Crock-Pot 4.5qt Slow Cooker: Ceramic Stoneware, 3 Settings, Stay-Cool Handles, Dishwasher-Safe Parts

Brought this, tried to use it the same night. Halfway thru cook time it stopped working. It also took almost 2 hours to actually heat up. The $20 price point should have shun me away but I thought it would be atleast somewhat okay for small needs.

Love love love! Not too big nor too small!

Very slow to heat…takes a long time to heat

I loved it! I got it on sale i use it never doubted me! It’s perfect for family of 4.

I thought I’d get lucky. Because at this price point, why wouldn’t you give it a shot? Well, it turned out to be a complete waste of time! My unit didn’t power on at all. There’s no indicator light, so you couldn’t tell if it was on, but it produced no heat. I had it on high for an hour and the base plate was still cool to the touch. On top of that, when I turned it down to low, the knob fell off!!! I’m so disappointed in this product. But I should’ve heeded caution to the plethora of negative reviews on this already. Don’t be like me - pass this one up.

I’ve been using this 4.5 qt Crock-Pot for a few weeks and it’s the perfect size for small families or meal prep for two people. It heats evenly, cooks stews and chili beautifully, and keeps food warm without burning. Cleanup is easy since the insert is removable and dishwasher safe. The size is great—not too bulky but big enough for a whole chicken or a batch of soup. Definitely recommend if you want something reliable and simple to use.”

Love this crockpot! The outside does get warm to the touch. The inside comes out for easily cleaning. It is very versatile for different recipes.

This crock pot worked well for a long time, but eventually, the knob became loose. As a result, it either stopped heating or heated to the wrong temperature.

Excellent quality and style Target has excellent appliances Thank you

It’s as easy to use as a microwave dinner and brings a sense of delicious nostalgia into my home. I can set the pot and run errands without worry! My mother could feed a family of six out of one crock pot (barring a side or two) and my wife and I use it to portion for just the two of us. Very simple and versatile!

A must have! Perfect for days when you don’t feel like cooking. You can slow cook anything! Easy clean up. You can turn the temp higher or lower. It’s very durable! Long lasting.

I am enjoying this smaller pot as I don't need the larger size. It meets my needs to saute checken breast, or veggies, or soups. It was on sale, and I'm very pleased.

The product was clean The product was nice and tidy The product feels like it has some good quality and drmurability to it. It will definitely last a while

It's been two hours and the food inside is not even warm ( soup ) but the outside burned the crap out of me. I've never had a slow cooler get this hot. My fingers are blistered. I don't trust this thing when I am not home. I recycled the box so I don't think I can return it. I am cutting the cord off of it and throwing it away so no one else gets hurt.

I didn't notice that there was no timer on the Crockpot, I am returning it.

After about six months my spouse and I have stopped using our model SCR450-H-BR (marked on the bottom of the heating base) because it didn't give us the flexibility we were hoping for. We learned from our first few trials and then re-reading the manual carefully that this model is designed to work best when filled 1/2 way to 3/4 way full (2-3 qts by volume). The manual doesn't say what substance to fill to this level, but I would say it means full of liquid. Since the heating elements are not below the stoneware bowl -- they seem to be positioned around the sides of the ceramic bowl about 1/2 to 3/4 of the way up -- a recipe that only sits in the bottom 1/3rd of the bowl does not transfer heat evenly. As a result we didn't get good results with recipes that start out somewhat dry but make more juice as they cook like some stews and roasts. We also didn't get good results with recipes having liquid levels smaller than about 2 qts. For example, a pot roast 2" thick should be covered with about another 2" of liquid to meet the 1/2 to 3/4 depth (the stoneware bowl is 5" deep). I'm not sure of the advantage of designing this model with the heating elements up so high, but this may be something that works well for others but not for us. I just think it's good to be aware for what you think you'll use it for. I'll be on the lookout for the placement of the heating elements in my next slow-cooker purchase.

I needed a medium sized crock pot to cook a large pork bone in shoulder and this was on sale and the perfect size! Happy with this crock pot.

I thought maybe I wasn't using it right, and so I missed the return window. My old crockpot was wonderful, could cook a pot of beans by soaking overnight and cooking all day. This one literally takes 2-3 days to cook a pot of beans. Low powered waste of time.

Great price on this great slow cooker can do plenty of recipes with this classic piece of kitchen equipment right sized for 3-5 servings per person not to heavy and very easy to use and easy to clean.

It works perfectly and has lasted me a long time! It’s the simplest easy dinner hack. Throw a few things in, leave for work, and come home to a delicious meal! Cleaning it is straight forward, I just let it soak with some soap and water overnight and rinse it out in the morning.
