Hamilton Beach (33466) Programmable Stay or Go 6-Quart Slow Cooker Reviews

Bought this to replace an older model. The updated handles, push button panel features re great.

Great cooker. use it all the time

Easy to use, easy to clean .....the best slow cooker I have ever owned

Great product. I purchased the slow cooker plastic bags to use in it to make clean-up very easy. I also bought this slow cooker and the plastic bags as a wedding gift for someone else. They love it also.

I research things to death before I purchase them and of all the slow cookers in my price range, this seemed to be the best........ and it is! I love this slow cooker and the lid locking mechanism is so neat. Yes, it only has a maximum of 10 hours cook time but that is sufficient for me. It looks really nice, is easy to program, and the 6-quart size is huge. I cooked a 5 pound whole chicken last weekend with two potatoes and had plenty of room. I would truly recommend this slow cooker, you won't be disappointed.

Instructions says that to cook anything you need to fill at least half full. So, it is not possible to make a small meal. You have to put at least 6 cups of water (or 3 quarts). I expected it to be flexible in amount of food. Otherwise, I didn't use it (since the instructions told me it can cook only big meal). I had to return mine back to Walmart. We got an 'Aroma' 8 cup rice cooker instead. Of course it can do anything boiled or steamed as well, like veggies or meat. I recommend that one! (you don't have to fill it half full, just cook as much as you need). I wish there were instructions I could read before buying items online! (that was a queue for Walmart :) )

It was exactly what I was looking for and worked just as I expected it would. I've used it to make chicken soup, beef bone broth and plan to make my corned beef and cabbage for St. Patty's Day in it next week. Clean up is quick and easy and I really like the lid with clips for taking the slow cooker on the go. No spills or mess when transporting it when I used the clips to secure the lid!!

I've made two dinners with this appliance now (in 3 days!) It seems to cook a little slower than expected on low setting than recipes call for and very close to accurate times for recipes that call for high setting. It doesn't burn your food as I've seen complaints about with other brands, it's slow and even as it should be. It's quite nice to look at brushed stainless. The cover is the correct size and clamps on very securely. Its controls are digital but very easy to understand, you don't even have to read the manual it's obvious what they do. It does get a bit hot on the outside so keep it a few inches away from other things on your counter and little one's fingers. Put 4 to 5 pounds of boneless skinless chicken breasts in the pot with an 18oz bottle of BBQ sauce (add just enough water to cover if you're not going to be home to stir it a couple times) before you go to work in the morning, set it on high for 4 hours, it will automatically switch to warm when the time is up.. pick up a package of tasty rolls from your Walmart bakery on the way home and have awesome BBQ chicken sandwiches for dinner. (Have another bottle of sauce on hand to put on after you've drained the liquid and shredded it up a bit.)

Great being able to set the crock pot to cook on high or low and it automatically switches to warm when done, no more having to rush home because of the crock pot. Love being able to lock it down and travel for potluck parties.

Couldn't ask for a better electric slow cooker for the price! Thanks Hayneedle!
