judge how long to cook something. Tried dumplings with the stew, but they were rubbery, so would like to know how long to do them.
Great if busy during the day, just fill and it cooks while you work !
Need to plan well ahead, as you have to brown meat before adding to pot.

We bought this because of the reviews and they were right. We have a family and that is why we bought the 6.5ltr. So far it is excellent. We have cooked a few things in it, but the Lamb shanks are to die for.

Excellent!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It is simple to use

Food cooked perfectly in suggested times, with all cookers you should always brown meat first, so that isn't confined to this brand. It has a programmable timer plus a "simmer" setting. Even though it is more expensive than others on the market it far out performs. I had one for 35 years, bought a Sunbeam last year and it was terrible.
