I'm disappointed in this slow cooker. It boils on both low and high settings and the result is dry lamb, dry pork and the one time i cooked beef it ended up burning it!!! I bought a cheaper, smaller one from Aldi and it is ace just not large enough.

Around 2 hours into the first ever use of my slowcooker I heard a loud pop and upon investigation found a hole in the metal and metal shards sprayed all over the base of the pot (see photos). I called smith and nobel and they weren't at all concerned and said I can take it back to where it was purchased from for a replacement. I was given this as a housewarming gift, so I can't return it as I don't have a receipt, but I was not impressed by how little smith and nobel seemed to care that their slow cooker had exploded

Love this slow cooker, I’ve made everything from roasts to stews to risottos to soups to desserts (FYI the risottos and desserts are generally better on the stove/oven). I’m really happy with it, the only improvement area would be the outer case is hard to clean.

This crockpot boils everything, even on low, surely it's supposed to cook slowly over the 8 hours and not boil the goodness out of the vegetables. I'm so disappointed after paying good money for it, money down the drain. I will be going back to my old one which is 15 years old and cooks slowly like they are supposed to. Wont be buying this brand again.

Great slow cooker. Does exactly what you need it to do. High/low and 'keep warm' setting. Easy to wash. Not too heavy. I've made lots of yummy dinners in it.
