Question 2

How many watts is it

Accepted Answer

I returned this unit.  Did not work for me.  Lid was not tight, the lid would rock.  And we went with a new concept, a Hamilton Beach Slow Cooker that I am able to sear meat, onions, garlic in, you name it!  I bought the 7 qt and find the weight of the searing unit much easier to handle than that of the heavy crock that Crock Pot offers.  I did not know if I would like the new HB, it has an electric knob, but, I love it.  Am able to cook it 10 hours with a 4 hour warm setting the unit reverts to if I am not home.  We absolutely love our new Hamilton Beach Searing Slow Cooker.  I looked at my HB is 290 watts.  I also looked here on Amazon, and dont' see it.  I got mine at Costco.  It's so good tho, I had to write about it.  Good Luck!
