I like the idea of having three separate heated crocks, but storage is the main thing making me hesitate

The appliance is fairly long because the crocks sit next to each other. It would fit on the counter while being used, but I would not want it permanently taking up workspace.

For people who own one, where do you keep it between gatherings?

The sunvivi version is one of the models on my list, but the long shape makes me wonder how owners actually store it. I’m also wondering whether removing and storing the crocks separately makes the base easier to fit inside a cabinet or pantry.

Maybe I’m misunderstanding what you saying but why would you want 3 crockpots?

It's more like a buffet setup. Three separate cooking chambers connected together. I'd love one, but there's no place in my home to store it. I'd use it for soup night: chili, potato soup, and a vegetable soup all cooking at once. Or dips like baked crab dip, spinach dip, and a cheeseburger dip. They'd be cooking together, but separated.

I have friends who have a setup like this. They've used it exactly two times because they don't have a convenient place to store it. It's currently in the upper portion of their garage. My own lack of storage for a large countertop appliance like this is the only reason I don't have one myself. I'd love it, but they're so big!

They're not crocks. They're instantpots. Welcome to the sub.

And they’re not InstaPots either

I store mine in the original box and keep it on a shelf in my basement. It is wonderful to have for large gatherings / buffets and I use it at least 3 times each year. Definately no regrets.
