#1 Crock-Pot SCCPVL610-S
The popular Crock-Pot SCCPVL610-S can cook for between 30 minutes and 20 hours, and it automatically switches to a warming setting when the food is done.
The Crock-Pot SCCPVL610-S is the modern version of the original Crock-Pot that proved hugely popular in the 1970s. It’s from the only brand that can legitimately use the name “Crock-Pot.”

#5 Hamilton Beach Set n’ Forget 33969

This six-quart bowl allows you to cook for five to seven people, making it a great choice for feeding large groups.
Since the rubber seal and clamps help the lid stay on, this slow cooker is easier to travel with whether you’re driving to a tailgating party or bringing it to a potluck dinner. You’ll want to be careful when releasing the clamps as they fly back fast and hard. This could hit your fingers, so be wary.
This slow cooker had average performance in our testing. It was one of the most expensive in our comparison, but that is due to all of the extra features it comes with. It retains a decent amount of water while cooking, so your food shouldn’t dry out when left on for hours at a time. The digital display was a little less intuitive than we would have liked and the timer itself can only be set up to 12 hours, which is fine for most dishes but less than the average 24-hour timing option found on other digital slow cookers.
You won’t find any included recipes with this device, but you can find plenty online to get you going. Hamilton Beach covers this device with a one-year warranty, which is average, but not the best we’ve seen.
