Overview
This is the Cuisinart PSC-650, a 6.5 quart programmable slow cooker sold here as an Amazon Renewed unit rather than new. It offers simmer, low, and high cook modes with a 24-hour timer and switches to automatic keep-warm once the cycle ends.
Because this listing is Amazon Renewed, expect a refurbished unit rather than a factory-sealed box, which is worth weighing against the reviews below describing rust and early failures on some units. The ceramic pot and glass lid are both dishwasher safe, and one reviewer who called Cuisinart directly says the pot tested BPA and lead free.
- 6.5-quart removable ceramic cooking pot
- 24-hour programmable timer with auto keep-warm
- Simmer, low, and high cook settings
- Sold as Amazon Renewed (refurbished), not new
Who it's for
Suits a household that wants a large 6.5-quart capacity for overnight cooking or big batches and is comfortable buying a renewed appliance. Less of a fit for anyone who wants a guaranteed-new unit or has had trouble with renewed kitchen electronics before.
What buyers say
From Amazon customer reviews.
Buyers describe good, evenly cooked results including overnight briskets, and several note the ceramic pot tested BPA and lead free when they checked with Cuisinart directly. Complaints center on build quality: one reviewer's brushed steel exterior stained permanently from finger oils and the metal bowl underneath rusted, and another's unit stopped powering on after only six uses. A few also say the lid knob and side handles feel like cheap plastic for the price.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Ceramic pot and glass lid are both dishwasher safe
- Keep-warm setting holds food without overcooking it, per a reviewer's own temperature check
- 6.5-quart capacity suits families and overnight cooking
- 24-hour programmable timer is simple to set
- Sold as Amazon Renewed, not a new unit

Performance notes
The three cook settings run through the 24-hour countdown timer, then the unit drops into automatic keep-warm. One reviewer who checked the actual temperatures found it settled around 198°F on high and about 148°F on warm, low enough to hold food without continuing to cook it.
