Rival SCV702 7-Quart Slow Cooker

Pros: easy to use, cleans up well, dishwasher safe lid and stoneware
Cons: none that I have found.

One of the great things about being a mom is that when your kids grow up they will sometimes get you a really nice gift as an adult. Mind you, the gifts that my children have gotten me over the years have all been great! Especially the ones they made ...

Pros: Cooks wonderfully nice appearance. Love the removable crock.
Cons: Lid broke have looked 2 years for a replacement, still don't have one.

I love this crockpot! Only problem is half the lid handle broke off. When we tried to take off the other half the lid  shattered   for no apparent reason - it was not hot or cold- anyway now cannot find a replacement lid- have went to lots of websites noone has one for that model. Also noticed LOTS of others have the same problem.

Pros: Size, dishwasher ready
Cons: Hairline fracture around entire bottom of stoneware due to high setting.

I love this crockpot, but in two months time, I went through two of them.  The first one:  I noticed some food droppings burning on the heating element.  That made me look closer at the stoneware to see a hairline crack all the way around the bottom and even a piece missing.  Because I liked it so much, I went and exchanged it for the exact same thing.  The second one:  After less than a month, it's also got a hairline crack all the way around the bottom. 

Maybe if you NEVER use the high setting, it won't do this.
