The product dimensions (L, W, H) for the 6 qt and 8 qt look reversed. Is the 6 qt really bigger than the 8 qt?

Not sure where you got your info, but hope this helps your question the unit I got is an 8qt capacity and is 12" diameter. You get what you pay for, no more no less.

It depends on the model you choose. The 8qt deep wall cast iron model has a silmilar foot print with a taller side wall. The shallow wall cast iron model has a larger foot print. It really.will depend on what you plan to cook in it. Pot vs skillet type dishes. Deep wall for whole chickens, roasts,etc.. Shallow wall to saute, make gravy and , or add quartered / cubed up meats for browning...

Amazon obviously screwed up on dimensions. I have both, and they're both #12's, the only difference is the 8 quart is the #12 DEEP. Use depends on whether baking or "stewing". The more shallow 6 quart is perfect for sourdough biscuits, (or biscuits in general). I do more baking than stewing and find the "deep" ovens perfect for raised breads. (Read my review of Lodge's 2 quart Dutch oven.)

I believe the difference are the depths. I would not say the 6 qt. is bigger because it is more shallow but seems to be wider. Where the 8 qt. is less shallow and probably not as wide. I got the 8 qt. and it really is a great size for everything we use it for.

you are right Margaret, amazon had the specs switched. the 6 qt. is the standard oven and the 8 qt. is the deep model, as indicated by the D in the middle of the model number. that is a great price on the deep one.

It is about 6 inches. I wish Amazon would be better about sizes in their copy too. An example being storage containers, capacity in qts, hey how about size!

I do not own the 8qt model and never used one; but, I do own the 7 qt model and I'm very happy with its performance. My previous model was a 5qt commercial and i still use them, but for a smaller batch of work. I bought the 7qt model because it was the ideal size for my work, not too big and not too small.

The inside is 3 1/16 x 2 11/16, the outside is 4 3/4 x 3 9/16 and 3 7/8. A replacement 6 pack is available with 2 inside covers and 4 outside. The outside is not a perfect rectangle, it has 2 convex sides to it which makes it 3 9/16 at it's narrowest and 3 7/8 at it's widest.

It's obvious the product has dimensions much larger than the 6.8-inch one. I think you'll find that the product dimensions given are for the size of the shipping container itself, and not for the assembled product. I've found that Amazon.com often does this, which can be very misleading. They really should be more specific in their product description section.

Yes, mine is a 4.5 qt, as stated in another comment use as a 4 qt you do not want to over filled it. This one I bought does not state on the bottom whether it is a 4 or 4.5 qt.

Thank you for posting your question. According to the manufacturer the dimensions are 18" H x 36" W x 36" D. This information can be found on the product detail page under the "Product description" section. Hope this helps

13.5x8.5x4.4 are the dimensions, and are given in the product description. Quarts are not measurements of diameter. Who are you asking if they have six of them??

The measurement is diagonal and in reality, it is small. Please check the detailed specifications on the monitor for actual W and H. Thanks.

I have found that some advertised as 2 Qt are referring to the size of the bottom pot and the insert does NOT hold 2 qts. Has anyone actually measured this one?

I am not sure but we got one thinking it would fit our 6 QT and it only fits 4 Qt. We were very disappointed. We went to the Presto factory web site and it was much more clear about what fits. you might try that also. Judy

The listed dimensions are wrong and Amazon was told about this problem months ago. The 6.5" x 2 7/8 is correct.
