We received our warrant replacement unit from the manufacturer...and after only a couple uses - it is constantly clicking off before cooking is finished, and it is emitting electrical smoke badly!
After all the hassles we went through (described below) to get the replacement..we won't go there again. We'll just cut our losses here. These things are just plain unsafe for your home.
Original Review:
Stay clear of this product!...like many other reviewers - ours stopped working after only a few months. It was encouraging that Black & Decker responded here (read below responses) however the warranty hoops are insane. Get this...
- you have to contact them to obtain an ID number.
- you then have to email them with a difficult to read code from your appliance electrical prong.
- you then get an email telling you that you must cut off the electrical prong & mail it to them! At the same time you must send a letter and $6 for shipping! I kid you not!
All this inconvenience to YOU...because THEY screwed up. Who is going to jump through all these silly hoops for a silly $30 rice cooker? By the time I receive a replacement it will be like a month without the use of said appliance. Who has time or patience for this crap?
Tell you what we are doing - we are buying a much superior rice cooker from Costco for the same price. You can return anything to Costco. They just toss it back to the manufacturer.
In fact...I highly recommend steering clear of Black & decker entirely. We also have their Dustbuster which no longer re-charges after a short period of time.
Stopped working after only 8 months!
Black & Decker will you please help?
Was working fine - but suddenly died in the middle of cooking. No lights - nothing!

By Kansas64 on November 12, 2018

Very low lifespan! First one failed after 3 months of use, second one failed within 10 days, third one failed after 2 months of use!
Not betting my money anymore on this now.
It's small, built well, and stores away nicely but every time I attempt for rice, it's burnt all the way around the sides of the container and I have to soak and scrape it clean. I have followed the instructions on the provided pamphlet, I have toyed around with different measurements of rice to water, etc but somehow it never comes out right.

Con esta arrocera ya no tengo ese problema, sencillamente agrego un chorito de aceite de oliva, pongo las tazas de arroz que deseo y agrego el agua necesaria un poco de sal y pimienta, la enciendo y puedo hacer otras cosas mientras se termina de cocinar, al terminar de hervir automaticamente se pone en modo calentar, ya solo llego y sirvo.
La arrocera me facino bastante, casi diario preparo arroz y ya estoy probando con diferentes granos (integral, extra, super extra, largo, para sushi), aunque aun no le agarro bien la maña, decir que para mi vale la pena, tanto que ya ordene otra para darsela a mi hermana.
Concejos para aquellos que la vayan a utilizar o esten utilizando
- Si tu arrocera al hervir comienza a burbujear y derrama por las orillas de la tapa.
Hay que lavar bien el arroz y quitarle la mayor cantidad de almidon, en mi caso la paso por el agua 5 veces hasta que el agua deje de salir tan lechosa o salga transparente.
- Para reducir el tiempo de coccion
Deja remojando el arroz durante unos 10-15 minutos.
- Para que no se queme la parte de abajo del arroz
Unta aceite en la olla. Y al terminar de cocinar, mueve el arroz, revuelvelo lo de abajo para arriba y tapa la arrocera durante unos minutos mas.


Reviewed in Canada on October 15, 2018


Para ser justos, le hemos dado mucho uso, 2 o 3 dias por semana desde que se compro ha estado haciendo arroz, sin ebargo aun con este uso constante no me parece que deberia de haber dejado de funcionar tan pronto. Para hacer las cosas peores, al ser un producto de importacion no se como sera lo de lagarantia, me parece que sera un poco dificil reclamarla pero necesito revisar eso con el servicio a clientes de amazon todavia.
No la volveria a comprar nuevamente ni la recomiendo.

La neta sí me la sudó y no la usé.
