Can someone recommend an excellent slow cooker? Some new ones I've tried disappoint.

I've tried a Hamilton Beach 6 qt and a Crock Pot 4 qt, both with programmable timers. Both of them cook WAY to hot for a crock pot. I was using my mom's old Crock Pot but it cracked, so I've been trying find a replacement.

I've been reading that because these corporations are frightened of lawsuits in this suing-happy country of ours, slow cookers now have significantly higher temperatures that bring things to a boil way early, even on the low setting. This completely sucks! It defeats the purpose of a slow cooker completely for me...the entire point is to cook food under its boiling point for long periods, which is how you get the great flavor and texture you can only get from a slow cooker which cooks that way (like they used to, based on my mom's 20-year-old one that just cracked)).

So, does anyone know of any models out there that don't destroy what's great about slow cooking, but instead keep things under the boiling point for multiple hours like a slow cooker should? I love the programmability of the new ones I bought and really would like that.

Thanks!
