I bouhght this slow cooker last month, tt was a basic but useful for daily cooking needs. I am using it almost everyday. I use it to cook coup, rice and noodle. Just turn on and leave it. Come back from work everything is done, quite convenient, hope the energy saving is good too.

The cooker is perfect for hot pot. It is large enough and it has enough space to cook more stuff and enough for 6 people. The cooker also easy to clean. The features is slow cook is also good for the hot potto be eat in soft stuff. Good cooker

Love my slow cooker! Such an awesome product, a must have for anyone really. It's so wonderful that come dinner time a nice hot meal is sitting in the kitchen waiting to be eaten :-) I'm super happy with this appliance. It cooks well and I love the keep warm function.

Love this slow cooker! Everything taste better slow cooked. With low and high options it gives you flexibility around cooking times. The cooking pot is nice and heavy which is something you want in your slow cooker. The pot is removable which makes it nice and easy to clean. Have had this slow cooker a few months and havent had any issues.

i bought this from Kmart probably 2 months ago and is working very good so far, it is easy to use with clear instructions, with very cheap price It would be a good choice for every house,highly recommended to all who are looking for cheap and good quality cooker

i love this, its so easy to use and easy to disassemble and clean. consistently well cooked food. easy to program, set and forget. would love to have more recipes in the booklet they give. using online recipes is sometimes a hit and miss and sometimes ends up overcooked. love it

Purchased this from The Good Guys for $49. Only used it a couple of times to make lamb shanks, and on both occasions, the meat was well cooked and fell straight off the bone. I like the simple to use dial consisting of just 3 heat settings. I actually prefer this over useless features that I might never actually use. It's a well made product and I just need to find more time to make more use of it!

Purchased the Sunbeam 5520 used it once and now will return it. Used it once on low 7 hours. The lamb shanks cooked, but the carrots and potatoes (chopped in to cubes did not cook on the upper surface, the lid does not seal and I agree with others that the heat loss is major making it an energy inefficient item. Outside metal was surface was extremely hot making it a very dangerous appliance to use especially with older and younger people.

I recently purchased this slow cooker from The Good Guys as it was on special for $35.

We cooked a chicken casserole in the slow cooker on the weekend. We left it in there for 4 hours on high heat. The chicken was nice and tender as well as the vegetables. We wanted something that we could throw all the ingredients in and not have to watch over it and this worked perfectly for us.

Didn't have any problems with how everything worked. However please note that the outside gets quite hot to touch. If you don't want to damage your bench top i would suggest putting it on coasters.

For the price we paid we would highly recommend this slow cooker. It is a no frills device and does what a slow cooker should do.

I've never had a slow cooker before so didn't know what to expect. After searing the meat in the stove top and sauteing all the vegetables, I transferred my casserole to the slow cooker and set it on high to bring the temp up, thinking I would then turn it to low and cook for the remaining 7hrs. After three hours, I could still dip my finger in so it was only just warm. The outside of the device was too hot to touch though. On reading the accompanying booklet, it states that the slow cooker would simmer on all settings. I definitely did not have a simmer, so put the casserole in the oven and returned the unit. I may have just bought a faulty one.

We bought a Sunbeam HP5520 a week ago because of it's large size, we have had a Kambrook one for a number of years but sometimes it is too small. Anyway we cooked a stew in it yesterday and it turned out fine but my wife nearly burnt herself on the exterior. The amount of heat it looses to the exterior and hence the air is totally excessive and wasted, with better insulation it would cook much more efficiently and use a lot less power, we want to cook our food not heat up the room. Not sure if we will use it again unless we can wrap it up somehow to keep the heat in.

Reliable slow cooker. easy to clean, Basic Features, which is all you need for a slow cooker. Knob has become a little loose after time, however being a simple dial it is easy to work out the setting you have chosen. Best sunbeam slow cooker, gets used at least x2 per week. Can run a little hot on one side

We have 2 of these now, got one 2 years ago that works great and a second one last month to make bigger batches of food. It's easy to use and clean, good value too. Produces really tasty, simple meals. Just chuck it all in, turn on and leave for the day.

Very happy with this product. The removable crock insert makes cleaning much easier. I have never been able to do this on previously owned slow cookers. I specifically looked for a larger volume slow cooker and the size is perfect for the quantities of food I prepare. One negative would be the amount of heat which is lost through the housing unit itself. It becomes extremely hot to touch.

The features are so easy to use. Its easy to clean and its a lifesaver at times. Best feeling coming home from work and the house smells of yummy, cooked comforting food !! Its my personal chef....does all the work for me...and this size suits me perfect as I always buy big cuts of meat to feed us for 2 dinners.

Great size, holds heaps, nice and deep, easy to clean, and I like that the power cord can be removed and popped inside the unit when storing so it doesn't get damaged. This replaced a cheaper one that I had for about 10 years and unfortunately the bowl ended up with a large crack. Hope this one lasts as long!

We absolutely love this slow cooker, throw a heap of food in it in the morning and head out for the day and when you get home, bam tea is served. Casseroles, lamb shanks, soups the lost could go on, best investment for a busy person, couple and espescially a family.

This slow cooker has never let me down.I was that pleased with this brand I returned to the good guys and bought a second one.I have used these slow cookers over and over again cooked many a healthy family meals.I have a casserole cooking in one and soup in the other and freeze these meals.They hold 5.5 litres which is perfect for a couple of family meals.The majority of the time they clean up well in the dish washer.I would highly recommend this product.

We have used a number of times and looking forward to using again this winter for soups, casseroles, stews.
Very happy with the cooking results
Extremely easy to clean
We specifically chose this model as with just 1 control it makes the product features easy to utilise.
Would give it 8/10
