Pros: This crock pot is the finest one I've found. Kitchenaid stands behind their products.
Cons: Price and size.
Summary: I have been on the lookout for a crock pot/slow cooker for over 5 years now. I did without, rather than settling for an inferior model. I love the convenience of putting a meal together, turning my pot on and coming home to a cooked dinner awaiting me. ... read more

Pros: The exterior can't be destroyed even by small nuclear weapons.
Cons: Not issuing a recall is dispicable. My loyalty is gone.
Summary: There are two types of KA slow cooker owners in this world:The ones whose crocks haven't cracked yet (still madly in love with this product) and, The ones whose crocks have now cracked. And if you aren't around to hear a pop, keep a ... read more

Pros: Size, color, can turn knob to warm.
Cons: price, the fact that there is a known problem with the crock insert.
Summary: I have had the red slow cooker for about 13 months now and the ceramic crock has cracked. I did the live chat with KA and was told the part is on an extended backorder and they have no time frame for when they will get them back in. This ... read more

Pros: I liked the way it worked, the large size and the timer
Cons: HORRIBLE customer service, liner cracking
Summary: I bought my crockpot a little over 4 years ago. I don't use it a ton, but go through spurts when the weather is cold. The inner bowl cracked about a year after I got it. I called KITCHENAID customer service and they were arguing that I was passed my ... read more

Pros: Features
Size
Cons: Cheaply made crock insert
Crock lid that does not seat properly
Summary: I feel compelled to get the word out as much as possible about the risks of this slow cooker. I like the various cooking options, the size, and the shape of this slow cooker. And, the cooker body and programs function fine. Even after reading ... read more

Pros: Auto and programmable functions. Simmer setting. Heats evenly. No hot spots.
Cons: None really. Too big to keep on the counter.
Summary: Finally, a slow cooker you can actually walk away from! We love slow cookers, but we've outgrown the round ones; they just aren't big enough for the things we like to cook. We've owned a number of oval slow cookers, and every one of them had one (or ... read more

Pros: USDA recommended temp controls, 5 settings, microprocessor controlled, dishwasher safe
Cons: Heavy, outside gets hot, large
Summary: I was in the market for a slow cooker recently and researched many slow cookers on the market. I decided on the Kitchenaid KSC700 unit for several reasons. But first the details of the purchase. I purchased the Kitchenaid KSC700 from Cooks Catalog on ... read more

Pros: Cooks evenly. Long, overnight cooking options. Simple to use.
Cons: Ungainly. Pot cracked after minimum usage.
Summary: It was great while it lasted, which has been a minimum of uses. I'm looking at reviews, and can plainly see that I'm one of many. Other things about this were great, but they really need to get this part right. If they would have

Pros: It fit nicely in my trash can.
Cons: Kitchenaid must know this item is defective, the crock will crack even when cooking low.
Summary: I've had this slow cooker for almost three years. The crock has cracked four times...today's being a couple months out of the one year warranty since KA sent me a whole new unit.Do not buy this unit unless you can stay at home with it so you can

Pros: As long as ceramic has no crack it is good.
Cons: Poor choice of materials. Should be recalled and redesigned.
Summary: I can confirm also that the ceramic insert does crack under normal use (actually minimal use). Mine cracked spilling liquid onto the element. I see now from reading all of the reviews that this is very common. I do not

Pros: I love the size - works so well for a family of 4.
Cons: Liner cracked.
Summary: How stunned I was to find so many complaints about the liner cracking with this model (KSC700). The liner in my slow cooker cracked after about a year's use. It has to be a flaw in the manufacturing because I follow the

Pros: Nice size
Cons: Poor quality crocks crack while cooking. Kitchenaid will not admit they have a quality problem.
Summary: I bought this Kitchen Aid slow cooker about 6 months ago. I only used it maybe 4 times max. I used last week and noticed a crack in the crock starting from the bottom and growing up the sides. I investigated online and found many people

Pros: The two times we used it, it worked fine.
Cons: Pot cracked and liquid started to burn on the heat surface--very dangerous.
Summary: Like many people who complained about the pot cracking, the same thing happened to us. We were very careful with it because of the outrageous price tag. When I contacted customer service, they said they would sell me another unit for

Pros: Large (7qt), great handle; pretty to look at; hidden cord feature is nice.
Cons: The lid doesn't fit, which ruins the product.
Summary: I received this crock pot as a Christmas gift--we are taking it BACK. The lid does not fit at all; it wobbles and has a huge gap where air can get in....after reading these other reviews, we are not even going to ask for a replacement lid--we'll

Pros: Lid seals fine
Perfect tender meat
No temperature problems
Cons: I hate cleaning it.
Summary: I've had mine over a year and have used it a ton of times. Mine cracked but I did exactly what it said NOT to do. AFter the meat had been cooking for a couple of hours I put cold liquid in it. Than I heard the pop and knew it was
