Hamilton Beach Portable 7 Quart Programmable Slow Cooker with Three Temperature Settings, Lid Latch Strap for Easy Travel, Dishwasher Safe Crock, Black (33474)

Great meals in only 8 hours. I snagged this up during a Christmas sale because the crock pot we had was on its last leg (handles broken etc) and the control nob never worked right.Hamilton Beach has a good reputation for budget kitchen appliances so I figured why not. I’ve had good experience with them for decades.A couple reviewers said the lid exploded but I’m not buying it. How can a lose fitting glass lid explode on a slow cooker? Makes no sense to me.This model works fine. The temperature control along with the timer make it very usable. Easy to understand even without reading the instructions. The ceramic interior is reasy to clean.Crock pots make for fool proof meals. You can through just about anything together and it comes out great.Highly recommended

Easy to Use, but DAMN it’s hot on the outside. I’ve only used it once since receiving it, but from using it the one time it seems really good. The only thing so far that I have an issue with is that it is extremely hot on the outside. So make sure when you cook with it keep it away from anything that could possibly melt.

Great results every time. Cooks at proper temperatures, fantastic results. Cleaning needs soaking, food sticks, but seems normal because of cooking time. I haven’t used lock feature, but love I can check temp thru hole with probe without lifting lid.

7 Quart Slow Cooker. This is a nice large slow cooker. I needed one and this is the one I purchased. We hope to make a lot of good recipes.

Idiot proof and highly functional. Much more reliable and easy to use than our Insta-Pot. Yes, it takes a lot more time, but the flavor is so rich because of that time. This unit is exceptionally easy to use, is flexible, and the build quality is very high. I must warn you the ceramic insert is very heavy and only a strong adult should wash/handle this because it is slippery as heck, which makes it easier to clean, but I keep fearing I will drop it while washing/drying it. I love my slow cooker and love my chicken stew even more, but we use it for everything from chicken, chili, pulled pork, etc… and it has never failed to deliver on flavor and ease of use.

Only worked one time. Worst product I ever bought. I’ll start on a positive note. Our old Hamilton Beach slow cooker has been going strong for over 20 years. The only reason I bought a new one was to get one that was larger and programmable. Well, the new one came in and only worked one time. The second time I used it, I put chicken and other ingredients in it, set it, and left for the day. When I came back, the chicken was raw and I had to throw everything out. The brand new Hamilton Beach slow cooker quit working after one use.Thankfully, Amazon customer service is amazing and they rushed me another one out immediately and credited my account for $10 to make up for some of the cost of the food I had to throw out. I assumed that Hamilton Beach was a quality product and I just got a dud. Imagine my complete and utter disappointment that the brand new slow cooker they rushed out to me worked for about three hours, then quit. The lights were still on, but it had stopped heating. I switched to another outlet, thinking maybe it was a problem with the outlet, even though I knew it was getting electricity–the lights were on. It did not work in the other outlet. I plugged my old slow cooker in and it works great, so I know that it is 100% this piece of crap brand new Hamilton Beach slow cooker.I cannot express how disgusted I am that between two brand new Hamilton Beach slow cookers they only worked long enough to make one meal. I will never buy another Hamilton Beach product and suggest you do the same. Final rating, NEGATIVE ONE STAR.To end on a positive note, I would like to reiterate that Amazon customer service was amazing to work with both times. They are taking care of me, no questions asked.

Exactly what I needed. My other crock pot I had for years developed a crack in the ceramic and it was my favorite but sadly it was time to replace. I love this new crick pot for all the features, especially the lid lock, which saved me having to buy a separate carrier and it’s so easy to put in place before transporting in my car.I love the timer features as well to help me track when it’s time to go to he next step for certain recipes I’m making. Only down side is I prefer a deep round pot like my last one but this one is very solid in quality and maintaining even temp while cooking.

Great crock pot. This is a good size crock pot. It is large enough for a pot roast. I like the digital hours setting. The pot actually counts down as it cooks. I thought it was a great price for the money. The lid lock is just a rubberized band. Our meal turned out delicious.

Great size. Love this crockpot. This was a great value. We purchased it to combine with a smaller 4 quart one we already had so we could make meals for a card group of 16-20 people. Perfect! It heats quickly. Setting time and temperature is so easy. The countdown of hours it has left to cook is a great bonus. The wife now uses this one for all the food she fixes in a crockpot. Would definitely recommend!

Faulty Crock Pot Ruined my January. I’m just a tired mom who needs her slow cooker to do it’s job.Let me set the scene. It’s March 2024, and the crock pot we were gifted at our wedding 12 years prior had died. I got on Amazon and found this Hamilton beach slow cooker and ordered it. I used it 3 times, then 2 months in it stopped working. I turned it on, the light came on, I put the food in, and then hours later I realized it never heated up. The first time it happened I googled how to reset it, and I tried, but the next time I used it the same thing happened. I reached out to customer service and they sent me a new one. So roughly June 2024 I get this new one, and I used it a handful of times with no issue.Fast forward to January 2025, me and my husband and the kids have been sick since before Christmas, it’s dark and cold, seasonal depression is setting in BAD, and my debit card information keeps getting stolen. So I just cannot do this right now and I desperately need the slow cooker to do the heavy lifting for dinner…and I load it up with a chicken enchilada recipe. All day I’m looking forward to dinner being done without having to stand over the stove because every day that winter continues in Ohio makes me feel more and more dead inside.So I checked the slow cooker 30min before it was done because I needed to add the tortilla strips and cheese. As I approached, I became acutely aware of two things, 1) I did not smell food, and 2) there was no condensation on the lid. Immediately I pulled the lid off and gazed down into the slow cooker to find raw chicken sitting in a puddle of ingredients. In an act of sheer desperation I grabbed the thermometer and thrust it into a chicken breast…hoping, praying that this was not happening again. As soon as I saw 99F pop up on the display I yelled and launched the thermometer into the sink. I unplugged the slow cooker and set it aside.Later that evening, after my 8 year old presented me with a comic strip he drew that captured the slow cooker fiasco and a perfectly illustrated picture of me with my head thrown back and a word bubble that said “THIS CHICKEN IS RAW!,” I sat down to message customer service again. I shared the ongoing saga with them, asking if they could please fix this problem in a way that did not involve sending me the exact same make and model of faulty slow cooker which would undoubtedly ruin dinner again in my hour of existential crisis.I heard back from customer service 8 days later. They said they could not refund me because I was out of the window, but they could go through a warranty claim and send me a different model as long as I still had the slow cooker.Welp….that pot full of salmonella took it’s final voyage into the trash can that fateful evening, which I figured was fine because they didn’t ask for it back the first time. So here we are.
