Beautiful 6 Qt Programmable Slow Cooker vs Crock-Pot Programmable Countdown Slow Cooker

Both are 6-quart programmable slow cookers that serve about 7 people and switch to Warm when the timer ends. The Beautiful adds five preset programs, a touch display, a steel lid holder and a 300°F max, while the Crock-Pot counters with a 30-minute to 20-hour cook range and up to 6 hours of Warm. Owners rate the Beautiful well at 4.5 from over 15,000 ratings; Crock-Pot's longer brand track record in slow cookers is the main reason to pick it. Buy the Beautiful for preset-guided family meals; buy the Crock-Pot for long, flexible cook times.

• Choose the Beautiful 6 Qt if you want preset Meat, Poultry, Stew, Soup and Chili programs, a touch display and a lid holder that keeps your counter clean.
• Choose the Crock-Pot Programmable Countdown if you need cook times from 30 minutes up to 20 hours and a long Warm hold for all-day meals.
