Wife ordered a new one. Last one was a wedding gift, lasted 6 months shy of 20 years. No idea how many hundreds, nay thousands of meals that thing made. Cord split up close to the base. Yeah, I could tape it up and keep going but my wife was rather adamant that I not.
Got to wondering, what's the oldest crock pot the 'fire still has doing yeoman's work. Ours has been used couple times a week since we bought it.

We are using one about like your’s 20 or so years. Get used almost 2 days a week.
Lots of chickens and pork butts, lots of soups and chili.

I'm on 15 years with mine. It's currently filled with white beans and a ham bone.

No issues with crockpots, but we just killed the microwave the wife's NaNa gave us as a wedding gift[1985]. We also received 3 toasters as gifts, nary one worked.

Lots of chickens and pork butts, lots of soups and chili. Lots of roasts and soups in ours. Toss some meat, potatos/carrots/onions turn it on and walk away. My wife has used the hell out of it for lots of one pot dishes with noodles and cream of whatever and meat/veggies.

Tried a new meal in ours Saturday
a few boneless skinless chicken breast, 16oz of olive garden italian seasoning, about half a bag of parmesan cheese, brick of creme cheese, a little salt pepper and garlic powerder... low for 5 hours. Towards end, boil some macoroni noodles or whatever off to the side, and add them to the pot the last 30min. Add a little more cheese if you like.

Got one for a wedding present.
Been married 15 some odd years.
Crock pot gets used maybe 12, 20 times a year.
At this rate....the crock pot and my donger will wear out at the same time.
I think the crock pot is ahead slightly.....

Ours has been feeding the family for more than 25 years now. There’s lasagna in it cooking as I type this. I did have to buy a replacement lid for it a couple of years back on eBay.

I have two crockpots. A newer one that is used for most meals and an antique that is perfectly seasoned for my green chili. The chili pot has been on my counter for about 28 years and is still going strong.

Back on topic,
Got two
The big oval ones about 20+ years Kmart special.
The original round ones from the 1970's. Still going strong. Grandmother gave it us when we didn't get one as a wedding present. Three settings on this one: Low, Medium and Third degree burns.
