Rival SCE600

Pros: It's a beautiful, efficient unit.

Cons: Parts cant be replaced depending on where you buy it from.

The Bottom Line: I would only recommend it to people who aren't clumsy like myself.

Pros: Decorative crock and warm setting.

Cons: (Deliberately?) flimsy, cheap, plastic handle breaks, rendering unit useless.

The Bottom Line: Avoid---Rival will not replace shoddy, poorly designed parts.

Review: I had a version of this product in black. I, too, liked the look of the crock (which was pretty enough to bring the table for weekday family dinners). I also liked the "keep warm" setting, which was handy with two working adults and two teenagers in the ...
