rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author befus - Up until a few years ago, I'd never really used a slow cooker. My mom had a crockpot when I was growing up, one of those 70s' kind of crockpots with a vegetable motif design on the outside, but she hardly ever used it, and I wasn't sure I saw the point...

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author csnover - I feel compelled to get the word out as much as possible about the risks of this slow cooker. I like the various cooking options, the size, and the shape of this slow cooker. And, the cooker body and programs function fine. Even after reading...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Ambrat - I received this as a gift back in 2006 and it's been working just great ever since. Though this is my first crockpot and I haven't any others to compare it to, the unit is easy to use and does a good job cooking meals. This size would be...

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author guru777 - This is a very inexpensive slow cooker and there is a good reason for this. The quality of this item leaves much to be desired. We have only used ours a few times and pieces of plastic are crumbling off of the plastic handles on each side. The missing...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author bowdensimons - Finally, after a long busy day at work. I climb out of my car and with my kids backpacks in hand I open the door to my house. I sigh, and then smile to take a deep breath of the wonderful smell of BBQ Boneless Ribs. "Who cooked dinner? Oh wait...I did!"...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mykidsand_i - I purchased this crock pot after several hours of research, reading reviews and looking at it in the store. I needed a new one that was larger than my old round 5 qt. slow cooker. I have used this crock pot 35 times and have not one...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author dianapinions - I first discovered slow cooker cooking two years ago. I was tempted by the concept of coming home from work with a hot meal all cooked and ready to eat. I have gradually become obsessed with my Rival SCVC651 6.5 Quart Slow Cooker, and would like to...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author dianapinions - Lately, I've been rather obsessed with my slow cooker. When I'm not actually cooking, I'm usually perusing one of my seven slow cooker cookbooks looking for new things to try. As a busy, working Mom, I really appreciate coming home to a hot, cooked meal...

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author banneld - As recent empty nesters my wife and I wanted a small crock pot for two. The Rival 1.5 qt model is a great size for us. I'll give it 5 stars for size and cleanability - but I'll have to give it 2 stars for heat control. Basically, there...

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author lori010 - My previous crockpot lasted 10 yrs with on-going use. Needless to say, they don't make things the way they used to! UNTIL the crock cracked and ruined my pot roast, I loved everything about the Hamilton Beach Store N' Go slow...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author bradshawcl - With every crock pot I have ever had, it is inevitable that something ooze over and get on the element and I have that burned, stinky smell when I try to use it next time. This happens to me every few years. My new replacement this time was the Hamilton...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author biodb8er - The Hamilton Beach 3-in-1 Slow Cooker is fantastic!I had a slow cooker that I used years ago, but it was a bit of a pain. The crock wasn't removable, so it was hard to wash. It was only one size, making it hard to cook more or less as...
