Cons
Con Teflon coating is known to wear off/ chip away with use in many units
The use of a metal spatula is known to cause chipping in products that use Teflon, which is largely the reason for the wearing away in this unit.
Con The long cord can get in the way
The 44" long cord will probably lay on your kitchen counter or floor. It cannot be retracted.
Con Lacks sear feature
With this slow cooker, it is hard to brown meats or make sautéed vegetables.
Con This model has had production issues
There have been production issues resulting in the lid not fitting well on the ceramic vessel. Because of that, it doesn't hold the temperature as well as it should. So there's a chance you will receive a faulty product and might have to return it.
