I loved the result. I picked up this model because I like the fact that it will automatically switch to low when the cooking time is up. Unfortunately low is way too hot. I made the exact same recipe in this model that I made in the 84716 and the meat was all dried and hard. I did a little test with the 84716 and 84966 side by side just heating up 1 quart of water each and here is what I found. All my tests were performed with a Kill-a-watt to measure the power and the low temperature setting was used.1. Once the 84716 reached it's desired temp, it shut off until it needed to heat again. This appears to be how it maintains it's temperature. The 84966 never shut off which would explain why it gets too hot. Possibly by cooking more in it, the unit won't get as hot as fast, but unless it turns off from time to time to prevent it from overheating, it'll just get way too hot to...

I started with a four quart model. I wore it out after about 6 years of using it at least 4 or 5 times a week all year (I was a working mother then). I bought a second four quart, and passed it on three years ago to my son when he got married. I still have the six quart I purchased as a replacement (I have hidden it from my son so I can have a spare if I need it). I love this new electronic model best of all. I love being able to set the timer and know it will switch to warm when done. The older models did not do that. The digital age has arrived for my FAVORITE slow cooker of all time!! I have given away the oval standard slow cooker I had (not a West Bend). There aren't many dishes I haven't tried in this slow cooker. This is the best West Bend model yet. This model is pricey for a slow cooker, but I would purchase another one, if I found a good sale price. 24 of 24 people found the following review helpful  West Bend Versatility, By mojo "mojo" (ok) - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: West Bend 84966 Versatility Oval-Shaped 6-Quart Programmable Slow Cooker (Kitchen) I sent this cooker back after only two times of usage. When I received it, it had a scratch where the lid sits on it. I decided to go ahead and keep it because I knew it would happen eventually anyway. After I used it the second time, while hand washing it, I noticed three small spots in the bottom. I kept washing because I thought it was food particles. It wasn't. The coating had already started coming off. I like the size, weight and convenience. Love the digital programming, but at the price, I want it to last longer than it did. |
