Pros & Cons
Pros
Handles are strong, knobs are satisfying to turn and slightly textured so wet hands are no problem. Temperature knob is sometimes a hit or miss to achieve the ideal temperature. Set-and-forget style features are great for busy people, or for folks wit... Read More
In cooking modes other than slow and rice there is a pre-heat that comes on. This applies full heat to the cook pot until the temperature set-point is reached.

Capacity for the cooking pot is 6 quarts/5. Gallons. The pot itself is large enough to hold a good sized roast, and i've done chili with 3 pounds of ground and veggies, and it handled that without any issues.

The second thing i made with this was long grain white rice.
Price
Worth the money spent on this cooker.
If i were to purchase an appliance like this by spending so much money (selling at $230 as i write this review), i want to be a... Read More
First of all the appearance of it shows it's not a cheap product.
Ok, yes this slow cooker is rather expensive but it is difinitely worth the price!
Shipping
To make a claim, you need to ship the unit to delonghi at your cost, and they will ship you a repaired (or refurbished, or new)... Read More
Packaging/appearance
At a glance, you think, "oh wow, that looks really nice!
Competitiveness
But none of them compare to this multicooker, because the multicooker serves to essentially replace 3 machines i already own, p... Read More
