I love mine, and the setting I use the most is the slowcooker. I'm starting to use the pressure for rice and beans and hard boiled eggs. Just for those things alone, it's worth it for me. I have not had a crock lot for years, because I didn't want the risk of lead in the ceramic glaze, so the stainless steel pot is wonderful!! I just upgraded to the 8qt size last month, when I did a great deal on one in Amazon warehouse for $73.
