Super práctico y de buen tamaño

No problem with the heat settings. Super simple controls. Warm is warm, low is low, high is hot. It really is that simple. Low will keep it just at the boiling point as long as you leave it on the setting. Warm will keep it just below boiling. High will get it boiling quite hot pretty quickly. The way a slow cooker should work.There are no timers, the display is not digital. The only thing that could really break is the knob/switch on the front to choose the settings. No frills, it just does the job. Just like mom's did growing up in the 70s and 80s. I'm very happy with the Hamilton Beach slow cooker.On to an anecdote!After having been brand loyal to the slow cooker whose name is synonymous with slow cooker my entire life (because my mom was brand loyal to them growing up. the name is very similar to Prock-Cot), I had to make a change. The last two purchases I've made from the major brand have had serious problems with the heat settings. The final straw was when I took a leftover soup (probably a half a gallon) with a slightly cheesy sauce base out of the fridge and put it on the "warm" setting. I was expecting it to be, you know, warm when I got home about four hours later. Instead, it had boiled the cheesy soup so badly that it was burnt and caked all the way around the stoneware sides and bottom. There was nearly no liquid remaining in the pot at all. This was the replacement I had bought because the last Prock-Cot had the same issues with the heat settings.When I went to look for another replacement, I began reading the reviews of the major brand and found that the heat issue is very common. It seems to be mentioned in reviews for every different model of of that brand. Sure it's not a huge percentage of people that are reporting the issue, but keep in mind that only about 10% of people will rate a product, and a much smaller number will review it. Instead, they will tell 5-10 friends about it and just stop using the brand. Having that many with the same problem for an extended period of time seems like a pretty serious defect that is being missed in quality check and should be addressed. That doesn't seem to be the case. The newer ones just seem to keep getting hotter and nothing is being done to correct it. Heck, if I'd left mine alone for a couple more hours, it could have burned down my house.
