The Kenmore 80010 7 Quart Slow Cooker with Dipper in Stainless Steel has received a mix of reviews from users, highlighting its features and some concerns.
One user expressed satisfaction with the cooker’s performance, noting that it works well and automatically switches to a warm setting for four hours after cooking is done. They appreciated the temperature control options (high, low, and medium) and the ability to set the cooking time in 30-minute increments.
However, another user encountered a quality issue where the base of the cooker started to fold inward after just one use. This raised concerns about the product’s safety and durability, leading them to plan a return.
A positive aspect noted by a long-term user is the clay pot, which they claim is free of toxic chemicals. Its ease of use and cleaning, along with durability over several years, were also praised.
There was a complaint about the product description being misleading. A customer bought the slow cooker expecting a 24-hour heat setting, only to find that it only goes up to 10 hours.
Another concern raised was an unpleasant odor emitted by the slow cooker, which seemed to transfer to the food. Despite hoping that the odor would dissipate over time, it persisted, leading to the disposal of the product.
Despite these issues, another user reported a satisfactory experience, mentioning that the slow cooker arrived quickly, was as described, and works perfectly for a family of five. They expressed overall contentment with all aspects of the cooker.
