The product I received was dead on arrival. I plugged it in to all three of my home desktops to confirm. I did not order another.

I had to send the stupid thing back. Luckily Amazon makes it easy to do. We used it twice and each time it got way too hot on the low setting. Husband put a pot roast on low and it was done 2 1/2 hours later, and like rubber. Emailed the company, they stated that low and high are the same temp and some yada yada about cooking cycles. They had me test the temp of just water after 4 hours on high. 200 degrees. I guess that is what it should be, but as an additional test, I put the crock on warm, came back an hour later, and the water was 210 degrees. So it just continued to get even hotter, while on warm. Company says nothing is wrong. I just gave up and sent it back. EDIT:This was actually the review of my wife. I don't have a husband :-)

I am a physician( M.D.)starting my fourth bottle of this product, which I started on the advice of my physician brother-in-law. I am 69 years old, very healthy, but have a torn medial meniscus, but with minimal symptoms: squatting is nearly impossible. Soon after starting the third bottle, I started having a lot of intestinal gas (flatulence) and diarrhea, which have worsened as I started my fourth bottle. I finally stopped these pills, and after two weeks of "wash out" am back to normal. I have had no improvement from this product and nothing but grief!
