Title: Note to manufacturer....Defective heating element
Product review: I bought a Rival hot pot almost 10 years ago from QVC and it was a great product. it wasvery well made with thick plastic and was very well constructed, unlike the one in the picture. I recently bought a replacement for it from Target. It did not have the Rival name on it but it looks exactly like the one in the picture and it has what I assume is Targets brand (Chefmate)on it. This item heats great but I have noticed that it will inadvertantly cut off and after several uses the large round heating element inside the pot will separate from the plastic, surrounding it, resulting in leakage from the bottom of the pot. This is a defect that needs to be corrected before a serious incident results from what is an obvious design flaw. How it got past quality control is a curiosity. obviously this product is a result of someone making a decision to cut cost by making an inferior product. Tsk, tsk.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
