How to choose
Start with capacity and settings
Every pick here holds 6 quarts, so capacity will not separate them. Settings do: the bella uses low, medium and high, the West Bend uses low, high and warm, and the MAGNIFIQUE uses high, low and warm, and the OLIXIS uses high, low and warm. Programmable cooking also differs: the MAGNIFIQUE and OLIXIS set timers, while the bella and West Bend use manual controls.
Timers and keep warm
A timer lets you set a cook time and walk away, and keep warm holds food at serving temperature after cooking ends. The MAGNIFIQUE timer runs from 0.5 to 12 hours in 30-minute increments and switches to warm automatically. The OLIXIS timer runs from 4 to 12 hours and also switches to warm automatically. Compare the timer range against your recipe, since the MAGNIFIQUE covers shorter cooks from 0.5 hours and the OLIXIS starts at 4 hours.
Cleanup and weight
Parts that go in the dishwasher ease cleanup: the bella, West Bend and OLIXIS list pots and lids that go in the dishwasher. Weight also matters for storage: the bella weighs 10.6 lb, the OLIXIS 11.5 lb and the MAGNIFIQUE 11.7 lb. Check the cord too: the OLIXIS lists a 35.43-inch cord, and the bella lists a cord wrap for storage.
