I'm thinking of buying a crock pot. What are the pros and cons of using a crock pot?

Pros: 
1. Easy to use and clean up after cooking meals.
2. Can cook large quantities of food quickly.
3. Can be used for slow cooking, such as soups and stews.
4. Saves energy since it uses less electricity than an oven or stove-top.
5. Can be used in any climate.

Cons:
1. Less control over temperature and consistency of the finished product.
2. Requires more storage space than other methods of cooking.
3. Not suitable for all types of foods.
