I purchased one of these crock pots because of it's programmable features and reasonable price. WHAT A MISTAKE. After a programmed setting the unit does go to the warm setting and the warm amber indicator lights up - HOWEVER - if you you manually put this crock pot on warm by pressing the "cook time" button - it gets real hot. I tested it with an oven thermometer to verify my suspicion and sure enough - when this crock pot is MANUALLY set to warm it goes to over 300 degrees (high).
I took it back for a replacement but the 2nd one did the same thing.
I contacted customer service (email only) and they gave me the royal run around with canned answers and proceeded to inform me after several emails, that I tested the temperature in an improper manner...
I returned the 2nd one also.
DO NOT BUY THIS CROCKPOT unless you want over cooked and/or burned food when MANUALLY using the "warm" setting. I'd have given this a zero star if that were available.
