This is probably one of the best slow cookers on the market today. Quality made and has all the functions that you need to cook a great meal.

Pros: Handles are nice and seem sturdy. The controls are easy to understand and work as they should. I especially like the auto warm function of the controls. It beats having to manually keep track of the time. The crock is finished nicely and is plenty thick enough to retain the heat as it should. The unit looks attractive sitting on the counter. The lid fits ok but I personally would like it to be a little tighter. However it is adequate for a slow cooker. Cons: The outside of the unit gets really really hot. Make sure nothing that can melt is close to it like a bread wrapper or plastic bowl etc. Also it has a very short cord so hopefully you have an electrical outlet where you want to sit it. I didn't :- (

Easy to use and clean. The timer is perfect Highly recommend

On receiving the slow cooker, I was washing it before using it when the lid shattered. I have since returned the product to the store. I have tried to contact Hamilton Beach customer service. Have not been successful.

I made my usual Chili last night. Woke up with it burnt. I usual set it on high for 6 hrs. And its perfect.
