The sear-then-slow-cook workflow gets consistent praise, though the delay start limitation and at least one reported early failure are worth weighing first.

Overview
This is a 6-quart, 9-in-1 programmable slow cooker with a nonstick, PFAS-free crock that also sears, browns, steams, roasts, and cooks rice, aimed at home cooks who want one pot for both prep and slow cooking.
One recurring complaint worth flagging: the delay start function does not work in slow cook mode, only in rice, grain, and steam modes, which more than one reviewer calls out as misleading.
- 6 quart rectangular capacity
- 9 cooking functions in one pot
- PFAS-free nonstick crock
- Auto switch to keep warm
Who it's for
Fits cooks who want to sear, brown, and slow cook in the same pot for one-pot meals like chili or roasts.
Pros and cons
- Sears and browns directly in the pot
- 6 quart capacity holds a 6 lb chicken
- Nonstick PFAS-free crock, pot and rack are dishwasher safe
- Automatically switches to keep warm when cooking finishes
- Delay start does not work in slow cook mode
- No lid lock for transport, unlike older models
- One reported unit failure after two months of use
Performance notes
The ceramic nonstick crock handles searing and browning directly on the stovetop-free base before switching to slow cook, roast, or steam, and it automatically switches to keep warm once the programmed time completes. The rectangular 6-quart pot holds a 6-pound chicken or 4-pound roast, and the roast function starts its timer only once internal temperature reaches 375 degrees F.
