Most Helpful Favorable Review

I am happy with my purchase, mostly because I got such a good price. This slow cooker is the perfect size. It's not too big and yet it's not too small. It stores easily and I like that the crock part is able to be taken out of the heating base to be washed. I am a bit disappointed in that I feel it warms...

For the price it's good

But the one I receieved from Sears had it's handle cracked and soon broke off when I took it out of the box. I'd replace it but for $11 and the only sears 20 miles away has it; it's not worth the gas money.

Function wise, it works fine. Had no problems with it.

Hamilton Beach 4 qt. Oval Slow Cooker Reviews

Displaying reviews 1 - 13 of 22 in total

I have been extremely pleased with my Hamilton Beach Slow Cooker. It's large enough for a

large roast or chicken with vegetables. It's great when I get home from work, and smell the

delicious food coming from the kitchen-since the slow cooker has been working all day too. There

have been absolutely no problems to deal with, and it looks very sharp sitting on the counter.

The price is very affordable. An indicator light would be a nice feature.

I've had good success in using this slow-cooker. The features I like:
*The glass lid makes it easy to see how the food is doing without letting the heat escape.
*The crock itself is a nice black color and is easy to keep in the fridge if you want to prepare ingredients the night before or keep leftovers in the same pot.
*The keep warm setting is great for serving food, especially at a party
*The outside is a nice looking brushed silver
I've used this pot when I'm away from home and haven't had any problems. I always follow a recipe's directions for the length of time to cook my meals,...

The Hamilton Beach 4 qt. oval slow cooker with three settings.....high, low, and warm, is a good basic model. Easy to use and easy to clean. The only drawback I found is that the removable ceramic pot gets hot to the touch.

My husband and I needed a slightly larger crockpot and Sears had a great deal on this 4 quart cooker. It works like a charm, on both the LOW and HIGH settings. I used a crockpot bag in it once and that worked great too. We have used it for stew, soup and chili. I have no complaints. The lid and crock are dishwasher safe.

My first cow tail soup is very good.

BASIC COOKER that WORKS GREAT

This is a very attractive but very basic cooker. What I mean by that is it has nothing digital on it, no timer, no temperature gauge not even a power light "which would have been nice". It has a hand knob with off, warm, low and high on it, nice and simple. It has a heavy crock that fits inside and an attractive glass cover. It also has a very attractive silver and black exterior. It does not take up very much room on our counter top, just a little more than a loaf of bread. In fact that is what we store in it when it's not in use.

This oval cooker will hold a larger piece of meat in it as apposed...

I have had a few slow cookers in my time, but this is the best design with features I count on when I am having a busy day.  Just knowing I can set it, forget it and come home to a nutritious family meal means it all for my family!  Hamilton Beach is the best!

Oval slow cooker cooks very nicely

The 4 qt slow cooker is just the right size for a small family or a single willing to have some yummy left overs. I picked this one up to replace a slow cooker I had had for some 15 years. The heat settings are just right and the ceramic crock does not get to hot to the touch when you go to remove it. Don't grab the bottom though. I have now had this item for a month and have used it 4 times and is holding up well. No problems with the plastic knob on the front or anything else. If I could change one thing it would be the plastic "skirt" that goes around the bottom and then up the sides. I would... read full review »

Good

This is the first slow cooker I have and it works very well. The only thing is that it does not have a light indicating that it's working.

The best slow cooker for the price

This crock pot has exceeded my expectations in the way that it evenly cooks our food and is easy to use.

4 stars

Being able to remove the inside helps a lot, it's very easy to clean. Great for the price I got it for. Only issue is that it doesn't have a timer.

Great slow cooker!! Great value!!

Very good value for a slow cooker. Kind of on the small size (4qt.), but big enough for a regular sized pork shoulder. Overall it is excellent.
