WTH is this garbage.

published

Don't buy. This might as well be a pop corn maker. Splatters water everywhere and leaks and the steam vents are badly placed. No doubt the Kambrook team will respond to this comment with "Please contact us". NO thank you. I'd rather throw this defective product away than waste time dealing with it. Why are you even Selling this? If you want to help your brand or customers, stop selling this product and slap your brand on one of those cheap chinese cookers; at least they cook rice properly without mess.

Spits everywhere

published

This rice cooker works OK in terms of cooking, but it spits water absolutely everywhere. The kitchen bench, the floor, the splashback, there's starchy water everywhere. It took an hour to clean up after the first time we used it.

This isn't a problem with usage. We've been using rice cookers all our life.



This product is simply unusable. I don't think we can return it because it's clearly not faulty, it's just extremely poorly designed.

We won't be using it again. The cheap and nasty Chinese-branded one we had previously been using is far superior.

Don’t waste your money

published

I spent a lot of money buying a well known brand but I really regret it. Firstly it splatters all over the bench and starchy water collects in the lid. Rice is left crusty on the bottom. Item is hard to clean as the starchy residue is left everywhere.
Today I used the item and it kept turning itself onto keep warm after only about 5 minutes, this I was unable to wal away and had to stay nearby to keep turning it on.

THE worst I've ever bought.

published

I wanted to downsize to a small rice cooker so chose this 5 cup one at a reasonable cost. i have been cooking rice all my life so the problem doesn't lie with the technique. This rice cooker turns itself off after 5 minutes. Obviously, the rice isn't cooked, but something (and I'm guessing steam or heat pressure) is telling the internal sensor that it's cooked.
I then have to open the lid, let some steam out, close the lid without actually locking it (so as to allow steam to escape) and turn it back to 'cook' (it will continue to shut off unless I've allowed enough steam out).
It will cook rice, but not without my help. I might as well cook the rice manually. Very disappointing.

Thank you for asking me to contact your service team, but I have thrown the rice cooker in the bin.

Leaky puddle of starch

published

This product has a few design flaws my greatest beef with it is that whenever you use it it leaves sloppy piles of starch water all over the lid and table. It's a nightmare to clean up after. It leaves the bottom layer of rice crispy which some people like so that's ok. It has a poorly placed steam vent but so far so good. It does cook rice well tho and is very good looking but unfortunately we can't get past the messy factor

Warning steam vents onto knuckles as you try to open the lid!!

published

As a previous reviewer noted, this is a bad design with the steam vent placed right where your knuckles are due to the placement of the opening handle. BE CAREFUL if you buy this unit!

Steamer dish could have done with a handle of some sort as you have to pry it up with something first before lifing it out with a tea towel

Apart from that, cooks rice quickly. burns bottom crisp but some ppl like that

I used the rice cooker again last night and had the same experience with the steam burning the knuckles. Here's a pic of the design flaw

rice sticks together, forms a crusty base

published

We bought this rice cooker from Bing Lee about 2 weeks ago. From the first day of use, I have been quite unhappy with this product. It always forms a crusty base. I have tried cooking rice with less and more water, 2 cups to 5 cups of rice, leave the "keep warm" option for a long time and unplug the rice cooker soon after the rice is cooked....but notthing helped....I have always been getting a think crusty base and so much of rice gets stuck together....which I cannot serve at all......very very disappointed since I never had this issue with the other two brands that I had used before.

Good rice cooker which cooks rice fast

published

After reading many reviews and the instruction manuals I discovered that the more expensive rice cookers take longer to cook the rice. Speed of meal preparation is important to me so I bought this unit, to replace my old unit with the old style lid. This unit does keep the rice quite moist on the keep warm function and cooks rice very well with no crusty base or water leaking out of the lid.
The design has a few flaws, badly placed vent on the lid and the lid is a bit awkward to open. However, I have not burnt my fingers yet as the steam does stop venting fairly quickly. The inner bowl is black and the water guideline marks very difficult to read.

Rice Master KRC405BSS

Should boiling rice water spit from the steam vent? There was quite a puddle of starchy water on the benchtop under the cooker that had flowed down the sides during cooking. It was a mess to clean up and I'm not sure how safe it is. Thanks Liz

Rice Master KRC405BSS

Why was this unit constructed in such a way that it vents steam onto your knuckles as you try to open the lid?! I burnt myself first time I tried to use it. This will always happen due to the placement of the handle and vent. Bad design that shouldn't have been implemented. There is no way of getting around this. Also its very difficult to get the steamer dish out as it has no lip to grab onto. You have to pry it up with something before lifting it. Are you bringing out an updated unit soon?
