I absolutely love this little machine, it's so simple to use and clean. The first few tries were trial and error until I got it going and now it's perfect every time. Some top tier tips and general musings of mine to help those who may also be new to rice cookers: Wash the rice, wash it again and wash it some more until the water runs clear to get the starch off. Buy yourself a strainer to simplify the process. Basmati and jasmine will still retain a nice stickiness even when washed thoroughly so don't be afraid to really go for it. Follow the guideline notches INSIDE the pot itself. 1 cup of rice does not necessarily equal one cup of water. Use the water lines properly, don't be tempted to "add a little extra water" to stop it from burning either, your rice will turn to pure gross mush. Trust the guidelines they're pretty spot on. Once the rice is cooked it will automatically flick into "warming mode" DO NOT REMOVE THE RICE STRAIGHT AWAY. This was a mindblowing revelation for me lol. Leave your rice in for at least 30mins if you can AFTER it's finished cooking, just give it a stir with the included rice spoon as the way the moisture and cooking process works leaving it that bit longer actually lifts and releases any rice that might initially be stuck to the bottom. Put about half a teaspoon of table salt in with each cup of rice to get a nicer taste. Stock cubes can also be added in at this point too and gives a lovely tasty rice that can be eaten alone. Soya sauce is a great way to add a bit more saltiness and improve the general flavour after the rice has been cooked. It is much better absorbed than salt at that point. The medium is a small tidy size that would easily do a couple but tbh a family could do with a larger size. There's an on/off switch on the righthand side where the plug wire also comes out, easily missed. The cooking switch doesn't make a dramatic noise when done but it's a substantial click that you would hear from another room and as I said above it's definitely best to leave your rice settle and slow cook for a while to really get the best out of it. All parts are dishawasher safe - lid, bowl, steam pot and spoon. The main unit itself is very easy clean, just wipe with a cloth. If cooking a large amount of rice it can be helpful to put a towel beneath the device as it can on occasion boil over. I have noticed though that this is actually very rice specific. It never boils over for me with jasmine or long grain rice for example but it boils over everytime with basmati for some reason. That's all I can think of to help atm. I'd genuinely 10/10 recommend this device. I struggle to make myself eat a proper dinner a lot of the time and this has taken so much stress and effort out of the process for me, I love it. For those interested there are also recipes available online where you can use your rice cooker to even make the likes of pasta and soups/stews. That will certainly be my next venture when I feel brave enough to strike out again lol. For the price it's worth every penny, buy it now and thank yourself later over your fluffy perfectly cooked bowl of rice.

After using this Russell Hobbs rice cooker daily for months, I can confidently say it's been one of my best kitchen purchases. The consistency is remarkable - perfect, fluffy rice every single time without fail. The simplicity is actually its strength. Easy one-touch operation means you can't really go wrong, and the automatic keep-warm function is brilliant for busy schedules. Whether I'm cooking basmati, jasmine, or brown rice, the results are consistently excellent with no burnt bottoms or mushy textures. At this price point, the value is outstanding. I was skeptical about whether a budget rice cooker could deliver professional results, but it absolutely does. It's made rice preparation completely foolproof, which has genuinely changed my daily cooking routine. The build quality feels solid for the price range. Daily use hasn't revealed any weak points, and cleanup is straightforward with the non-stick inner pot. The compact size fits well on my countertop without taking up excessive space. My only minor wish would be for a slightly larger capacity option, though the current size handles most family meals perfectly well. For anyone who eats rice regularly, this eliminates all the guesswork and delivers restaurant-quality results at home. At this price, it's essentially paid for itself in convenience and consistent results.

I received this Russell Hobbs electric rice cooker and have been testing it for everyday use. It’s simple to use—just measure rice and water, set it, and press start. The cooker consistently delivers fluffy, evenly cooked rice whether I’m making a small meal or a larger batch for family dinner. The 2 kg capacity is generous and perfect for larger households or when entertaining guests. I also appreciate that it handles different types of rice well, from basmati to jasmine, without sticking or burning at the bottom. Cleanup is straightforward since the inner pot is non‑stick and easy to wipe clean. The cooker feels sturdy and well made, and the indicator lights and settings are intuitive even for first‑time users. It’s a reliable addition to the kitchen that takes the guesswork out of rice cooking. Overall, this Russell Hobbs rice cooker performs exactly as needed: consistent results, easy operation, and large capacity. I’m pleased with how it works and would recommend it for anyone wanting a dependable rice cooker.

Really nice and practical. Does the job perfectly.

Very good and cooks fast! Easy to use I love that its silent and doesn't give alot of steam. Highly recommend!

This rice cooker works perfectly well and has no defects. It performs exactly as expected and feels reliable in daily use. However, the main drawback for me is the size—it’s quite small and best suited for a single person. While the quality and functionality are good, the limited capacity is what disappointed me the most.

The item has stopped working. It's been less than a year

At first I was hesitant to purchase because I’ve seen some comment it makes mess on counter , but others says it’s clean , so finally I’ve decided to buy this cooker for the price it’s good . I’ve tried first is to cook 3 cups or rice uncooked and I just added additional about 1:2 cup of water I followed the line , it was quick and I’m so impressed and also it did t make any mess in my counter “ maybe because if it’s 3 cups ? If it’s less maybe it will be messy ? Well I’ll find it out . I’ve cooked jasmine rice and it turned my rice so nice and evenly cooked , taste really nice , it’s worth buying and it’s practical rather than buying expensive cooker but it’s still same , I only need basic to cook my rice that’s it ..

It's lovely ans works well. But it is small, just usable for 2 people.

هذه اظن خامس طباخة ارز اشتريتها. وهي الافضل .. ماتحرق الرز ابدا وجودتها عالية ويكفيك اسم الشركة ..
