Great unit while it lasted, easy and automatic. But it died without warning only 2 months into use. Called Kambrook customer care, and they advised me to contact the store I bought it from... No help at all. Disappointing, I had thought maybe mine was a one off until I came across all these other reviews of people having the same issue. Do not reccomend

This is my second one in a matter on months, the first one I used twice and it stopped working. I returned it and got another one, this one has lasted 4 uses and has now stopped working, can't return this one because I have misplaced receipt, but I won't be buying another kambrook model. What a waste of money, can't even get half a dozen uses out of the machines!
I thought first time just bad luck this time I know now they are just junk, so do not buy review other models and pay a bit more this is a big inconvenience.

Had my original Kambrook for years and loved it. Used it several times a week before it needed replacing. New one used a handful of times and burnt out. Replaced it and the next one burnt out on its third try. Don't waste your cash - quality control nonexistent now.....I miss my old one

At first I loved it, cooked rice well, etc. compact and simple. My first one lasted a month and bought a second one, I think a month after as it was sold out at Kmart and waited for it to come in. Tonight, in the middle of cooking, it died again. Don't waste your money as much as I did!

This rice cooker is good value for money. I will never go back to cooking rice on the stove top anymore. It is also very compact. As I always face space issues in my house, I was looking for something compact. There are few negatives like the rice gets stuck to the pan if left too long in the cooker.

Purchased in Aug 2015. Same as everybody, rice stuck to bottom every time from first use. Lid did not fit correctly or rather was too light and so steam spewed out onto surrounding cupboard. Last straw was at Christmas when I noticed the bowl has split almost right around the rim.

Bought the Kambrook express & same as other review, rice stuck to bottom and clumpy. Lid didn't seem to sit right. I even tried using less and then more water but still the same outcome. I feel ripped off as thought would at least work when new. Looking for another one.

Teflon coated rubbish. Teflon that's been banned from sale in USA so dumped onto Aussies to sell to. Total rubbish. Useless. Scratch it once or just touch it with some metal, even the ring on your finger and it's into the bin with it. Money down the drain. My last Teflon one lasted ten minutes and cost more. It was Russel Hobbs. Still, just rubbish.

From the very first day we used this rice cooker it burnt the rice at the bottom of the rice cooker and the rice also stuck together in a clump at the bottom. We have used a number of rice cookers over the years and never experienced this problem before. Rang the customer service line and were advised its the rice that we use. We have started using another rice cooker with the same batch of rice and there are no problems.

How do you explain after using a product twice & when you are using it for the second time we start to smell a burning electricity smell & the rice cooker stops. Lights go out. No power & never works again!!
I had one before that lasted 2 years & only decided to get a new one because daughter scrapped bottom of the nonstick base.
So dissapointed with this.
Can't find Reciept so now have to buy yet another rice cooker.

purchased this model 2 weeks ago. Have used it 4 or 5 times. Always sticks and singes on the bottom. Bears no resemblance to rice boiled in a pot on the stove. Tried more rice, more water. less rice less, less water, nothing works. Maybe need a better model or none at all!

Like Sara, review Mar 2015 I find that the rice sticks to the bottom or even slightly burns no matter what I do. I've tried different quantities of both rice and water. In hindsight I should have bought one with an adjustable timer. This one only has Cook or Warm. But it is very cheap so pay peanuts get monkeys

Have had no problem since purchasing it last month and use it at least 5 days a week. Very quick, easy to clean and produces great rice every time. The warm feature is excellent too. When rice is nearly cooked I put some turkey mince or fish on top and 10-15 mins later I have a healthy meal of steamed rice and meat/fish and only 1 pot to clean! Best thing I've purchased for my kitchen in a long time!

I eat rice every day but I live alone so I do not need to cook a large quantity. This product sounded perfect. However no matter what I did - more water, less water, stirring a couple of times during the cooking - I always found the bottom layer of the rice was overcooked/slightly burnt. Maybe if I had cooked more than 1 measure of rice - a larger quantity - I might have been able to avoid the burning. In the end I gave up and bought a new non-stick saucepan with a lid for the same price as the rice cooker and the result is perfect.

Used this cheap rice cooker that was just OK at first then had to adjust water content from suggested. On the third attempt the rice getting good, then alas on the forth attempt the cooker burnt out when switched on! Will return and buy another brand.

I have had this Kambrook Rice Cooker for two and a half years now and cook rice at least 2 or 3 times a week and it has cooked rice perfectly! The rice does tend to stick on the bottom of the pan a bit but I just soak the pan with water for a few minutes before gently removing it by hand and wash in warm soapy water with a soft cloth afterwards. I previously had a Breville rice cooker and after replacing the pan 3 times because the teflon coating kept peeling off I threw it out and vowed not to get another rice cooker but I relented and bought the kambook Rice Express 5 cup rice cooker and am so pleased with the way it cooks.

Good price but u get what you pay for, not good with heavy use. Lasted 4 weeks and has just burnt out (3rd kambrook rice cooker to burn out). Other than that perfect rice every time, no burnt rice and easy to clean. The steAmer was a great addition to the package
Easy to use and clean
3rd rice cooker that has failed after a month
