 Cuisinart that cooks for you April 14, 2008
C. Beddow (Beavercreek, Oregon USA)

I've made several dishes in this already and love it. I love the timer and the fact that after it cooks, it just goes to warm and the food stays perfect. It was a very good purchase for me. It is a little smaller than anticipated, so I will buy the 6 quart also. The pot looks oval in the picture, but is really round.
 Perfect for 2 April 6, 2008

This product is perfect for a family of 2. We had a larger slow cooker and it basically boiled everything because the quantities were so small. I am very glad I found this smaller slow cooker and it fits with the rest of my cuisinart products.
The Little Crock Pot that Could March 24, 2008
J. Dallas Dishman (Los Angeles)

Great little slow cooker/crockpot.
The unit cooks well and evenly.
The sleek design is suitable for a permanent home on the counter (unlike my older crockpot with it's 1970's floral print, which is best hidden in the cupboard). The retractable cord is an added bonus that makes it easy to keep on the counter or store neatly on a shelf.
The digital display is great - I love being able to set the time and walk away. But, calling this a programmable unit is a bit misleading - it's equipped with a digital timer, that's where the programming ends. The only thing that kept this review from being 5 stars is the lack of a "delayed start" option, which I thought would be included on a "programmable unit". However, to be fair, that short-coming, if you can call it that, is compensated for by the "warming feature" that keeps food warm after the cooking cycle.
The 4 quart is great for a small household. However, since you technically should only cook about 3 quarts in a 4 quart unit, if you have a household of 4 or more or love to eat "left overs", I suggest you consider bumping up to the 6 quart unit. Otherwise, you may find that your regular recipes don't quite fit into the pot.
All in all, well worth the investment.
Damaged, but I expect good things March 18, 2008

The product arrived damaged and was returned, but based on the reviews by the Cooks' Illustrated magazine(America's Test Kitchen staff), I expect good things from this particualr Cuisinart product.
Really Good Cooker With Some Minor Flaws March 11, 2008
Matthew Marlowe (San Diego, CA USA)
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
good:
- elegant appearance, looks good next to all the other stainless appliances
- cooks very well, we've been using it for a few weeks now and all the meals have turned out delicious.
- controls are very well done
- auto warming function
- generally runs quiet w/o any problems
bad:
- in some circumstances, I think the lid is just too light so that 3-4hrs into a "high" heat dish that has alot of water in it, it will start to vibrate up and down and you'll hear steam coming out the top (I'm going to speak to cusinart about this, but we cook nearly all of our stuff on low so this rarely impacts us).
- we've noticed that many dishes seem to take longer to cook than they should (e.g. 8hr dish takes 9-10hrs on low). We're still monitoring to see if its a general problem or specific to the cusinart.
