I purchased this product over a year ago and thought that it was great. worked beautifully and the dials up front are very easy to use. I use it on our motorhome. Over the labor day weekend I smelled an electical type burning smell. I looked at the crock pot and there was smoke coming from the front panel. I turned it off and restarted it later. The smoke and smell started again. I finished the meal and tossed the crock pot in the trash. Now looking for another brand since I no longer trust Rival.
