My $20 slow cooker finally gave up after 5 years, right in the middle of a big bean soup.

It just stopped heating halfway through cooking. I had to dump everything into a big pot on the stove to finish it. It was a mess, but the soup turned out okay. Now I'm looking for a new one. Anyone have a cheap, reliable brand they've used for a long time?

My Hamilton Beach one lasted 8 years. Got it for like $25 at Target. Still works, just gave it to my sister.

Got any tips for cleaning the heating element? Mine gets pretty crusty.
