 Pleased as punch with my purchase!!! January 28, 2008

I'm earning my first A+ in 13 years of cooking from ALL family members thanks to this slow cooker! I've had it for about a month now, and I've cooked quite a bit with it: bread pudding, brisket, stews, and even spiced cider have all come out really delicious. I purchased it from a store that sends 20% off coupons in the mail, so I was able to get it for $120. That is steep, but I feel that it is worth it because it is such a beautiful, substantial appliance that is a real asset in the kitchen. But the proof is in the pudding--if I satisfy my husband, my daughter, and my sister (an undertaster, a supertaster, and a picky eater), then all I can say is that I wish I had purchased this sooner. A couple of things to keep in mind about this model is that it is a bit heavy and will take up a lot of room on your counter or in your cabinet, the recipe booklet is negligible (only 5 recipes), and the lit-up timer is difficult to read up close (you have to stand back a few feet to be able to read the digital numbers). But these inconveniences seem minor compared to the quality of the cooker, and I am very happy with my purchase.
Amazing Product January 28, 2008

I just purchased the All-Clad Slow Cooker based on other Amazon reviews. It is perfect. Simple to use, easy to clean. It is a large size that can easily hold two chickens. The settings couldn't be simpler, and it switches to warm when your cooking time is completed. A nice feature is a count-"up" timer on the warm setting, so that you can see how many minutes have gone by after the meal finished cooking. Also, note that "Not Your Mother's Slow Cooker Cookbook" by Beth Hensperger and Julie Kaufmann is a great cookbook with loads of terrific ideas. Enjoy!
 Poor Quality, Poor Customer Service January 26, 2008

I have had the All-Clad slow cooker for about a year, having used it only about 8-10 times. Unfortunately I did not save the receipt, for it no longer cooks the food. It did only a mediocre job at first, and now does not cook the food at all. All-Clad will do nothing without a receipt. The product is made in China (they told me that all their electric products are made in China), and they apparently do not exercise good quality control. I have had several cheaper slow cookers over the years which have done a better job at cooking the food and have lasted a lot longer. I do not intend to purchase All-Clad products in the future.
Took my $$, told me that it was shipping, later told me they didn't have any to ship! January 18, 2008

Horrible service! They took my money without even seeing if they had the product. Then I finally get an email saying that it was being shipped. However, 4 hours later, I get another email saying that they do not have any in stock! So I had to wait for about 8 days for my refund. I will never purchase from this company again!
A made-in-China All Clad that doesn't live up to the brand January 8, 2008

After reading so many positive reviews, I was very anxious to receive the slow cooker, in fact I was checking the delivery on UPS almost daily. However, it was a huge let-down. The item was so defective at first sight that I had to return it.
First of all, its exterior feels cheap, unlike the typical All Clad pots and pans. I have been cooking with only All Clad and bought several sets (LTDs, MC2s, copper core)for mom and family, so I know what to expect. My usual All Clad are all made in the US, and this is the first made-in-China item I purchased. I would like to the tell the All Clad management, if you are going to make premium products, stick to your Canonsburg roots and I don't mind paying more for quality. But charging All Clad premium for a piece of crap is unacceptable. This product also only comes with an one-year warranty, unlike a typical All Clad that comes with lifetime warranty.
Then, the lid is UNEVEN. It cannot cover the crock properly so there is are huge gaps on both sides when the crock is covered. The crock itself is a disaster. I have never seen a piece of china so roughly and carelessly made. The rim was uneven,with bubble defects all over the place, and the base was UNEVEN too! It was visually a defective crock, and worse than the cheapest piece of ceramic plate you can pick up at Target.
I am returning the whole product for a refund. For my next All Clad purchase, I will make sure it is the blue-blooded All Clad hand-made in the USA, not some cheap mock-ups made in China that are trying to charge the same premium for crappy quality.
