Excellent Cooker
 from Old Orchard Beach, ME,  Sep 29, 2010

The quality of this cooker is superb. The cost for this item is much more than reasonable. I would definitely recomment this purchase for anyone in the market for a pressure cooker.

Slow Cooker
 from Laurel, MD,  Jul 13, 2010

I love this product!!! I use it all the time and have had it now for more than 4 months and it works wonderfully!!!. Anyone looking for a nice size slow cooker should purchase this item. Good size, larger than the ones you would normally buy in the store.

Needed a large crock pot, and this fits the bill.
 from Louisville KY,  Oct 4, 2011

I needed a large crock pot and this is perfect. Can make a double batch of spaghetti sauce, a pot roast, cook a whole chicken or a large bone-in turkey breast. And the stoneware pot is beautiful!

Product Looked good but Came Broken
 from Albany, NY,  Sep 23, 2011

It is hard to rate the actual product because when I received it the ceramic insert was broken in several pieces. The packaging was totally inadequate for shipping - just a flimsy box inside another slightly thicker box. It was not marked fragile to indicate there was anything breakable. With that said, I cannot say enough about the excellent response I got from the Customer Service Department at Overstock. They responded quickly when I notified them of the issue. They followed up with email and phone calls. My credit card was credited almost immediately. A negative experience was turned into a very positive one due to the great support I received.

  • How did the color on site compare with the actual product? Product Description was accurate.
  • Please tell us about the quality of the product. Product looked like it would live up to its description if it wasn't broken in transit.
  • How accurate was the on site description of the product? Very accurate - large capacity - very substantial outer construction.

HUGE
 from Illinois,  Jun 20, 2011

So huge, I didn't realize it was this big. Only can be used for mega parties, and I have a family of 7. Still too big! My fault for not realizing. Wish it had auto-shutoff. Otherwise as described and works well.

  • Did the color match the color displayed onsite? yes
  • How is the quality of the product? good
  • Did the description onsite accurately describe the product? yes

Nice and large and works well.
 from Maricopa, AZ,  Sep 24, 2011

This was the largest slow cooler that I found anywhere. It worked perfectly to cook a pot roast. It's not digital but I wasn't looking for that. I wanted a simple, large capacity slow cooler and this fit the bill.

  • How did the color on site compare with the actual product? Exactly as depicted
  • Please tell us about the quality of the product. I thought the lid wasn't a good fit but after researching found that they are made that way on purpose.

this product was exactly what I wanted
 from SLC, UT,  Jul 8, 2011

We use slow cookers quite often and this is my favorite of all that we've owned. The capacity is perfect for a large crowd. The black interior doesn't show stains and cleans easily. It seems to cook evenly and is easy to use.

 from Lexington,SC,  Jan 16, 2012

  • Please tell us about the quality of the product. crock did not have the Auto/Off/Low/.High labels on the controls when I took it out of the box

preliminary review...
 from New Orleans,  Jun 14, 2011

i will write the review after the item arrives....it is for my son, and it is imperative that it fits in the dishwasher. The specifications said it would, but due to my recent purchases at O and in relation to 'color' only...I sincerely hope it fits inside a normal dishwasher. If it does, I would order another one for my other son.

Stainless Steel 8.5-quart Slow Cooker

8.5-quart Slow Cooker
 from Sarasota, FL,  Feb 2, 2011

It's size that matters for me. And Overstock had the right size for me. The quality is excellent. The delivery was fast and the cooker was well packed. The price was a steal. I love to make large amounts of soup and freeze portions. Tthis is now so easy with this size slow cooker. And it looks so great in my kitchen, next to the stainless steel appliances. Another great buy from Overstock. If somebody looks for a large size slow cooker, good quality and great price, this is the one to go for.

this is not a slow cooker!
 from Michigan,  Nov 23, 2010

I purchased this item because it looked good, but also because of the large capacity. Two problems: I use a crock pot to cook meals while I am at work, so I am gone for 9 hours. I made chicken soup and it turned out to be almost burned chicken stew. Not only did it cook at too high of a temperature for a slow cooker, the top did not seat well, leaving a 1/4 inch gap on both ends, so what little moisture may have been retained due to the high temperature was lost due to the space between the top and the cooker. I immediately returned it, and now waiting for a refund. I have purchased many other items from Overstock, and this is the first time I had to return something.

Stainless steel 8.5 quart slow cooker
 from Roseville, CA,  Nov 20, 2010

I really like this slow cooker. It's a little bigger than the 6 quart. I have always used. I found that my 6 quart slow cooker was always just not quite large enough. I cooked a roast, carrots, and potatoes in the 8.5 quart slow cooker, and it worked out much better. I really like the quality, and the looks of the 8.5 quart slow cooker. Most of all, I love the way it cooks. Everything I've cooked comes out very well . I'm very happy I bought this slow cooker and would recommend it.
