Hamilton Beach 4-Quart Slow Cooker with 3 Cooking Settings, Dishwasher-Safe Stoneware Crock & Glass Lid, Brushed Gray(33240)

Great size for a crockpot - did great for first usage!! The price was great for replacing a dropped & broken old crockpot! I love the handles - both on the lid & base.

This 6 quart slow cooker is a good size for a small family. Not too big or too small. Can fit a whole chicken in it! It has 4 settings: on, off, low,& high, and all settings work as they should. A very easy appliance to use. I recently used it for a chili cookout & it kept chili at a consistent low temperature for hours without burning it. I’m happy with this purchase and know we will get a lot of use out of it. Though it doesn’t have a locking lid, we bought a portable silicone locking band for it on Amazon which made transporting it to & from cookout easier. No spills!

I have NEVER written a review on anything, and I have purchased hundreds of items online over the years, but this slow cooker has inspired me to give my humble opinion. I didn't think there was such a thing as a bad slow cooker. So when my last slow cooker bit the dust during the holidays last year, I just bopped on to Amazon and figured that I would pick up a medium of the road slow cooker for a reasonable price and all would be well with the world, once again. Since I was planning on serving a beef roast for Christmas dinner, I wanted to make sure that I got one big enough and it wouldn't take 15 hours to cook. I quickly browsed through the various slow cookers on Amazon, read a few reviews and purchased what I thought was a lovely cooker - Crock-Pot SCCPVL610-S 6-Quart Programmable Cook & Carry Oval Slow Cooker, Stainless Steel. It was only $50.00 and I figured that it would fit the bill, nicely. Boy, was I wrong! Right out of the box, Christmas Day, I could tell that this slow cooker and I weren't going to get along. It heated up way too quickly, ran HOT the entire cooking time (on low), and by the time I was ready to serve dinner most of it was stuck to the side of the cooker. Dinner tasted slightly burnt, the veggies were WAY over cooked and even after soaking the darn thing for 2 hours after serving the meal, I never could get all the stuck on crud off the sides. Well, needless to say, I'm not the brightest bulb on the tree sometimes, so I thought that I would give this worthless piece of junk another few tries before I finally gave up and threw it in the dumpster. Ah, but now this is where the good part starts...Back to Amazon to look at slow cookers. (I absolutely LOVE Amazon and my Prime membership) This time I decided that I was going to REALLY read all the reviews, compare and then make a logical, fact based decision. I immediately liked the reviews I read for this slow cooker - Hamilton Beach 33182 8-Quart Oval Slow Cooker, Black - but was somewhat concerned by a couple of people who said that it "ran hot". Having had that experience, I didn't want to repeat it, so I continued looking at every slow cooker under God's green Earth. I kept thinking that there had to be something wrong with a cooker that was so big and yet so inexpensive, so I kept looking. After another couple of hours of reading, debating and analyzing, I decided that I would give this slow cooker a try. Well, it arrived safe and sound in just a couple of days, of course. (Still love Amazon) And I proceeded to use it today for the first time. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS SLOW COOKER! The temperature was perfect! The dinner was perfect! The clean up was perfect! And, once again, I am in love with my slow cooker and can hardly wait for Winter so I can give it a really good work out. If you are reading this and considering purchasing this slow cooker, BUY IT! It's absolutely wonderful. Good temperature, great size, fantastic price and all around, I think the best slow cooker I have ever owned. I'm considering buying another one as a back up. Okay, now you know why I never write reviews...There just isn't enough hours in the day. But this product was well worth the time. :)

Works great! Good price. Wish it had clips to hold the lid on when we take it to potlucks.

Working great, cleans up nicely. Essential for the home.

Very nice, bigger in size. Cooks meats excellent. Homemade soups are awesome in this cooker.

We're 76 years old and we shop for value over price. We chose the 4 quart crock pot from Hamilton Beach. It is sensational!!! Attractive, and it stands taller. Avoid the more complicated electronic models like we did. It's a winner, for sure.

This has been a good all around slow cooker. There isn't anything bad I can say about it. It heats up to the levels you need it to. the lid lock is good and keeps things from spilling when transporting the slow cooker. The stainless steel matches all my kitchen appliances. And the food I am able to cook from it turns our really well.

I ordered this item because a taller round slow cooker is more convenient than the usual low oval models. Presumably the original slow cooker was based on a low oval pot which is ideal to fit in an oven and the manufacturers have stayed with convention. I did not notice that it was a 120 V model so changed the plug from north American to UK and used it. The power cord was inconveniently short and was not round as is best for easy cleaning. On setting to warm, there was no indicator to show that it was working. It boiled quickly on the lowest setting so I examined the rating plate and found it was a 120 V model. While packing for return I noticed the pot was not well glazed. There was a small sharp protrusion on the inside and several small round depressions on the base.

I waited a while before I said a review. It's a good product for the price. It seems to work well and it's easy to use and it's a good size.

No timer, no temperature indicator no light showing on or off. Pretty shabby. I''m unsure if it heats enough to cook chicken. Use as pot plant holder.

Very basic slow cooker with just your basic settings, which is what we wanted, given issues with previous, more elaborate slow cooker. Heats well, works well, is a great size for making bigger portions or fitting larger roasts. The lid holder is a bit of a gimmick, and a bit cumbersome, so we don't use it. Recommend it, if you want just your basic slow cooker.

Buena olla, solo cuiden la cerámica interior pero es lo que promete, hasta para hervir elotes jala
