Perfect little cooker
on September 24, 2026
Posted by: DeborahA
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am thoroughly impressed with this cooker. It has many of the functions of some of my small kitchen appliances which means I can use this cooker instead of cluttering the kitchen counter. The slow cooking is superb. I made a family favorite of black eyed peas and ham and just set it and left it to cook. Results were awesome. Next up is rice, so I’m hoping for the same results so I can store my dedicated rice cooker. Very easy to use and easy to see. I love the click to close top and the handy carrying handle. Truly named right—-stay or go.

Awesome Multi-use Device
on September 23, 2026
Posted by: DanielS
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My favorite thing about this device is how many different features that it has. I love that it’s a built-in steamer and rice cooker along with everything else that it’s able to do. I will say that it takes a little long to make rice if you’re just making enough for one person, but I’m still figuring out how to use it.

Convenient, versatile, and perfect for busy days

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using this multicooker for a few weeks now and so far I’m impressed. It’s become one of my favorite small kitchen appliances because it combines several cooking functions into one easy to use unit. I’ve used it for slow cooking soups, making chili, cooking pasta dishes, and even keeping food warm for gatherings.
One of the biggest advantages is the portable design. The locking lid makes it easy to transport meals without worry about spills, and it’s perfect for potlucks, family gatherings, or just on the go in general. The 4.5 qt size is ideal for small to medium sized families and holds plenty of food without taking up too much counter space.
The controls are simple and straightforward. Also, my food comes out cooked evenly every time I use it. The removable cooking pot has handles that make it easy to lift out, and it’s dishwasher safe as well as the steamer basket, measuring cup, and rice paddle, which makes for easy cleanup.
Overall, this multicooker is reliable, versatile, easy to transport, and makes meal preparation much easier. I would definitely recommend it to anyone.

Versatile and easy to clean
on September 18, 2026
Posted by: TeresaM
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We’ve just upgraded our old rice cooker to this digital multicooker. Truly impressive results so far steaming veggies and making yellow rice. The veggies were perfectly done. The rice really impressed me with the fluffy grains. I like the hinged SEE THROUGH lid with its sturdy handle. Selecting from the menu is easy. My only complaint is that there I haven’t seen anything with cooking times for rice, so I don’t know how much time is required. Cleanup is a breeze (wiped the pot clean with a warm soapy cloth!), and I am delighted with the handles on the pot.

Not the best. Not the worst.
on September 16, 2026

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have used this multi cooker for a couple of dishes and it’s not bad. I’m still figuring out what the different buttons do, how to see the duration of cooking different dishes but that only seems to be displayed at the very end of the cooking process so there’s a lot of guesswork involved. I made some rice recently and it took about 45 minutes to cook two cups of white rice and it turned out soggier than I’d like. I followed the recommended two cups of rice to two cups of water ratio and the result was the gloopy rice. You may want to use a dedicated rice cooker if it takes less time to cook than this one. Overall it’s not a bad addition to the kitchen but I might only use if for certain dishes.

Great Multi Cooker
on September 15, 2026
Posted by: RosemaryO
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Hamilton Beach Stay or Go Multi Cooker has 8 cooking functions for each food being prepared. The delay start feature is great for food preparation for cooking in advance. The countdown timer lets me know how much longer until the food is done. It is easy to see inside with the glass lid. Will automatically switch to warm when cooking is complete. The carry handle is great for taking the food on the go. Great for steaming and sautéing also. Easy to clean.

All around great small appliance!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Hamilton Beach multi cooker is one of those appliances. You don’t think you need until you own one. It’s lightweight, portable, and easy to take wherever you need it. The removable insert makes cleaning the effortlessly and the thoughtfully designed plastic handles. Allow you to safely lift it out without burning your hands. My favorite feature is the delayed start function. I can set it in the morning and have dinner ready and waiting when my family gets home. It’s convenient practical and has made meal preparation much easier.
