Title: Very nice mini crockpot.
Review: The price was so low on this, I didn’t think it would work as well as it does. It holds a lot more than it looks and it really cooks well. I am one person so I can throw a little chicken in there and some vegetables and let it cook. The meat comes out great, and all I have to clean this one little pot. The length of the cord is a little short, but you could still plug it in and have room keeping it away from the wall. I don’t know how long it will last but for $14. It was a great buy.

Title: Perfect size
Review: I live in Texas where queso is required at every get together. This works perfectly for keeping the cheese warm and delicious, and the size is just right. I have not tried out anything other than dips, but I imagine it could be very versatile. The price is right, too! I got the white color and it looks nice and prevents fingerprints. Super easy to clean with removable crock. Recommend!

Title: Used for Jewelry Making
Review: I am a jeweler and and important step in the process is heating the pieces in hot water and solution to clean them. This is the perfect crockpot for that application. Small and compact this is the second one I have purchased.

Title: Too small to cook.
Review: Bought this for single-serving meals. It is big enough to fit that much food, but the small size does not allow proper cooking in normal slow-cooker timeframes. I think the problem is the small volume which means there is a large surface area for the volume causing too-rapid cooling. It does heat well from the bottom, but that does not translate to properly cooked things like vegetables or beans. My 3-1/2 quart slow cooker has no problem with this when filled, but that's a lot of food for one. The larger size means lower surface area per volume which retains heat better throughout. There is likely a minimum volume size for proper slow-cooker cooking, and 1.5 quarts is not it. It does work fine for heating pre-cooked foods, just not for actual cooking. Maybe a 2 or 2-1/2 quart model would be large enough, but I don't know.The control is nice with settings for off, low, high and warm. What is missing is an indicator light to show when the unit is on. Without that, it is easy for it to be left on when not intended or to not be on when intended. Adding a light would increase the cost a bit, but it would be a good addition.Compact size. The white version looks very nice on the counter. Doesn't take up much space. The price is very attractive, but not really if you intend to use this for actual cooking.

Title: Very cute!
Review: I bought this croc pot for the Mexican Independence day, we wanted to make homemade cheese dip for our Nachos! This is perfect size, I have a bigger one and it's too big to make a dip. Very good and I ordered in white. I recommend this product.

Title: Perfect size for meals for one!
Review: I love a crockpot meal, but it’s just me. I don’t want to make some giant meal with leftovers for two weeks. This little crockpot makes it so easy that I can throw some ingredients in and have dinner in one dish. A healthy dinner too. I’ll use this 3-4 times every week.

Title: For the jewelers and metal model makers out there who plan to use this as a pickling pot
Review: As a profession, I make and restore antique toys and metal mechanical models and opted NOT to purchase an industrial pickle pot. I simply could not justify the cost for what little they do for $200 to $300. This 1.5 quart crock pot from Amazon will do the job just the same for much less money.To help others with the same intentions, I am providing the temperatures for each setting. To do these tests, I simply filled to about 80% with water, covered with the lid, and checked with a quality cooking thermometer 30 minutes after switching the various settings on.Starting at room temperature for each setting (with lid on), after 30 minutes the temperatures were the following:Low setting - 102° Fahrenheit (38.8° Celsius)High setting - 130° Fahrenheit (54.4° Celsius)Keep warm setting - 82° Fahrenheit (27.7° Celsius)Maximum temperatures were attained after 1.5 hours (with lid off)Low setting - 130° Fahrenheit (about 54.4° Celsius)High setting - 130° Fahrenheit (about 54.4° Celsius)Keep warm setting - 101° Fahrenheit (38.3° Celsius)Maximum temperatures were attained after 1.5 hours (with lid on)Low setting - 160° Fahrenheit (71.1° Celsius)High setting - 200° Fahrenheit (93.3° Celsius)Keep warm setting - 125° Fahrenheit (51.6° Celsius)So basically if you want to get your pickling solution to a working temperature of around 130° Fahrenheit as fast as possible, you would want to fill to about 80% capacity then put the lid on, turn it to the high setting for 15 to 20 minutes, then set it to low and get to work!Should you find that pickling your work in a higher temperature yields better results using a specific pickle compound, you should leave the lid on between dips and you can have anywhere from 150° to 200° Fahrenheit with this pot depending on time and heat setting. Temperatures will drop if lid stays off (as stated above).Remember not to let the pickle solution boil! Boiling is possible if you leave the high setting on for a very long time (probably unattended with the lid on and switched to the high setting for over 2 hours). Something I noticed was that the power cord was not warm to the touch at all after being on for 5 hours (low setting) during some lengthy work, that's good thing.White interior ceramic pot, works just fine with caustic pickling compounds commonly available to jewelers. I chose this version over others that came with a black pot. If you are finding yourself having to change your pickle solution in the middle of work, ALWAYS let the temperature of the pot cool down. You risk cracking or breaking the ceramic insert pot when you pour a much cooler solution into a hot pot, the temperature difference between hot and cold materials can cause cracking of the ceramic.The fastener to the center knob for the lid is actually an aluminum alloy, so I replaced that with a piece made of 316 stainless. The caustic fumes from the pickle compound would corrode that aluminum alloy fastener in quick order. The fastener is M6x1 and length is 18mm (McMaster-Carr part #94500A316). The photo I uploaded to this review is of the original aluminum fastener showing the discoloration to the head and early evidence of oxidation.Down the road, I anticipate the supposedly stainless ring that lines the edge of the lid to corrode. I had originally thought about cutting this ring with a thin cut off abrasive blade, possibly replacing it with a silicone band, but have not gotten around to doing that.The only other modification I would add to this would be a "power on" indicator lamp. One could either modify the housing itself and tap into the wiring for a cleaner look, or simply use a heavy-duty power strip that has its own power indicator lamp.I like it, it's larger than most jeweler-type pickle pots which is a huge advantage for my shop. Yes, it's just a simple kitchen crock pot used in a light industrial setting, and it doesn't look at home among all the other machines and tools, but it WORKS. If one doesn't like the aesthetics, simply take it apart and give the outer housing a coat of engine or stove enamel paint.A previous reviewer has stated that the exterior housing for the 6 quart version is made of plastic. The two 1.5 quart Elite Gourmet slow cookers (model MST-250XW) which I ordered are not made of plastic and have a thin steel sheet metal housing instead.Don't forget to work in a well-ventilated area, wear a proper respirator mask, and always wear your goggles!Hope this helps,JasonOld Foundry Toy Works

Review: Tengo poco usándola, pero hasta ahora me ha encantado, es muy pequeña, la parte interior del tazón mide unos 15 cm de diámetro, 10 cm de diámetro en la base y 10cm de alto aprox. (es mas angosta la base que la parte superior) pero me funciona perfecto para lo que la necesito, fácil cabe 1/2 kg de carnes o 1 L de líquido, por el tamaño esta super fácil lavar el tazón y ocupa muy poco espacio, recomendada para una o dos personas máximo (dependiendo el platillo que prepares) y el precio esta excelente, el único inconveniente que veo es que en el manual dice que la garantía solo aplica en USA.

Review: Es una holla pequeña, cómoda, bien elaborada, fácil de usar y lavar. Es pequeña como para una porción (para una persona). La considero un electrodoméstico para cocinar pero lleva su tiempo ya que en maximo no alcanza una gran temperatura, pero si logra cocer los alimentos como: pasta, avena, huevo duro, etc. también sirve para mantener calientes los alimentos ya cocinados en otro lugar o como alternativa para calentar guisados si no te gusta utilizar el microondas
