Double discount on slow cooker parents call fool
Reach PLC publications promote a double discount on the Morphy Richards Sear and Stew 6.5L Oval Slow Cooker, reducing the price from £74.99 to £58.46 on Yimbly. Customer reviews praise the appliance, calling it an 'idiot proof' way to make family meals, though one shopper warns it may be too large for small families.
As families for the new school and the weekly work routine, a discount offer on a popular slow cooker has caught attention. The Morphy Richards Sear and Stew 6.5L Oval Slow Cooker, usually £74.99, is now priced at £64.95 on Yimbly, and an additional 10% off with the code SUMMR10 brings the final price to £58.46.
The deal is being shared across several regional news sites, including Birmingham Live, which adds that the appliance is 'great for batch cooking family meals.' Though the core details remain consistent, coverage varies in nuance, with some outlet pages including a subheadline that echoes this promotional angle.
The Appliance and Its Specifications
The slow cooker has a 6.5 L capacity and an 'innovative hob-to-slow cooker design,' allowing users to sear and stew in the same pan. The product features a shatterproof cooking pot with a glass lid for easy monitoring, and Yimbly states it can 'accommodate for upwards of 10 starters or eight main dishes.'
Beyond the cooking pot, the prices on other retailers vary: an Amazon listing shows a 4.7-star rating, though no rating yet on Yimbly; the same appliance is available on Amazon, Currys, and Debenhams.
Reviews: Praise and Caution
Direct customer reviews quoted in the coverage are largely positive. Richard says it's an 'idiot proof way to family meals' and praises the tender, flavour-filled results, while Susan describes it as 'amazing' and 'Brilliant value for money.' Another shopper likes the better cooking and the hob feature, Anne's sole caution is that the size is too large for smaller families: 'Cook for four, but it is much too big, you have to half fill it. Don't buy unless you have a very large family.'
Comparable Products in the Market
The article also compares other slow cookers to help shoppers gauge the market. Lakeland's 6.5L Searrang Slow Cooker costs £99.99 with five browning settings and four cooking functions; Argos sells the Russell Hobbs 7L, Soft Navy model for £44.99, which includes a dishwasher-safe ceramic interior. These differences in price and features may be important for budget or space-conscious shoppers.
With the new school term approaching rapidly, the deal seems tailored for busy parents looking to simplify weeknight dinners. Though the promotional nature of the offers, the product's enduring appeal among home education is clear from the reviewers' enthusiasm, even as one caution stands out.

Each row is one claim, attributed to the outlet whose wording states it most clearly. Confidence rates how directly the source text states the claim — explicit and unhedged rates high; hedged, pieced-together, or internally inconsistent statements rate lower. It does not measure whether the claim is true. Status counts the distinct outlets we found asserting it — so a single-source claim can still show high confidence, and a multi-source claim can show medium. Every one of those outlets is named beside the status, so you can check the count against the list. For claims extracted before we began storing that list, the row says so: it names the outlet the claim is quoted from and states that we have not recorded which outlets backed it. Outlets wrote at different times, so a figure that evolves — a casualty count, for example — can legitimately differ between rows; check the "as of" time next to each claim's source.

ClaimA third shopper commented: 'Loving this, so easy to use being able to brown meat on the hob first, good set of heat levels so meat came out so tender. Also good value for money as suitable for a family but I batch cook so it serves its purpose for me. Great colour and easy to clean.'
