Rival 33511

Pros: Cleans up easy, looks nice, works great.

Cons: Gets too hot.

Review: This crock works excellent! I've used it about 4 days out of 7 since I got it 3 weeks ago. Its attractive stainless steel makes it look nice sitting on your counter, you don't feel like you have to put it away. It does tend to get more hot than my old ...

Pros: Looks nice.

Cons: Burns Food.

Review: This crockpot seems to cook to quickly. Even on low heat, the contents of my crockpot were charred "jerky" after 7 hours...when my recipe said cook at least 8! The lid does not stay on well, in that it clanks around during cooking as the hot air ...

Pros: Free mini crock pot, black and stainless steel goes with just about any kitchen

Cons: Cheaply made, lid handle poorly designed, overcooks food too easily.

The Bottom Line: Don't be taken in by the low price. Get a slightly more expensive one and save yourself some frustration.

Review: Like the other review on this product, I too want to warn people about the lid on this appliance. After less than two weeks of use--probably 5 times total--the handle on the lid broke off during use. Seems they did redesign the lid but instead of a metal ...

Pros: Gets Hot. Affordable. Shiny purty. Matches the disposer.

Cons: Gets Hot. No after market support. Tuned for replacement at purchase.

The Bottom Line: Keep Looking. This is Rival's bottom of the latent defect barrel. Other products by Rival and Holmes Group are not so dysfunctional.

Review: I recently bought this, partly because of the bundling with the 1 pint slow cooker. The 33511 has three settings Low (192Watts) High (230W) and keep warm (57W). It has a glass lid with ridges in the stoneware for venting. This unit is not the slow cooker ...

Pros: Color coordinates with and fits perfectly in my trash can.

Cons: Burns food.

The Bottom Line: Your better off cooking over an open fire. This cooker overcooks everything and if you don't watch it it will burn your meal to a crisp.

Review: I had a small cheepie 3 qt Rival for about 10 years that worked great. The plastic handles were cracking. Before that one I had several other slow cookers that worked great. Put a meal in and come back 6, 8 or even 10 hours later and the meal is ready. ...

Pros: Mini Dipper included, glass lid, and attractive.

Cons: Water all over my counter, meals almost burned, and handle breaking.

The Bottom Line: I wish I were happier with this Crock-pot since it has some features that I like but I tend to grumble about it every time I pull it out.

Review: I bought this Crock-pot because it seemed like a good deal. I liked the fact that it had the mini dipper in it. In retrospect I realize that I haven’t even used the mini dipper. Go figure. I am very unhappy with this product for three reasons. ...

Pros: appearance

Cons: function

Review: Replaced an old one we bought at a garage sale with this fancy new model. We have used it three times, setting up in the morning before leaving for work, turning it on low, intending to enjoy a hot meal upon return. This thing literally burned two meals ...
