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

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

Cons: Heavy, outside gets hot, large

Pros: A large unit, good countertop shape, which may contribute to the design flaw.
Cons: Only a matter of time until the unit cracks.
Summary: Please do not waste your money with this particular slow cooker. A bit more than a year after our purchase of a new one, the liner cracked it two places. Of course, it was out of warranty. In a phonecon with the company, they tried to

Pros: Attractive, large, good controls.
Cons: May NOT last you very long - pots have a high failure rate.
Summary: I bought this as a gift for my wife who has used our $15 Rival crockpot for 30 years. The KitchenAid KSC700 looked like the best. BUT BE WARNED... these pots crack even when they have been handled properly. Our unit was NEVER handled improperly, but it

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: 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: Attractive counter-top decoration, if an appliance theme is your taste !!
Cons: UNRELIABLE POT, too big for counter-top decoration. POOR QUALITY
Summary: Kitchen Aid slow cooker SUCKS !!!!! Obviously a MAJOR design/material flaw. ANOTHER cracked insert, we're on our third one. We were charged $20 for the last one. We're DONE with KA products. I compare this product to buying a luxury car (high

Pros: Easy to use and clean.
Cons: Insert is subject to cracking and could be a fire hazzard if left unattended.
Summary: I purchased a KitchenAid Slow Cooker, and within minutes of having it on, the insert cracked. This happened three times. KitchenAid replaced the insert every time without charge or shipping costs. However, after the third insert
