 Same problems with shoddy handles and temp knob Oct 26, 2003
By Sue Horn
"Sue"
I love to cook in crockpots. I am a working mom and wife and need to be able to use a slower cooker a lot. We bought this one because it is so pretty and seemed to be good quality. After four uses, the handle on the left side cracked and half of it broke off. The right handle is cracked as well. The temperature knob was the next to go. Since I like the look of the pot, I was going to take advantage of the good price on Amazon to buy another, but after reading the other reviews with the same problem, it appears that Rival is not going to do anything to fix these known defects. Do not buy this pot!!!

NO STAR RATING Nov 24, 2002
Since April, 2002, I have had to replace this item twice. All three of the crock pots have the same dangerous defect. The handles on the pot crack and ultimately break and fall off. Fortunately, I was not carrying a pot full of hot food when the handles actually broke off. However, this is a definite possibility. Also, the pot gets too hot, I had a blister on my hand from accidently touching it. This is a dangerous product and I have reported it to Consumer Product Safety Commission for investigation.

No stars for this Crockpot Nov 03, 2002
By Sue Wiggins
This is the second 4qt Rival Crockpot I have had break. The handles cannot withstand the heat and if moved they splinter and break posing a definite safety issue. After the 1st one broke I had the company send another one and after just 4 uses it also broke. This product needs serious investigation.
I also own another larger crockpot from this company and have had no problems with it after 6 years of use.

Bad customer service Oct 03, 2005
By Poookie
I had this pot for about two months, using it once a week, when one handle, then another, cracked. The sides are too hot. It spits out the sides of the lids. Food burns to a crust on the sides. I have had larger, older, Rival pots last for years. Lately, I don't know why they just feel cheap. I also had the bottom of the matching 5 quart size suddenly unravel while I was carrying a crock full of meatballs from the kitchen to the dining room and the crock fell to the ground with the heating element exposed. Always used pot holders, always filled up food to over halfway. Did all as expected, but the screws unravel or broke inside between the layers of the aluminum sides. Can't buy replacement parts easily. Can't reach a person at the Rival website.

 Wonderful and Beautiful! Feb 03, 2002
What a great crockpot! I never liked using my old crockpot because it was big and ugly, but this one is so pretty that I don't mind leaving it out at all! It matches our decor wonderfully! And with our busy life (We both work and have a small son), it is the perfect size! We always have plenty of room and usually can make enough to eat the next day. The first day I used it I made a roast, which turned out great. Today I made BBQ chicken and again it was wonderful. I can't say enough good things about this product!
