I purchased this Rice Cooker as I saw from some reviews that it doesn't spit out frothy steam everywhere like other generic rice cookers too. This one has a lid that clips down. This lid is not removable, therefore you need to wipe and clean this very well, in all the nooks and crannies before the next use. I don't think Russell & Hobbs thought of ease-of-cleaning when they designed this.
The non stick bowl is the only thing that's worth anything here. After using it for the first time - this has so much frothy steam spitting out the gasket section in the non-removable lid section of the appliance. I immediately turned it off, pulled out the plug. Opened the lid by unclipping it (yes it was fastened correctly) and took the inner bowl out.
I then grabbed the electrical plug along with the cheap little measuring cup that came with it, and placed them all inside the appliance and clicked the lid closed in all of it's steamy/frothy mess. Then I picked up the appliance and promptly walked it out and threw it into the garbage bin.
I have seen $20 rice cookers perform better than this. Overall bad design flaws and will not be buying any Russell & Hobbs Appliances again. If they can't get a rice cooker design down pat, then I wouldn't be bothered with the rest of their range.
I'm not interested in a refund from Amazon on this. I find this is a prime example of, you get what you pay for and in this case, I bought this because it's cheap, being my own fault. It's cheap alright and never again!
