My Mum has had a mixer for more than 30 years and it is still going strong - don't know if they are made quite like that anymore. Ohh and the colours - would it be Ok if I got a couple of each so that I could match them to my mood LOL

Yes, choosing the right colour is the hardest bit hey? LOL I wish the KA slow cooker range was a bit more Retro like the mixer etc. My kitchen will be in 1950's pastel colours ;) so unfortunately the current KA slow cooker colour range won't suit LOL It'll have to be stored in the cupboard. Oh and my refrigerator will be a pastel coloured Smeg... goes nicely with the KitchenAid too. I think I am delusional LOL
I decided I want a slow cooker, and asked DH to get me prices on Sunbeam & Breville (his work has an electrical goods store) and he brought home a 6.5l Tempo one - has anyone heard of this brand? I think I'd be better off getting a brand name one, after reading the Choice reviews where the cheaper ones weren't rated well. WDYT?
I need advise too.
I am thinking of getting the Russell Hobbs 6lt s/c.
There are 2 actually that I can get from flybuys in NZ - but that would require waiting for us to go back for a holiday to pick it up - (are they real heavy? maybe this is not a good option for taking on a plane???
Anyway I have read a review of the Rusell hobbs SC600 which says it real good. I have read peoples comments on here too and it seems good. Its oval shape and has 3 settings - high, low and auto. What does auto mean/do?
Its stainless steel i think.
The other russell hobbs one is 6lt and oval with same settings,and its black. I think it might be ceramic?? its the 'abbey lane' range.
Another one that i have read good reviews on is Kambrook KSC100.
Its another 6lt oval - possibly ceramic - not sure...?
Does anyone recognise these as theirs?
What sort of price are they?
Also, like the idea of the ceramics, but read Bathshebas comments a page or 2 back about stainless being better option for health reason...any thoughts on that????
And where is the right place to go to get or have a look at the brands I have mentioned? (im new to oz - dont know who sell what yet :rolleyes:)
thanks.
I have a Russell Hobbs divided sc. I have only taken advantage of the division once to do the main in the larger part and a dessert in the smaller side. Then again I don't really use it as often as I should. The division does get in the way of putting in a large piece of meat (chicken, leg of lamb etc), so it does restrict in the way. I think it would be good for a dish where it would be good to have some without a certain ingredient. I don't like a lot of onion, but DH does, so I could always put onion in one side of the dish.:
Bit unhappy though, after we bought it Russell Hobbs brought out the Reflections range. We bought the toaster and the kettle, then I found they have a slow cooker in that range :(
Tempo Slow Cookers are branded for a number of different retailers. Mine which I purchased from ALDI is called a MEZO.:
I've had it for almost 3 years and it's great.
These days I don't think a "KNOWN BRAND" means much, they all come out of a small number of factories with different names on them.
The nice big oval shape of these new slow cookers makes it great for Roasts such as a leg of lamb, the vegies aren't cxrispy, but they are delicious.

Interested in some help! I have no clue where to start with looking at slow cookers so very open to some advice.
Size/shape?
Stainless steel/ceramic?
Browning option or not?
Timer/Heat options?
Brand/price point of importance?
Hoping you SC experts can help!
TIA
Anyone???
I just got a Breville one... It's got an auto timer so when it's finished it will switch to keep warm fir up to 6 hours. It's ceramic on the inside (removable crock pot) and stainless outside. Digital display.
Exactly what I was looking for, can't remember exactly how much but around $140.

That's a great function, Sammiejane, wish mine would switch to warm.
Mine's a Kambrook. Works well, haven't had a hiccup with it. Paid around $60 I think.
Thanks for the help ladies!!!
