The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less. The bars below show where this model stands against the other slow cookers, electric pressure and rice cookers, sous vide, food dehydrators, egg cookers, popcorn poppers, and ice cream and shaved ice machines we track in this category on price, popularity and size. Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
The PSC-650 carries a 6.5-quart capacity, giving you enough room for a whole chicken, a large pot roast, or a batch of chili big enough to feed six to eight people. The stainless steel construction and silver finish look solid on a countertop, and the touch controls keep operation simple.
At 320 watts and 120 volts, the power draw is on the modest side for a cooker of this size, which typically means a gentle, even heat rather than aggressive boiling. The unit measures 16.34 by 12 by 11.61 inches, so plan for meaningful counter space. The 19.4 lb weight makes it less convenient to carry to potlucks or store in a cabinet.
With 830 reviews and a 4.3-star rating, buyer satisfaction is solid for a refurbished product. Most concerns at that rating level tend to be cosmetic imperfections rather than functional failures, which is common with renewed inventory. If the price is right at time of purchase, this can offer strong value for a family-sized cooker.
Performance notes
The PSC-650 runs on 120 volts at 320 watts. For a 6.5-quart cooker, 320 W is a low wattage, which favors low-and-slow cooking but may take longer to reach temperature than higher-wattage models. Touch controls and stainless steel construction suggest this was originally a mid-to-upper tier product. No preset programs are listed.
What buyers say
With 830 ratings averaging 4.3 stars, buyers are broadly satisfied. That score on a renewed product suggests the refurbishment process is reliable. Minor cosmetic complaints are to be expected with renewed appliances and do not appear to dominate the feedback.

The PSC-650 is sold as Amazon Renewed, meaning it has been inspected, tested, and refurbished. It is not a brand-new unit. Amazon Renewed products typically come with a 90-day satisfaction guarantee, but warranty terms can differ from those on new products, so check the listing details before buying.
Is 6.5 quarts enough for a family of four?
Yes, 6.5 quarts is a generous size that comfortably fits meals for four to six people. You can cook a 4 to 5 lb roast with vegetables or a full pot of soup without crowding the insert. It also works well for batch cooking and freezing portions.
Does the 320-watt rating affect how well it cooks?
Lower wattage in a slow cooker typically means a gentler heat curve rather than weaker results. Slow cookers are designed to cook over several hours, so 320 W is adequate for the intended use. The tradeoff is that preheating takes longer compared to higher-wattage models, but the long cook time compensates for that.
