I have two "Kitchen Selectives" (cheap brand from Target) and a "Hamilton Beach", and all work just fine. I've had them quite awhile and use the medium and small ones often. I really don't see any difference. I recall my first crock pot did not have a removable bowl, was heavy, and you had to hand wash it being careful not to get the bottom part wet. They were not submersible. Later I got one with the removable crock. (Am I old or what!) LOL
