ALDI Lumina NSC-650

Best slow cooker I have ever had – I use my slow cooker for stews, roasts, cakes and making fudge. Love it. Best slow cooker I have ever owned. Love the timer and that the settings are digital Show details

Time bomb – I have only used this explosive 2 times in 5 years its to big any way after reading all the reports on faulty lid adios mauchachos.The glass is thin and my rice cooker lid is thicker we should get a petition together on here and stick it up Aldi.True Cheers Jeffrey. Show details

Works ok but too big for our family – I haven't had any trouble with this since my partner bought this home from aldi. Problem is it's so big when you cook a small meal in it the meal gets dried out easily and is nowhere near the succulent meal you expect from a slow cooker - plus it takes too much space in my small kitchen  Show details

I gave my daughter one of this, and she had to discard – As I said i gave my daughter one of this and she had to discard this in the garbage, it only worked once and the rest, was not working at all, I dont know if it was bad luck or simple as not working anymore. But in future will not buy this brand, just in case  Show details

My lid exploded also – Last night whilst the Lumina slow cooker had one hour to go, I heard a loud pop whilst I was in the kitchen. Fortunately I was on the opposite side of my kitchen, I turned immediately to see the lid had exploded and our dinner had the lid knob and shattered glass fall into the cooking meal. Glass had also shattered across the kitchen bench top. I… Read more

was disappointed firstly: no dinner on a cold night that had been cooking slowly for 4 hours and secondly, that it was an Aldi product and therefore backed by a certain level of reliability. The cooker had only been used about 6 times.

Glass lid shattered – Glass lid shattered and propelled glass all over my kitchen. Aldi were very quick to refund me. But I think the product needs to be recalled. I had used it about 10 times in 3 years without any issues but this one time was horrible. Thank goodness myself and my daughter were in the other room.

Lid shattered also!!! – Had the slow cooker for AGES and loved it. Went to use it one morning and the glass lid had shattered in the cupboard. Now I know what the muffled bang was I heard the night before - I put it down to something falling in the pantry. Looking for a replacement slow cooker at the moment, so thought I'd check the reviews to see if anyone else had… Read more

problems with the lid. Reading here it seems like 99.9% had the same problem. Such a shame, as I really liked it - heated perfectly and was a great size.

Awesome slow cooker – Such a great SC. Really effective and good settings. The high cooks quickly but not too hot, the low is good too. Bought it second hand two years ago and would use it 3 times a week minimum, it's still going very strong.

Lack of customer service, poor quality, glass lid shattered – Slow cooking was okay, did not burnt food or seen overflow of liquid whilst slow cooking. The only problem is the lid, the glass lid shattered whilst I was cooking food. Temperature was not nothing different from previous times I used it. Went to Aldi's Quakers Hill to report as it was 6 months old back then. I was told to contact supplier but has… Read more

not heard from them either. I wrote to Aldi's and made a complaint and no response was receive nor an acknowledgement of receipt was sent. I had other products bought from Aldi's and has similar experience......poor customer service, lack of quality control, risk management is unheard of as they are still selling these items though poor reviews and complaints were posted or emailed. I stopped buying products from Aldi's since then. They don't deserve the business. You get what you paid for Should have bought trusted products elsewhere

great slow cooker – I have had this slow cooker for about 2 years and never had a problem with it. I usually use the high setting to cook things for dinner and love to be able to set and forget. Great results and for the price it easily matches some of the more expensive slow cookers I have tried over the years. inexpensive, 6L capacity

Best Slowcooker ever! – I have my 'Aldi Slow cooker' now since almost 6 month and I am using it 3 to 4 times per week. I purchased a fantastic slow cooker receipe book fr Target with dishes that are delicious...never had dried out food. So far no issues with the lid....that would be a great loss.... Size, ease of use, timer Nowhere to be found to how many degrees it actually heats up on the different settings Show reply

So far, so good (knock on wood) – I have had my slow cooker from Aldi for about 2 months now and used it 5 times. I have kept it on low for almost all my cooking and the food has turned out great. Thankfully, my lid has not exploded (yet?). I am very nervous based on all the other reviews, but really like the digital settings and size. I have done 2 curries, a chicken bake,… Read more ·  2

soup and chilli. No issues at all to report thus far, but I am certainly wary and won't leave it on when I go out b/c of the other reviews. Very gentle with the lid too. Digital option with low, high and warm plus timer.

LID EXPLODED – Used if for a week or two - fantastic. Large capacity, great lamb shanks, turkey legs, osso bucco, all good. Great winter food. BUT went to get it out of the cupboard to use again - opened the cupboard - didn't even touch it - the lid exploded into hundreds of pieces. Sharp pieces. VERY DANGEROUS PRODUCT. THIS PRODUCT SHOULD BE RECALLED. Was big and worked well for a week. DANGEROUS - lid exploded randomly.

Why hasn't this been recalled? Lid shattered – Why hasn't this product been recalled. We had finished cooking, it been off on for more than two hours and the lid shattered. As I'm not the first to report the lid issue, this should have been recalled. How many haven't been reported just because "you get what you pay for". There are still safety standards! Dried out food even on lowest setting

Glass lid shattered – This product had huge potential. It was reasonably priced and looked like it was good quality. It was heavy and ceramic dish large enough for a whole family. But Beware!! Lid literally shattered. It did not simply crack - it shattered into hundreds of tiny pieces - not safety glass - but sharp shards. Reasonable price. Felt heavy - with lovely ceramic, large dish. Design / manufacturing issue with the lid.

Outer cover extremely hot – I was recently given the Aldi Lumina 6.5lt (brand new) slow cooker... is the outer cover supposed to get extremely hot,as I have never used a slow cooker before I thought it only heated the internal ceramic bowl or do all slow cookers heat up on the outside as well.

Lid exploded! – I guess you get what you pay for! Heard a huge bang and found the lid had exploded into a million pieces. It had only been on for a couple of hours. The stainless steel insert stained very easily & I found the meat would dry out. Would never buy another slow cooker from Aldi.

Slow Cooker lid exploded – Lumina NSCD-650 Was horrified when the lid on the slow cooker exploded. Sending the handle into the air and hundred of pieces of glass into the food and the kitchen. The Cooker had been on for only 2 hours and on low. Luckily no-one was hurt. I would not recomend this. The idea of being able to slow cook dinner. The lid exploded. Luckily no one was injured.

Worst slow cooker ever! – With the Lumina Slow cooker i guess you get what you paid for. An absolutely horrible, dangerous product. As like many other people with the same cooker the lid of the cooker exploded. The lid was sitting on the bench next to my cooked dinner when all of a sudden the lid exploded into thousands of pieces (into the dinner). The lid was not hot nor… Read more

cold it was at room temperature and could be touched. I am just glad this did not happen while it was left on all day to cook when i was out and that my children were not near by. This cooker is not recommended at ALL!

Cheaply made, exploding lid, dangerous.

Suits me perfect – Not expensive, reliable, easy to clean and store. Best quality for the cost. It's cooking perfectly, but doesn't give massage, no weather forecast and it's missing the texting keyboard. No wonder some people are unhappy with a cooker that just cooks. inexpensive and reliable, 1 year warrantee, stylish  Show reply

Terrible experience – I purchased this item from Aldi about a month ago & have used it approx 6-8 times. Didnt know any different as this is my first slow cooker however agree that the glass lid did not fit properly and was very thin. Last night I came home to the lid fully shattered and a ruined dinner... The lid was in place but fine glass particles around it &… Read more

obviously in my soup. In this case I feel 'you pay for what you get' & bad luck and $50 for pizza last night.

If you own one of these I dont think I'd leave it on while away from the home due to the lid & it would tend to over cook if on from 8am til 5pm. Sorry Aldi. Cheap Poor quality lid.

Very Disappointed – I have used it for the last time because the meat around the sides and on top dries out- took 10 hrs on slow to cook quality blade steak. How slow is slow- each time I used it the food took much longer to cook
