BELLA (13973) 5 Quart Programmable Slow Cooker with Timer, Polished Stainless Steel

I bought this crockpot in 2017 and we had an accident so I had to replace it. So I went and bought the exact same one because it works so good and was so faithful and cooked my food so great. It was hard to find a crockpot initially because everybody had bad things to say about every single crockpot. So I tried this one and haven’t had one problem. I let it soak in the sink after a meal and then I throw it in the dishwasher and it cleans great. And it wasn’t super expensive like others.

This crock pot has it ALL! This is the first one I have ever owned and I'm thrilled with it! It comes with different settings including High, Warm, and Low and you can adjust the time as needed. I made my first ever batch of chili in it and it turned out amazing! It was so easy to do I just threw everything in their set it on low and cooked it overnight, when I woke up the next morning it was cooked to perfection. The digital timer and setting have lights on them making it very easy to read and see even in the dark. The crock pot itself is a great size and can feed about 5-6 people easily. The pot itself conveniently comes out and is super easy to clean. I would highly recommend this crock pot to anyone it is fantastic. It came on time and in wonderful condition. I swear it is so easy my 5 year old could probably use it! My next mission is veggie lasagna. The crock pot also comes with a warranty and an easy instructional manual with a 1 year warranty​.

I already have a slow cooker, but I wanted a second one for cooking sides in it. It is nice to have one for cooking a meat dish, like a roast, and another unit to cook something else, like macaroni and cheese.That was one of my plans for this slow cooker. I also am the only vegetarian in a family full of meat eaters, so I usually cook a second dinner for myself. This allows me to set and forget not only what I am cooking for them, but for myself as well.This is nice because it is large, and it holds 5 quarts. One of the things that makes this unit superior to my other slow cooker is the fact that you can program exactly how long you want it to cook for. My other unit only allows you to set it for 4, 6, and 8 hours. The settings are only on low or high. This requires you to either have your food be underdone or overcooked, at least it's been that way in my experience.Sometimes, you need to finely tune your cooking. Now, with this unit I can have low, medium, and high settings. I can also set it for any time that I want. The pot is stoneware, and the lid is tempered and is dishwasher safe. I can easily take out the stoneware part and clean it as well.This crockpot is heavy-duty and is fully customizable, so I have no complaints. Read the directions before using.

I've had my Bella for 8 years. I've used it a lot,band it still works great and looks like new. It's a slow cooker. Don't know what else to say, except, even though it's a bit smaller than my "regular" sized crockpot, it makes enough for a family.

I bought this slow cooker after I lost the lid of my first Bellla crockpot. I ended up continuing to use the old crockpot, but eventually tossed it to use the new one. I put all of the ingredients into the pot, turned it to low for a few hours, and left for work. I returned from work just 1 hour short of when the timer was to expire, but it was turned off. The ingredients inside were room temp, nothing was warm, like it had been off for a while. I turned it back on, set it to 4 hours and checked on it after 30 mins, it had shut off. I again turned it on and set it to 6 hours this time, I checked it every minute. It appeared as though it shut off after 20 mins. I tried unplugging it and plugging it back in, didn't work. My dinner was ruined and now I have this broken slow cooker. Waste of $40. Don't buy it!

I absolutely LOVE this crockpot. It's perfect size for a family of 6. The programmable portion is wonderful. I've had other crock pots where you just set the temp to high or low, set it and forget it, with this, I was able to make a recipe and put in a specific amount of time. It's perfect for us.

I had a crock pot with similar settings for years but the dish cracked so I got this one to replace it. Unfortunately the lowest setting simmers and that is hotter than I want for slow cooking.

I purchased this slow cooker some time in 2016. I started using it in 2019. It is the BEST!! I have made pork butt and pork steaks plus roasted vegetables and everything came out great! I hope it continues to function well for me. Everything I cook in it turns out great and clean up is easy. I plan to cook vegetable lasagna in it next.
