How we checked

westbend.com product page (fetched directly) confirms model 82505, 850W, 6-quart capacity (fully pops up to 6.75 qt in ~4 min), 13"W x 10"L x 10"H, triple-layer heating plate, motorized stir rod with automatic reversal, includes serving bowl lid, and lists $44.99 as the regular price (item shown out of stock direct but sold at major retailers). Amazon listing (B00KL8SM92) corroborates 6-quart capacity, red color, stirring rod, and serving bowl. Some third-party listings (Kmart, Bonanza) report 1000W instead of 850W for the same model — the manufacturer's own 850W figure is used here. No measuring cup or dishwasher-safety claim found in manufacturer copy, so both left blank rather than guessed.
