Cooks really fast, February 25, 2005
First let me say that this crock pot is a huge improvement from my previous 3 quart model. I now have a family of seven and was looking for a slow cooker that was much bigger. My older crock pot cooked very slowly and a roast and potatoes would take an entire day to cook.
I have only used this cooker on the low setting. The liquid is actually rapidly bubbling on this setting. Meals that are supposed to take 8 to 10 hours to cook are done in 5 hours. I would be leary to start something on low and leave it for the whole day planning on a meal after work. I think it would be done before that.
I do like the idea that if I don't have the time to put something on in the morning, I can still do it in the early afternoon and have the meal ready by dinner time. I also like this portability of this slow cooker. It has a strap to fasten down the lid as well as a carrying bag. This makes it ideal to take on picnics, to family reunions, etc.

Model on Recall - Very Bad Customer Support, November 17, 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Hamilton Beach 33475 Oval Slow Cooker (Kitchen)
I got this one from a store, and when I went home I found out on the internet that this model was on recall. I called the Canadian number provided on the web-site, and the lady who answered told me the model is not on the Canadian recall list. So I asked if it were different from the US model, and she said it is just not on our list. I was still skeptical, so I went to the Canadian web-site, and sure enough the model number was on there too. So I called customer support again to figure out what is happening. The new representative refused to help me untill I open the box and give her the number at the bottom of the pot. I tried to tell her that I didn't want to open the box but she wouldn't listen. I decided to return it to the store and not buy any thing made by this company again.

The Worse Crockpot EVER Made!!!!, July 20, 2003
This review is from: Hamilton Beach 33475 Oval Slow Cooker (Kitchen)
After about three (3) uses, the handles on both sides of the crockpot cracked and became unusable. I droped a seven-bone roast in the middle of the floor and burned myself in the process. The only good thing about the "worst crockpot ever made" would have to be the durability of the "pot" itself. That's the only thing that hasn't broken on this ...waste of money!!!
