Best Brand of Crockpot to purchase..?

I am so sick to death of my crockpot burning our dinner.. Even on the low setting, my soups boil rather than simmer - very annoying.
I think the element runs too hot - It's a Breville.

Can anyone please recommend an alternative crockpot that is brilliant..!
After recieving a $300 power bill this month - think need to stop using oven and start using crockpot.

Cheers

I've got a round Sunbeam one with the ceramic bowl which I bought over 20 years ago as a "second" from their factory. It's done me well but it's all I've ever used so I can't compare. I've always wondered if an oval one would be better for fitting different joints of meat? Will watch with interest too.

i have a zip and its okay - it doesnt cook soup as well as i would like but it does a mean chicken! i had a sunbeam one too and loved that. but they only do a small size   
donna maybe you should contact breville, it might be a faulty crock. we have a breville jug and they are very good at fixing problems...they sent me a new jug immediatley after i complained it leaked.

I've got a russell hobbs one and I love it!! I have only tried soup a couple of times but I it does a great chicken. I like that its an oval shape so I can shove all sorts of things in there - half legs of lamb (on bone) and beef roasts as well as casseroles.

I've got a Russell Hobbs oval one that I got thru fly buys about 2 yrs ago and I think it's fantastic!! I've been using it quite a bit to make glazed chicken pieces etc (soooo easy!!!) it easily fits 3-4 large thighs on the bottom. I would definitely reccommend an oval over a round, and make sure it has a low and high heat setting (I would think they would all have that tho), Auto setting is a bonus too.

The element for cooking is usually round the side of the unit instead of in the bottom, thats why it can boil at the sides, I found when I did Maccaroni & cheese it needed stirring more often or it stuck to the sides.

I won a sunbeam round one so I'm waiting for that to arrive to try it out too.

Ours is a Cascade one, but the next one up from the one Consumer recommend - it's 7 litres and oval and huge which is just as well coz there are lots of us. I it, have had it 3 years now and use it all the time.
