Crockpot SCVI600B-SS 6-Quart Premium VersaWare Slow Cooker

Comment: I purchased this Crockpot from Amazon 6 months ago and the non stick coating or whatever type coating they use is flaking off leaving little black flecks(I have never used metal utensils either) in your food.... as well as other problems...such as not turning on when you flip the switch. I have to unplug it, wait and hope that it turns on.

I am afraid to use it now because of possible electrical problems with the control switch and the flaking of the non stick coating.
DO NOT BUY THIS....IT SHOULD BE RECALLED!

Comment: I bought this crock pot for my wife's birthday. When the crock pot actually stayed on, we liked it a lot. However on two separate occasions the crock pot failed to stay on. One time, we had a meal cooking while we were at work. We set the timer to switch from lo to warm after 8 hours. When we arrived home after work, the meal was cooked, but the crock pot was cold. It failed to switch to warm setting after the 8 hour low cook time. The final use was last night to cook pulled pork for a super bowl party. we put the pulled pork in the crock pot before bed. I set the timer to 15 hours on low and the crockpot heater turned off and stopped the timer after 8 minutes. when we woke up, the crock pot was cold and the timer had only counted down 8 minutes.

Comment: I've now owned this crock pot for about 6 months and can't believe I have lived this long without owning a crockpot! This thing is awesome!!! I love that I can brown meat on the stove or sautee onions before I set it to cook all day. Then to come home and have a full dinner cooked for me after working all day and sitting in traffic is the best thing in the world. To top it all off, only 1 pot to clean! My mom got it after I told her how great it was and she loves it as well. She uses crock pot liners and said it makes clean up so much easier! I need to find some liners now...

Comment: After a week, the handle broke off during dish washing. Glueing it back was only a temporary fix, as the lid is heavy, the handle was unable to support the weight over time after breaking, and eventually resulted in the entire lid breaking on the counter top. Ordering a new lid cost 25 dollars with shipping and tax, and arrived broken. I cannot recommend a product that is designed to be so frigile as this.

Comment: I buy a lot of things from Amazon, but rarely review products. This was so bad (and pricey) that I had to warn others.

The lid does not fit properly on this slow cooker. There are two high spots in the stoneware lid. The lid actually rocks back and forth on these two spots. Which means that it does not keep in any moisture at all!

I tried to make pulled pork (which I've done at least 20 times in my last slow cooker with excellent results) and this time there was no moisture left in the meat at all because it had all evaporated out of the open top. This was an absolute waste of money! DO NOT PURCHASE!
