Cooks well but major design flaw
I cannot complain about the cooking, i think cooks to perfection. However on washing the lid, the water gets stuck under the handle and you need to unscrew with a screwdriver each time and dry out 4 pieces. Very tedious.
Purchased in February 2021 at JB Hi-Fi Retail Stores for A$50.00.

I Will Never Buy Another Breville Product
This product is awful, the rice sticks to the non-stick surface and on the keep warm function, the rice ends up so dried out that it becomes like a flat disc of rice. Therefore this product can not actually perform either of the functions that it is meant to do.
I nicely messaged Breville to explain the trouble that we were having and they totally blew me off, the only help that they offered was to tell me to wash my rice before I cooked it (I was already doing that). So sorry Breville, customer service means everything to me and so you have lost me as a customer.

PILE OF RUBBISH, ON 3RD REPLACEMENT.
On my 3rd replacement in 4 months or so. Same issue every time, will not turn on after about 6 uses.
Worked prettty crappy when working, rice tends to stick (i suspect because "keep warm" function is too hot).
Most recent replacement hand delivered by Breville, lasted a week.
I use a gram scale and a mill jug, to ensure corrct amounts, still overcooks and gluggifyies my rice.
taking this one back, getting a crdit, buying anything else.
I could easily pull it apart, ad fix the issue, but that is not my job, and is an obvipoous design fault, and would destroy my warrenty.
Good Guys have been excellent in replacing.

Easy to use rice-cooker
Beautiful, simple rice cooker. Works well, haven't had any bad experiences. Some rice sticks to the bottom of the rice cooker however this is easily amended by removing the rice from the rice cooker immediately after it cooks and adding more water. Would definitely recommend it to anyone who's looking for a rice cooker.

Works great using some handy tips!
Been using it for about 18 months now and am very happy with it.
Had a few problems to start with, rice sticking to bottom, burnt rice when using "keep warm" function, etc., the usual complaints in the other reviews but have got it all sorted now and have been using it successfully for about 18 months.
Use the following tips and I'm sure you'll find it works great.
1) Using the cup provided, basically just add an extra 1/2 a cup of water to every cup of rice you are cooking, eg., 2 cups of rice need 3 cups of water. Have only ever done 3 cup...Read more

It's handy and temperamental
I wanted something small and this is perfect, the only problem is, there is a lot of juggling around until you get it right, the right amount of water, the cooking time and leaving it in there when done, if you leave it for too long it will all glue together and this has been happening mainly if cooking too long, also there is an issue with the steamer if you want to check it while cooking have an oven glove on first, I am not 100% happy with this product!

Good Product
The products is not expensive at all. I must say it is very easy to use, no complicated buttons. It comes with free rice spoon and a steamer. It has a non stick plate cooker.

Great rice cooker
This rice cooker is great, and so easy to use. You just set it and go. It also automatically switches to a keep warm setting when it's done cooking. I would say it's a bit slower than cooking rice on a stove, and occasionally bubbles up under the lid if the measurements aren't spot on, but otherwise it's a nice product.

Love this rice cooker
This rice cooker replaced a Kmart branded one! It is great. Just pop in equal amounts of rice and water, stir once and done. It has instructions to make the rice soft and fluffy and that is how it comes out! The added steamer basket is particularly helpful! We just turn it on and leave it! Very pleased with the purchase!

A+ very happy
Purchased this rice cooker probably 2 years ago. Have never had any significant problems with it, cooks well, easy to use.. Surprised by the negative comments. The only issue I have encountered recently after a lot of use is that it's no longer non stick.. But this is easily solved by soaking the pan for a few minutes.

Worst breville product I have ever bought..
I have bought lots of breville product and it has always been good but this product is absolutely bizarre.. how could they sell such a product.... breville has to do something about this product... used for a week ..every time it sticks .. it's the sticker ricer cooker . Do something about this.

Breville have a cheek selling this!
I have tried to cook rice three times in the rice cooker and every time it sticks! I've tried brown rice, white rice and Basmati rice with the same outcome. I even added extra water the last time to see if that helps but no it still stuck. How they can keep on selling this product when almost all the reviews point to there being a fault with it I don't understand. Come on Breville a recall is required!

Not what I expected.
I read some reviews before I bought this product and naively assumed that perhaps the people who wrote them were not using the product correctly. Nope.
The rice sticks and burns every time, without fail, despite following the directions exactly.
Every appliance I own is Breville, but when I replace this I will be looking elsewhere. Clearly Breville do not produce the quality of appliance that I thought they did.
If I didn't buy this on clearance, I would take it back. At least the fact that it was on clearance indicates Breville have done a...Read more

Sticks
I put my rice cooker away for 12 months because it always sticks and boils dry. Saw it in the back of the cupboard and decided to try again. Dismal failure.

Bad quality cooker and trips circuit right after 12 month warranty is over. Won't buy another Brevil
-steam and water somehow overflows through the lid just about everytime.
-need to manually turn off or rice will stick to bottom if auto-turnoff.
-trips circuit right after 12 month warranty period is over.
- my last National Rice cooker lasts over 20 years and still going strong until i had to give it away.
Won't buy another Breville product.

Rubbish
Looked at reviews before purchase they must have all been written by Breville share holders.Followed directions and cooked rice and low and behold it catches on bottom every time without fail .Good on you Breville for bringing yet another bad product out. Still only paid $25 for it so it not the end of the world but the end of Breville in my house.
May 2nd 2017 Update: Rubbish you have to add more rice to get amount of rice you want.
Do not buy save money and burn rice some other way cheaper. This is nothing more than an uncontrolled electrical
device. This will only cost you the money you have paid for the cooker but also time cleaning out rice stuck to the bottom of (wait for it ) non stick surface.

Absolutely shocking rice cooker
I've had this rice cooker for over a year and have "never" been able to successfully cook rice without burning rice on the bottom every-single-time. The only way to avoid burning the rice is to turn the cooker off 5 to 10 mins before it's boiled all the water out. This kind of defeats the purpose of the cooker plus you get soggy rice. I used to have a Breville Rice Cooker that lasted over 12 years until the teflon base started to wear out - it worked perfectly, I absolutely loved it. However the Breville BRC200 is just a shocker.

Very good - but far from perfect
We make quite a lot of cooked brown rice (mixed with vegetables) for our seven dogs. We used to use a slow cooker - but the bowl cracked when one of them knocked it over. So we went searching for a dedicated rice cooker and found this one.
We routinely use 4 x standard cup measurements of brown rice then fill it with water to the Max. fluid mark. The unit has plenty of punch and soon has it boiling.
You do need to keep an eye on things; because the rice can dry out quite quickly (at least on brown rice). If it does dry out - I have found...Read more
that even though it has a non stick inner bowl it will stick and start to brown off. To date I have not cooked white rice. I have tried rinsing the rice well with water - prior to cooking - but it makes no noticeable difference. The unit comes with a VERY small plastic spoon for stirring - but because it's so short; it's almost useless for anything except maybe for steaming (and stirring) vegetables. You would be better off using a longer wooden or plastic spoon; which will give you more leverage. In short - it works for us and was very good value.Similar opinion?

Rice always sticks to the bottom! Have tried every method advocated with no success
I bought this rice cooker following a good review by Choice. I have a Thermomix but wanted a separate rice cooker as I cook a lot of rice and had a Toshiba rice cooker for 6 years previous to this. The Toshiba metal opener had slowly peeled away so I had to get rid of it. So following reviews in Choice this cooker had a great review and a good price ( I had paid over $100 for the Toshiba one ). Unbelievable the rice sticks to the bottom despite everything I have done. I soak the rice. I have left lid on, I have used oil on the bottom of the r...Read more
ice cooker, I have taken the lid off, I have used extra water. I have soaked the rice for a longer period. Nothing stops the rice sticking to the bottom. Never experienced this issue before. Have used maximum 10 times and tried all above and gone back to using my Thermomix. Rice Cooker sitting in original packaging in my cupboard. Hope this is just a lemon product. I have had great experience with Breville products before. Can anyone suggest a good Breville rice cooker happy to pay more for it but one where rice does not stick to the bottom every single time. Purchased from The Good Guys in August 2016.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

What a dud!
**Review about Platinum BRC200S**
By far the worse rice cooker. I have not been able to cook rice without burning/sticking from day 1. There is no way to avoid the bad outcome, tried everything already (rinsing rice, water temperature, add oil, etc.) Have had far better results with a $20 rice cooker. I wish Breville could admit this is a pure dud and replace the bad ones!!! Clearly they have built something wrong.

No response from Breville yes they know it,s a another cheap import. So really they are just a import company for bad products that are substandard.
