+1 ! I have a little cusinart that sounds like what you describe. I even use it to make mock pulled pork or pulled chicken sandwiches by putting the cooked meat in there with a dollop of bbq sauce. Definitely good dollar value. And the small size means it's easy to toss the parts in the dishwasher. My mom has a full size unit that generally gets handwashed because it'll take up too much of the rack.
