4 quarts is a gallon. It's hard to find a crockpot smaller than 6
quarts so 1.5 gallon is the smaller ones.

I have a mini here also among my 3. I call it 'Baby Crock' I believe
it is a 1.5 quart (6 cups). My main use one is called 'Junior' because
he's middle sized. Standard 6 quart (1.5 gallons).
