Comment: The lid leaked out the water and it ran out all over the counter. The food has a strange off flavor after it was cooked. It took it for ever to cook the food and it was not completely done even after 8 hours of cooking. Not happy with it at all. I sent it back for refund.

Comment: Cooker is everything the description said. I am very happy with the size and quality. It also looks good sitting on the counter. After all, it is a Slow Cooker so it might as well look good sitting there all day.

Summary: Unethical Substitution 2010-03-23
Comment: AMAZON, please find another source and provider of this item.
The original crock pot held a crock that weighs 9.5 lbs.
The replacement sent to me (and that I paid for when the original crock cracked after 6 months)
weighs 8 lbs.
The heavier a ceramic product, the stronger it is and more clay is required to produce it. It's fired at a higher temperature (hence the strength) and the crock shrinks in size accordingly.
I asked Maxi-Matic to extend the warranty on the new crock since it was a poor substitution. They would not. Patti told me to "take it up with the Better Business Bureau," and that the owner would not speak with me, plus he was 'out of the office' anyway.
I really hope AMAZON finds another source for this item, even if it costs more. Ethics in business is a trait too difficult to come across these days, and the companys that conduct an ethical business should be rewarded generously.

Comment: I returned this product today. I recently bought this cooker for a friend and he was very happy with his. I decided to purchase one for my family. We were not happy with it from the first use. The auto function never changed from HOT to cool. I decided to give it another try using only the low setting. On low, the liquid rapidly boiled and the cooker and the surrounding area were very hot to the touch. While I love the size and shape, it is not a consistently safe unit. It may be that this one is a lemon and others are OK, but I wouldn't chance a replacement cooker.
