I can not tell you which one to buy. But will tell you I would never
buy one of the new oval ones WEst Bend has , again. I am not at all
happy with the oval West Bend crock pot , with a removable bowl. , that
I was so sure I was going to love. I was very pleased with the way it
looked . Couldn't wait to try it out. Three month later I'd like to put
it in the garbage. Everything I try to cook all night is ruined. Cooks
way too hot. Some things are even burned by morning. I put the pot on
low at nine PM and by three AM , its already too done. I had an 800
number for their company but must have thrown it out. Haven't been able
to find it. Nor my book that came with it. Search on here hasn't been
able to help so far. Found lots of sale sites , but no consumer
complaint sites . Good luck in finding a good one. Kate
