Summary Review: A fantastic basic slow cooker. Simple to use with high, low, and warm settings, this cooker is larege enough to handle everything I’ve tried to cook in it. Standard recipes I’ve used have all listed the necessary cooking time perfectly.
Pros:
• Large capacity
• Simple to use; basic controls
• Even heating; recipe times always work perfectly
• Easy cleanup in the dishwasher
• Great value for the price
Cons:
• A bit unwieldy in storage due to lid clips
I bought the Hamilton Beach Stay or Go 6-Quart Slow Cooker (33262) five years ago and must say it has performed beautifully, especially considering the price. It gets heavy use from me, once or twice a week EVERY week. It’s big enough for me to cook just about everything in it, from 6 quarts of chili to a good-sized roast. The clips on the side are used to secure the lid when you transport the slow cooker (not used when cooking), and have worked well the time or two that I’ve used them. For standard sloshing around in the car it has been fine with no leaks at all.
I’ve found that following many recipes I find on the Internet, the suggested cook time works fine, with everything cooked through but not over-cooked. I’ve cooked all your standard slow cooker recipes in this, from beef stew to chili to cheese dip, and everything’s come out perfectly. As an added bonus, Hamilton Beach’s website has great recipes, especially their Slow Cooker Gridiron Chili, with which I won the annual chili cook-off at work. I routinely store leftovers in the fridge still in the crock with the included lid on top; the rubber gasket seals it just fine. Cleanup is super simple, too. Just rinse out the crock and the lid and stick them in the dishwasher.
The only drawbacks I’ve seen over the years are it takes up a good bit of storage in my medium-sized apartment kitchen cabinet, mostly caused by the clips for the lid, which stick up and out to the sides.
Overall I’m very pleased with this slow cooker, and if I was in the market for another one I’d buy the Hamilton Beach Stay or Go 6-Quart Slow Cooker again without hesitation. Highly recommended!

Perfect for Entertaining at Home or Taking on the Road
Slow cookers are great for cooking chili, soups and stews, but these "one-pot" meals are not the only things that slow cookers do well. They are also perfect for making side dishes and dessert, especially when your main oven is full, and they are great for foods that are not naturally tender, such as inexpensive but flavorful meat cuts. If you choose cuts such as chuck roast, pork butt, short ribs or chicken thighs, you won't be disappointed with the results of low and slow cooking.

Great product!!!
I love the lock feature on this slow cooker!! It is great to store and to carry the cooker with food to bring outside or on a trip! The features are great and the size is perfect!! In addition to pork tenderloins & pot roasts, I make many soups which include chicken noodle, bean and sausage & chili! All are delicious. I use it often & highly recommend this product!
