I had one years ago, and obviously there have been major improvements since my earlier model. I'm only cooking for two, so don't need a giant... Any recommendations on size and manufacturer would be appreciated

I also have an inexpensive 4 qt Black and Decker. It was under $20 at Wal-Mart Mart. I use it to cook smaller roasts and soups and rice. Not having a timer isn't a deal breaker, but I wish I had spent a little more and bought one with a timer.
Last but not least, I have a 6.5 qt Crockpot brand. It's definitely a workhorse. It has a timer and is great on low, but does run hotter than my other two. It's great for ribs (because of its oval shape) and large amounts of chicken or beef stock.
A good thing to do is look on Amazon at different makes and models and read the reviews. The questions and answers are also useful.
