Love this large slow cooker
on June 23, 2026
Posted by: JessieJ
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Programmable Stay or Go Slow Cooker from Hamilton Beach works awesome. I love that it's a large 7 quart size because when I use a slow cooker I love to make extras so that I have leftovers. I recently cooked a pot roast in it and was able to throw in lots of carrots and potatoes because of its roomy size. This model has a unique feature of a locking lid and it's great for traveling so that nothing spills while it's in the back of your car. The lid is really nice quality and has a rubber ring around it so you can get a nice seal while cooking. It's easy to program and start in the morning so you have dinner ready later that evening. It's really nice quality and I would definitely recommend it if you're looking for a large size slow cooker.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Slow cooker works as expected. I appreciate the ability to pick both temp and time separately as I’ve owned others that did not have that feature. Touch controls are reasonably sensitive and respond without unwanted changes.
Unfortunately the outside of the ceramic insert arrived scratched, the packaging was sufficient so I can only assume it occurred before it was boxed up. Does not affect functionality but took away from the sense of newness for the appliance.
I did read the instructions and found it completely unreasonable that the insert is listed as top rack dishwasher safe. Maybe someone out there has an adjustable top rack but I’ve never seen any top rack low enough to fit a slow cooker pot. That’s just absurd to me. Hand washing for now.

Perfect results with programmable time and temperature controls makes my day.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Hamilton Beach 7 qt Stay Go Programmable Slow Cooker does not disappoint. Pulling this slow cooker out of the box I was surprised with its large size and relative light weight. This is a seven quart slow cooker. It is big. The crock is substantial but the whole unit is light and easy to move around. I have arthritic shoulders and am a potluck enthusiast so being able to heft a slow cooker full of food is a make or break deal. It is a winner on that count.
The first cook was with TWO chickens. They were a bit smaller but this 7 qt cooker handled the job with ease. I started the cook temp on high with plans to reduce to low setting after the first hour. I reset the programmable temp setting to low and waited for the timer to count down and roll over to warm setting. When the slow cooker should have ended the cook cycle, it did not. I monitored the remaining cook time and the slow cooker did finish cooking and rolled over to warm setting. I realized then that resetting the temp setting caused the time originally set to start over. Lesson learned. I assumed the timer would simply count down with the remaining time. That is my only complaint related to this slow cooker. The manual has a lot of verbiage but lacking in regard to settings for time and temp.
The dial for heat level and timed cooking are easy to manage and only require a light touch to change the settings. The setup for time and temp is quick and easy.
The slow cooker heated up quickly and held temperature with a robust simmer on high and a good slow simmer on low. Other than the first time use with changing temperature from high to low setting and that bouncing cook cycle back to the full original time setting, the time sets worked well and as promised. Just remember that changing cook level during a cook cycle requires resetting for remaining time.
The lid latches work well and hold the lid securely on the crock when moving it around. I took this slow cooker filled with beef stew to a gathering and did not have a drop of the broth splash or seep out around the lids. It travels we. Regarding the lid latches, the lid latches are to be used only when moving the slow cooker around or taking rides in the car to those potluck parties. The latches are not to be used during cook cycles.
The automatic rollover to warm setting after cook cycle is great. To be able to complete a cook cycle and have the slow cooker automatically switch to warm setting is especially helpful for those times when dinner time is a moving target. To be able to have a tasty meal that is not overcooked after a long day is almost like a reward. This Hamilton Beach Slow Cooker for the win!

Dinner made easy
on June 2, 2026

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently tried the Hamilton beach programmable stay or go slow cooker. This is a 7 quart slow cooker with a removable crock and glass lid. It features lock down clamps and a rubber gasket on the lid to seal in moisture. It also is handy when you plan to transport your cooked meal. The cord is standard and shorter than I’d like but it’s a safety feature of small appliances. I sat the slow cooker on my kitchen table and the cord was able to reach the outlet below the table. The display panel is sleek looking and very easy to use. You just choose heat level then choose one of the 5 preset cooking times. I really like the ability to cook anywhere from 2-10 hours just by selecting the matching button. I used it to make ravioli and it turned out delicious. It was easy to clean up. I removed any leftovers then filled the crock with hot soapy water to soak over night then it cleaned up nicely the next day.

Great Slow Cooker
on June 2, 2026
Posted by: ChayanneH
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] One of the cool things about this slow cooker is that it was designed to be carried easily. It has built in latches so you're able to hook the lid down with ease and carry to any event. It is perfect for a cook out or a potluck! It has a lot of storage and is great for meal prepping or a family! I really like the button design and all the different settings. Whether I want to slow cook something on low for 8 hours or cook something on high for 2 hours, it is all very easy to use because of the button designs! The silver part of the slow cooker does get very hot though.

Stress-free travel with hot food.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Stay or Go slow cooker has a 7 qt. capacity which will cook a 7lb. Chicken or 5lb. Roast enough for family meals. I like that it is digital so you can't bump any knobs accidentally. Cooking times range from 2 to 10 hours and automatically switches to warm when the cooking process is done. Mess-free vehicle while traveling with the clip-tight lid. Crock & lid is dishwasher safe.

Spacious and very intuitive to set!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a very easy to use product, and has a spacious 7 quart capacity which is a little bit larger than most, and great for family meals. I've actually cooked an 11 lb turkey in this without any kind of problems of fitting it in the pot, or having it cook all the way through. The simple to set control panel is touch sensitive and not mechanical. It allows for cooking for 2 to 10 hours in 2 hour increments and for setting the temperature between low high and warm. While you can't carry it by the handle on the lid, it does lock down very nicely for carrying. I would still use caution and put it on the floorboard of the car when traveling.

Confidence in Prep, Set and Go Cooking
on May 26, 2026

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love Hamilton Beach slow cookers and I had the opportunity to try the Hamilton Beach Programmable Stay or Go 7 quart slow cooker both my husband and I love it. It was an upgrade to our Hamilton Beach 6 quart with more modernized and useful features. The cooking capacity alone is larger than my other model making this upgrade version a wonderful welcome in my kitchen from small meals to large dinner menus for holiday family get-togethers. This is just wonderful where I can make as little or large menus dependent upon my desire, and the bowl capacity can hold it all. I have already made a large roast with potatoes and veggies, spare ribs by slow, cooking them in a simmering barbecue sauce all day plus we made a thick steak with a nice helping of mini potatoes and mixed vegetables, which were all easy prep meals.
There are three temperature heating settings, warm low and high. Additionally, there are five timing options 2-4-6-8 and 10 hours. These are very easy to read and silent. Push button features. You need to hit the center button in order to start the cooking timing options the warm option is wonderful because when you’re cooking time expires, the cooker will automatically move to the warm option all of these cooking and timing features are LED digital switches to clearly show you your choices.
I love the top lid cover, which is another upgrade. My older model had a top lid cover with a rubber band feature to hold the lid cover down in place this Hamilton Beach Programmable Stay and go slow cooker has an amazing flip clip, and lock feature that is built into the handles on each side of the cooker and locks onto the top lid cover in place the top lid cover also has a rubber seal around the edge rim to provide an air tight seal closing so when flipped clipped and lock, the cooker is protected from spills, leaks, rattling, and any movement to the lid. This also makes easy transporting of the stoneware bowl with the top lip locked so if needing to bring it to outside gatherings.
The electric cord is short, but I did not find this to be a problem for me. This makes it easier when storing the appliance when not in use.
Cleaning the inside stoneware bowl was a breeze because it is removable, which makes the process very easy. The stoneware and lid both are dishwasher safe, but I chose to hand wash both.
I love my upgraded Hamilton Beach Programmable Stay and Go7 quart slow cooker model. We are confident to set our food, forget it and still remain worry free. This is the best upgrade and I would definitely recommend this to all my family and friends.
