As the weather turns cold across Canada, soups, stews and pulled meats are back on the menu, and a slow cooker is one of the cheapest ways to put dinner on while you are at work. Amazon.ca lists hundreds of them, from basic dial models to programmable ones with probes. We looked at the listings and customer reviews for five popular, well-reviewed options at different sizes and prices. Prices were accurate as of Oct. 24, 2026, and may change.

Crock-Pot 4-Quart Classic Slow Cooker

Best for singles, couples and small households that want the lowest price. The listing shows $29.98 (down from $34.98), a 4.6-star average from about 1,800 ratings, and more than 1,000 bought in the past month.

• 4-quart (3.8-litre) capacity, which the listing says feeds four or more
• Three manual settings: high, low and warm
• Removable stoneware that is oven-safe to 400 F (200 C)
• Stoneware and lid are dishwasher-safe

Reviewers rate it highly overall for simple, no-fuss cooking. One critical reviewer reported that ceramic pieces fell out of the box when it arrived, so check the crock as soon as it shows up.

BLACK+DECKER 7-Quart Dial Slow Cooker

Best for families that want a big pot without a big price. It is listed at $64.48 with a 4.6-star average from about 5,500 ratings and more than 100 bought in the past month.

• 7-quart stoneware pot, described as serving eight or more
• Low, high and warm settings
• Cool-touch plastic side and lid handles
• Tempered glass lid so you can check on dinner

Buyers like the size and the price for large family meals. Some critical reviewers called it cheaply made, and one said it cooks slowly, so plan extra time for recipes that need to come to a boil.

Hamilton Beach 6-Quart Slow Cooker with Folding Handles (33608)

Best for people who want a mid-size cooker that stores easily. It is listed at $64.99, with a 4.7-star average from about 660 ratings and more than 50 bought in the past month.

• 6-quart capacity, listed as serving seven or more
• Folding handles for carrying and storage
• Removable stoneware crock and glass lid that the listing describes as easy to clean
• Three heat settings and a manual dial, per the listing

Ratings are strong, though the sample is smaller than for the older models. A critical reviewer said the cooker worked properly but the packaging arrived damaged.

Crock-Pot Cook’ N Carry 6-Quart Oval Slow Cooker (SCCPVL600S)

Best for potlucks and anyone who carries dinner to someone else’s house. It is listed at $76.00, with a 4.7-star average from more than 17,500 ratings.

• 6-quart oval stainless steel body, listed as serving seven or more or fitting a 6-pound roast
• Locking lid with a gasket for a tighter seal when travelling
• Manual high, low and warm settings
• One-pot cooking, with a removable stoneware crock

The large number of ratings makes this one of the better-proven choices here. Several critical reviewers said the lid does not seal as tightly as they expected, which one blamed for slower cooking, and one noted there is no indicator light.

• Simple manual controls with low, high and keep-warm
• Full-grip handles for carrying
