Use this all the time, but thought it was a bigger "3 Qt" slow cooker.  Good item for price!

We purchased this smaller cooker to complement a larger one that we normally used.  This one is much better sized for cooking for our family of 4.

The cooking dish appears to be well made and is just as thick as our more expensive and larger one.  As some other's have stated, the knob does seem a little flimsy but we have not had any issues with it yet in the short time we have owned this cooker.

I have been pleased with its performance when we have used it and like that it has a "Keep Warm" setting in addition to the typical "Hi" and "Low" settings.

If you are looking for an everyday slow cooker, I would recommend this one based on my experience.  It's a no thrills type item and I've had good luck with Hamilton Beach items - and at this great price it was a no brainer for me.

This is a midsized crock pot and doesn't take up much counter space.  It's fantastic for two people.  I had forgotten how many excellent meals you can prepare in a short period of time.  There are a load of recipes available for delicious crock pot cooking.

This crock pot fits all of my slow cooker needs. I did a little bit of research before the purchase and I am very happy with the decision. I only use the crock pot about once a month. But, if I were to use it more often I think I would prefer one with an automatic timer so it would shut off after a certain amount of time, but I don't think it's that necessary for me at this time.

A great compact rice cooker for a smaller household.  It also has a steamer option which is an added bonus.  Never a problem to cook any kind of rice, just remember if you lose the measurer, that it's 3/4 of a cup.  Purchased as a gift for an adult child just recently moved out on his own and its a big hit.

We purchased this Hamilton Beach Set and forget 6 quart slow cooker and it has worked great for us.  I do agree with other reviews that the capacity isn't really 6 quarts it is more like 5.5 quarts.  It has performed very well and for us, living in our RV, it serves many functions.  My one wish for it would be that it would have a delayed start feature so you could set it to come on at a certain time and thus be ready when we get home rather than having it ready hours before we get home.
It heats very evenly, with no hot spots, it cleans up easily, the probe makes it great to have it done to the set temperature. I am also planing on getting the smaller version of this slow cooker as we enjoy certain breakfast foods that work great in a smaller slow cooker - Steel Cut Oatmeal for one - 6 quarts would be far too big for what is a 2 quart item for us.
I would highly recommend this item.

Great Cooker, on the small side, but only for 2 of us. Easy to use and cleans up well. :)

This Multi-cooker can be used to steam, stew, simmer, braise, boil, roast, and deep-fry. I can attest that the deep frying came out golden brown and perfect. Veggies steam well and evenly.

I really like the basket with metal handles. It keeps crumbs when frying to a minimum. It snaps onto the rim for easy draining, and drains well.

I think the best part has to be that this cooker is dishwasher-safe with the heat control removed. It is great to be able to throw it in the dishwasher, and have it come out clean.

We have used this often in the few weeks we have had it, and will be using it more. It holds up very well.

Pleasant, low frills slow cooker.  We have used it 9-10 time and it cooks meat well and cleans easily enough.  It's also a good value if you are looking for something cheap.

What you do not get is any of the advanced timers or features that would allow you to leave the house all day and not over-cook you food.

I have a 7 quart crock pot and bought this one for smaller meals, and side dishes. It works great, really pleased with this purchase

Think of it as a combination hot-plate, slow-cooker and pressure cooker interacting with a clever computer chip to make it easy to use.  I live alone and I use even the mini at half capacity.  It's nice to be able to reliably make one serving of rice, or one serving of dried beans, or two hard-boiled eggs, et al., at a time.

The down-sides are few.  Sauces and soups have to be thickened with roux, masa or corn starch.  Alternatively, one can use the hot plate (saute') function to reduce.  I miss the ability to both thicken and cook simultaneously as on a stovetop.  I wish it came with a non-pressure glass lid.  They are available after-market, but hard to find in this size.

It's easy to clean.  I was most surprised by how using it reduces my overall food costs.  Because it so conveniently cooks inexpensive foods: dried beans, grains, stew meat, etc., I can buy these in lieu of more expensive convenience foods with also committing myself to hours in the kitchen.  I can get home from work, throw a few ingredients in the instant pot, settle in, check my email, watch the news and beep-beep-beep, the food is ready.  Once you lock the lid, you can walk away from it.  There's an analog pressure indicator to let you know when it's safe to open the lid.

One other caveat, the market for accessories for the mini 3 qt lag behind the market for those for the "regular" 6 qt Instant Pot.  Having said that, the things you'll likely want don't necessarily have to be made for it (steamer basket, glass lid, et al.), they just need to fit.

This pressure cooker is great. I use it at least twice a week. I chose the 3.3 Quart size because I can make smaller amounts. I would buy this again.

I like this crock pot because you can brown meat on the stovetop before placing in the slow cooker which truly makes this a one pot meal!!  We have only had this for a short time and used it about 3 times so far--- so far it is working out great. Very easy to use.  I have no complaints. Price was also good and it shipped quickly.

this is a nice crock pot. it has the secure clip cover and a manual setting that my wife prefers. The down side about this crock pot is, it only has a 2 foot cord.  Really? the manufacturer couldn't provide a 3-4 foot cord.  2 foot cord is very short.

This was purchased for a Christmas gift.  AFAIK, she likes it.  It does work like any other crock pot and is smaller so it's a great size when cooking for 2 or 3 people.

I have used other pressure cookers, this one although small is perfect for cooking for 1 or 2 people.  The additional features this little pot has won me over to Instant Pot brand.

Small size doesn't take up a lot of counter space.  Items cook quickly and it's easy to clean.
