Rival CrockPots have flooded the market for years. I think quality control
is more to blame, as some of the units are perfectly fine and last for
years, while others cook too hot or too cool or break down within a short
time. The last one I bought was an 8 qt. Rival CrockPot and I've had very
good luck with it, and the temperature seems to be accurate. I had one
previously that gave up the ghost after 3 uses.

No, I don't have a Hamilton Beach, but that looks like a nice unit. I had
misunderstood what you wrote and thought you were saying that perhaps the
Hamilton Beach units were being made by Rival. My mistake.
