Title: Made in China
Product review: I bought this item to replace a 25 year old cooker thats showing it's age. I was NOT pleased with the diference in quality between the old (made in USA) and new (made in China) models. The old cooker is 1/8 in. aluminum, the new is 1/16 in. The old lid is solid molded glass, the new looks like plexiglass with a plastic knob screwed on. The old base is hefty bakelite, the new seems to be some cheap and flimsy molded plastic. And the new cooking pot doesn't sit flat on the base.West Bend has lost me as a customer for life. If I can't find a good quality kitchen appliance any more, I'll go back to cast iron on the stovetop.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
