Slow Cooker Best Buys From PainFree Shopping:

A slow cooker is a simple appliance, it heats up your food and maintains it at a preset temperature for a few hours.

Most slow cookers look the same and have the same controls, cheap ones are poorly made and can have  problems including leaks and electrical failure.

Our Recommended best buy selection all have a minimum 2 years guarantee and are proven good performers.

Our best selling Slow cooker, the Morphy Richards accent, has an aluminum inner  pot which can be used for searing food on the hob. Warning: Metal potted sear and stew cookers are  guaranteed for 2 years but don’t expect them to last much longer, for longevity get a ceramic pot.

Our recommended best buy budget  round slow cooker, the Andrew James Prestige and budget oval slow cooker, the Russell Hobbs 19790 both have ceramic inner pots.

We don’t  advise spending  a lot of money on a slow cooker, feedback from our customers shows that our recommended models are durable and do the job just as well as more expensive models.
