It's ok if you don't have a big appetite, but really, it's so small and only cooks about a cup at a time, so you can't cook for family meals or it goes cold between shifts. I also found it unreliable re cooking times. Back to the saucepan for me.

It cooks plain rice fine. But don't trust the recipe book. There's a rice pudding recipe, which I was very excited for. And if you thought 'wow how can you make rice pudding in such a small rice cooker?', then wonder no longer, because the answer is you can't! I followed the recipe, put in the milk and water, closed the cooker (as the recipe said… Read more

to do!), put it on cook and walked away. Came back to a bench covered in milk, milk and cinnamon every crevice of my brand new expensive rice cooker. I don't know if the recipe book was written by AI or something but that recipe was clearly not tested in the very rice cooker it was written for! And after all that, the rice pudding wasn't even good. Will stick to stove top rice pudding and never put anything other than plain rice in this over-priced appliance.

I purchased the rice cooker to make the 60 different recipes in the rice robot recipe book. Extremely disappointed when it only works for plain rice. This is definately a case of misleading consumers. It was even confirmed in your response to negative reviews that the product is only suitable for plain steamed rice Show details

This product is absolutely amazing. For years it's been a guess on how much water and rice to use. No more guessing.wish we could of had this a long time ago. Show details ·  1

I tried making fried rice unfortunately I had to turn on the cook switch around 10 times and finally the rice was cooked. I’m not sure if the robot is suited to doing a fried rice as the flavour was a bit bland. Show details

I regrettably brought rice robot, instead of sticking with my rice cooker. The photo uploaded shows a very very thin circular plastic/rubber 'seal'. You have to remove this thin seal and pull out (difficult) disk to clean and also clean behind the disk. Extremely hard to put back on the top lid. After washing the food off the top lid with a… Read more

sponge, the seal had to also be taken off to fully clean it. The food takes much longer than a rice cooker. I do like getting recipe book. But any recipe can be adapted when you have the rice water ratio. Which I have from my old rice cooker. Have not tried the steamer. I'll go back to using my rice cooker because it's quicker and food steams nicely with the vegetables I add to the rice. Easy to clean. And that's why I brought a Rice cooker. So I can cook everything in one pot. I've given it one star because I it came with a recipe book. And if I can poach an egg a 'maybe' second star. Overall if I had the choice again to buy. I would not buy this rice cooker. Main reason being the length of time to cook - and heaps of splatter of the lid under and on top after cooking. And trying to fit the rubber seal back on. I ask myself. How long is this going to last before it breaks apart. And the price is extremely high, compared to a supermarket brought rice cooker for around $20. I could buy three rice cookers for one robot rice cooker. Think twice before buying.

My wife absolutely loves the Rice Robot and is telling everyone about it. The rice is cooked to perfection. Haven’t tried cooking anything else in as yet, but have no concerns that it will be anything different than perfection. Show reply

I live alone since my wife's death and this appliance is perfect for cooking the small meals I prefer to make in preference to frozen package meals or takeaway. It has completely lived up to my expectations. Show reply
