I was looking for a smaller crockpot to cook for two people, and this one is perfect.  Works very well, easy to set and clean.  Exactly what I wanted.  The only thing I don't like is the wide lip surface that extends out from the front, obviously necessary to accommodate the electronic controls on the front.  This surface gets very hot and is right in front at the edge of the interior crock container, so you have to use caution to not touch this hot surface.  It is a cooker, it is going to be hot.  Not rocket surgery to figure this out, so I don't consider that a major negative.
