Hamilton Beach 4 Quart Programmable Slow Cooker with Flexible Easy Programming 5 Cooking Times Dishwasher-Safe Crock Lid Silver

I live alone and I’m not good with too much computer . Recently I was told by doctor I must make my food ( no salt no preservatives etc). Did long research. This is just PERFECT. Easy to use. I work long hours and it cooks than keeps it warm. I don’t have to worry about a thing. AND I don’t need long time to set it either!!! Buying second one in case I want two different meals when my friends come over. Best thing on the market!! Read more

This thing is amazing! I was super picky when choosing it, and being able to set the heat level and the time independently has been incredible. I love it! And I got a really good deal on it -- at the time, it cost less than other options that were smaller and/or did not have timers or independent time and heat settings. It heats up nicely, the heat seems consistent, and the lid fits well and holds the heat/steam in without leaking or bubbling. The cord is an okay length (not super long). It isn't absurdly heavy -- my old one was much smaller and weighed more than this, so it's much easier to move. Cleaning is easier for that reason as well. It doesn't get hot enough to damage surroundings but I did bump my hand against the outside once and burned it. All in all, I'm glad I chose this slow cooker. It's been so nice making yummy things in it knowing it's reliable. Read more

Very Happy with this purchased. It works great and it also looks good. It's plenty big on the inside. Good for the money. Easy to clean. Read more

This arrived nicely packaged within an extra box that fit perfectly around the Hamilton Beach box. It was a tight fit and kept everything in place during shipment, and arrived perfectly out of the box. I could only note that I made a mess when I pulled the slow cooker out of the box, with all the Styrofoam beads that came out statically charged with it flying around. Anyhow, i'm in the middle of using this currently and so far so good. The food smells great and it is clearly doing its job cooking. The pros: Among a small list of things I love about this slow cooker, I feel l just have to mention, it is a very decently, fairly large sized slow cooker. When I was in the store, after i'd ordered this one, I went poking around looking at the various ones they had available in-store and I could only find ones that were smaller with a digital/timer feature, or ones that were 1 QT less that did not have that feature. (Nothing of the same size with that particular feature that was anything remotely close to this in price.) This feature (the digital timer feature) is important for me, personally, because as I have to cook two separate meals- one for me, with my particular diet restrictions, and one for the rest of my family without the restrictions- this is great; I can just throw in my ingredients, set the timer, go to work, come home, and find that it's been fully cooked and ready for me to package up for my meals. Then I don't have to spend twice as long or split my attention between two separate meals cooking at the same time. No effort involved. I've never had a digital/timer feature on a crock pot or slow cooker previously, so this is quite a lovely feature. I don't have to trust that someone else will turn it off when it's ready. As is regular with most slow cookers or crock pots now, another good feature I enjoy is the inner ceramic bowl comes out and is easily washable or maintainable. It is a sturdy piece and I found it very easy to clean. The cons: I only really have one thing to mention, and I don't even feel entirely strongly about it being an issue. The length of the cable or cord that it comes with is lacking. I have to plug this in in an awkward place in my kitchen, rather than where I was planning on putting it, due to the length of the cord. I am not entirely upset nor surprised, however, because my old one was the same way, so I think that is just standard for crock pots or slow cookers. Overall, I really thought and feel this was a great purchase for the price and it is a high quality slow cooker from a brand that I know to be worth purchasing from for other kitchen utensils or equipment. I see some of the other reviews also state that their customer service team is very easy to work with and willing to help- I have not ever used their customer service yet however if I notice any issues I am looking forward to a good experience dealing with Hamilton Beach. I am hoping this lasts at least as long as my last slow cooker did, and looking forward to many years of great, yummy, and easily cooked meals! Read more

I was looking for a Slow Cooker brand but this one was the right size and had the “ go to warm “ when finished feature that was a must. It was a Christmas present and I can’t count the number of times she has used it. As I write this there is bean soup cooking Read more

Easy to operate if you’re at work all day and you have it on high on six hours or medium it automatically clicks to warm so it stays warm until you get home. I use this to meal prep for the work week. I love it. Read more
