Size - You can easily fit a joint / whole chicken in this slow cooker. There are only two of us and it's probably a bit big for our needs but would be excellent for a family.
Settings - There are 3 settings, low, medium and high. A lot of slow cooker books recommend starting the cooker on high. That is definitely not needed with this slow cooker as low is a bit, well, high!
Cooking time - A lot of reviewers have criticised the cooking time / thermostat but I don't have a problem with it and never 'crozzle' anything. Yes, if you turn the slow cooker on before you leave the house in the morning and don't eat until say 7pm then the contents will be crozzled. However, I bought a timer plug for mine. I set it to come on on low at around Midday and everything is cooked perfectly by the time I get home from work. I also find that the over eager thermostat can sometimes be a benefit....I've put mine on high at around 3pm for a couple of hours and then low for a couple of hours and again, everything is cooked to perfection.

I have never used a slow cooker and I am always reading forums about how great they are in cooking tasty meals and saving you time. So now I have 2 children and one at school I REALLY need something to help with cooking healthy meals when the kids come home. I find I have little time to prepare and cook meals in the evening when my son has homework and the other usual things to do in the home rush hour of 4-8:30pm.
So I looked at the Which? report and it recommended this slow cooker as the 'best buy' - easy to use, clean and allows you to put a whole chicken in it and cook it very well.
I now prepare my meals in the late evening when children are now in bed and store it in the fridge. I prepare two days worth of food at once. Morning before I leave the house I then tip the food (meat+herbs+onions etc) into the slow cooker & quickly wash & chop carrots. That's it!!! Just 5mins work in the morning. Set it to medium. Later after work at 6pm we return home to a hot ready to eat cooked meal. Just need to grill chippatti or quick noodles and eat!!!
Recommend this book Which you must get if you are new to slow cooking or just want fantastic recipies.
Essentials of Slow Cooking: Delicious New Recipes for Slow Cookers and Braisers (Williams-Sonoma Essentials).
As I cooked for 2 days in the slow cooker the next day I just need to heat up the food.

I've been using slow cookers for about 25 years. I got the 48715 last Christmas (2007) and it's been serving this family of four at least once a week since. Like any other kitchen appliance, some common sense in its use will avoid any of the negatives I've read here.
A slow cooker is not a 'set-it-and-forget-it' device, and they're not marketed as such. Admittedly the 48715 runs hotter than one might expect, but that's true of most modern slow cookers. In fact the one niggle I have with it is the number of times I've inadvertently touched the hot metal base, but that's me being clumsy. There's a warning printed on the front, 'Hot metal surfaces do not touch.' And even at the age of fifty-something, I can still burn toast occasionally.
If you must leave it unattended, a timer socket (for around a tenner) can be handy, but consider how long the raw ingredients will be sitting at room temperature. Better to set it to come on within a hour of you leaving, and to turn off after a set number of hours. The residual heat will continue to cook the contents for some time, and half an hour on high will get it hot enough to eat.
Use the thing enough times and you'll get to know how far you can trust it to be left on its own.
The ceramic bowl has integrated moulded handles to allow it to be carried to the table and sat on a heat-proof mat. I doubt if I'd try to carry a full cooker by the handles on the base with the power cable trailing everywhere. I don't think that's the plan, Stan.
All in all a great investment -- and a great partner for that other energy-saver, the pressure cooker -- this slow cooker has paid for itself several times over in the last nine months. If it dies on me tomorrow, I'll be right back for another.

Cooks well but no steam vent
Does what a slow cooker should do - but as some other people have said it starts to lift the lid and spit out steam after a few hours - because it doesn't have a steam vent. Read more

Not a slow cooker, it burns the food in the high level and it never delivers in the other two options. Cheap looking silver looking cast and the button teared of after 3 months. Read more
