Cannot live without this - love the searing feature and I liked it so much I bought a second one to roast vegies in while I slow roast the meat - I use it almost every day even to make desserts and cakes in - best appliance I have ever had

I wanted this due to the searing/browning option & doing it all in one dish. It's very easy to clean & it looks great on my kitchen bench. I have a Roast Leg of Lamb in my Breville 7ltr SC and I will be doing the Roast Vegetables in my SunBeam Smart Chef as it's the perfect size for them & I know that my families meal will be on time and perfectly cooked. Will add more to my review a few months down the track after I give it a good workout with cooking lots of different recipes

Sister in law and I both bought one and we txt each other daily on what we're making. Having the sear and browning modes are fantastic and choosing your own time length is good too. My creative juices are flowing again and my dishwasher remains empty as I do everything in the secret chef. For any recipes that dont have any greens etc I just pop them in an hr or so before times up on top of whats cooking. I've got my money's worth already.

This product is everything I had hoped. It cooks perfectly, and I love the digital display.
It is light to move or carry around, important for me as I have to take it to my parents occasionally to cook them dinner. Super easy to clean. Even my husband is impressed!

This is my 3rd replacement as the first was on high all the time, the second burnt the bottom where element is and the third is still way too fast. Not a slow cooker at all compared to the Breville I had before.
Easy to clean and the features are pretty good.

My daughter bought me this for Christmas and l love it.lhave gone mad cooking soup for all the family this winter.love the fact that you can sear and sautée in in slow cooker so no extra washing up . The controls are easy to understand and use and has a keep warm function. Doesn't take up much bench space either.good product.

Cooking with this is so easy. The food comes out tasty and rich tasting. Very easy to clean, nothing sticks even after 10-12 hrs cooking. Very easy to use, no kitchen should be without this. You can cook all kinds of meals including winter soups, casseroles and curries, stews etc.

Great product. Just leave it on before work and everything is ready after work. A ready warm and cosy dinner. No need to rush after work etc.

Works great. Minimal maintenance as only 3 items (lid, pot and electrical area!) Great time saver for dinner preparations.My first slow cooker, will not be my last.

This would be the best slow cooker I've had! I brought it 3 years ago and I'm forever cooking in it. It's great cooking I love the results out of it beautiful melt in your mouth roasts it's just amazing. It's easy to use you don't even have to read the booklet to understand it. If you ever forget that you want to slow cook for 8 hours there's another option to cook for 4 hours on medium which is just as good. It's very big so I can cook for 8 in it which is always helpful in special occasions! Very easy to clean and pack up. Definitely recommend! Would be good for students also.

Bought this to replace my 20 year old one. Bit disappointed as I find it cooks way too fast for a slow cooker. I have to decrease cooking time which doesn't make the meat as tender as my old one. Old one cooked a corned silverside perfectly in 8 hours- this one, 4 hours but tougher meat. I do however like the "keep warm" function.

First time using a slow cooker was quite frustrating. I used slow cooker recipes from online and from the given booklet, and cooked under their recommended settings and time, but my food was always undercooked and required another few hours or I'd finish cooking it in the oven. I'll keep practising with it but the results so far are not good. It is however easy to clean.

I had problems with a couple of cheaper slow cookers, so spent the money on this expensive Sunbeam model. Unfortunately even on the slowest setting - 8 hrs, it cooks everything in about 3-4 hours. After an hour or so everything is bubbling away inside, way too hot....very disappointed. I will have to look at a replacement, the old saying 'you get what you pay for' doesn't apply with this product.

I have had mine for a couple of years and love the way it cooks and the fact it is light and easy to carry. But I wouldn't buy another one I have replaced the bowl because the non stick surface was peeling off. Now the new one is doing the same thing. I am not going to purchase a third bowl.

i love this machine for cooking. love all of its functions HOWEVER i have owned this machine now for only owned this machine for 3.5mths and the non stick coating is lifting. when i bought this i was told if you only use silicone spoons in the machine the coating will be fine. i am so glad i bought a 3 year replacement waranty with this machine. going to where i bought it now for a replacement. apart from this issue i love making all kinds of food in this machine. also love how it turns right to keep warm after my set cooking time for those days you dont get home in time.

I am very happy with this slow cooker I bought last year. I use it as a Frypan and Slow Cooker, both. I usually switch to the Frypan mode to brown the meats and then switch back to Slow Cook mode. I also love its timer which shows how much time is left!.

Newly purchased especially for browning option. Keeps all the browning flavors in your casserole. Glass lid lets you keep and eye on cooking progress. Teflon coated bowl simply wipes clean. Easy to operate large digital display. Automatic keep warm function at end of cooking time is a great additional feature. Absolutely love it!

Have only used a handful of times so far, but have enjoyed using this slow cooker each time. Really easy to use, easy to clean. It doesn't look huge but easily makes a meal for at least 4-6 adults. Was well priced when i bought it, and that plus the positive reviews was my reason for purchasing - not disappointed.
