Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Dr. Weil 9811 The Healthy Kitchen 5-Quart Slow Cooker
Customer Review: Excellent slow cooker
Summary: 5 Stars
I was going to get the 7 quart model which had excellent reviews here but decided the 5 quart would suffice for my cooking needs. I have already used it a handful of times in the last few weeks since I've purchased and it is as nice to look at as it is to cook with. As with any slow cooker with ceramic insert, take extra care when washing to not bump the insert against the sink, faucet, etc. This slow cooker takes up considerable room on the countertop but I love how I can put a whole chicken in here and still have room to spare!Customer Review: Cheap construction
Summary: 2 Stars
Liked the slow cooker very much until the week after the warranty expired and the front control panel fell off/became detached from the pot. Apparently, the cheap plastic screws that hold the control unit to the pot broke off. I rarely move the pot from the counter, so this was not from rough use. Very disappointed in what otherwise would have been a good product, though slightly pricey. From the other review, apparently, this was not just a fluke.Customer Review: arrived broken,with 4 recipes
Summary: 1 Stars
I ordered the 5 quart unit. It arrived with the control panel hanging off the housing. Also, the booklet that came with it only had 4 short recipes. One was for applesauce. It called for apples, apple juice and cinnamon. I don't need a recipe to tell me how to cook applesauce. I am still going to buy a slow cooker, just not this one.Customer Review: Great product
Summary: 5 Stars
We have really enjoyed this cooker - we had purchased 2 All-Clad cookers in 2 years at Williams Sonoma and both failed - took a chance on this one and it has been flawless. Have not used the preprogrammed functions but I see where they could be useful.Customer Review: Piece of junk.
Summary: 1 Stars
After a few uses the control panel came off and I threw the damn thing out. It looks like the plastic washers holding the screws get brittle from high temperatures. 100 bucks for such garbage. Deserves the good doctor's name.
