        Love the cooker!
        I’ve been using this for over a year and half. It’s great to cook for a single person and cleaning is easy! However I feel the bowl has worn a bit and am looking for a replacement. Is there a way I can find the the part?

                great rice cooker
                I bought this appliance on March this year. It worked fine up until yesterday,April 4. I steamed some corn last night and the corn came out great and I followed the instructions in the manual. This morning I wanted to cook some rice and the cooker would not work at all. I tried two other outlets and it still would not work. I am very upset. This product is still under warranty and I want it fixed or replaced.

                  Hello Austin. Thank you for taking the time to review the Black+Decker RC506. I'm sorry to hear of the experience you've had with this product. It sounds like there may be some confusion regarding the capacity of the rice maker. The capacity, in this case six cups, refers to the number of cooked cups of rice this unit can hold. When measuring rice to cook, make sure to use the included rice measure. Because rice expands as it cooks, one rice cup measure of dry rice will
                  yield two standard cups of cooked rice. If this doesn't help, or you have further questions or concerns, please email us at youropinionmatters@spectrumbrands.com and reference ID number 41613183 so that we may better assist you. We look forward to hearing from you.

                    Thank you for your question. This warning was added because the state of California recently added the chemical BPA to its Proposition 65 list. There have been recent articles raising concerns about BPA in consumer products. In such articles, the clear focus has been on the question of BPA migration into food and beverages consumed by humans. However, Proposition 65 requires the warning on all products that contain BPA, even at very low levels or in components that do not come into contact with food. BPA is common in plastics, and because some of our products may contain some level of BPA, the warning has been added to our products. However, Spectrum Brands continues to stand behind the safety and value of its products. If you have any other questions regarding your rice cooker, please reply to the email I've sent from youropinionmatters@spectrumbrands.com, so I can better assist you.

                      Works Great Until You Lose A Part
                      This is my first rice cooker and so far I am very impressed. If you follow the directions and use the rice measuring cup your rice will come out perfect every time. Clean up is also very easy, however, I unscrewed the handle from the lid and somehow lost the screw that holds it together. I've searched online and can't find any info for replacement parts, so keep a close eye on all of the pieces.

                        6 C rice cooker
                        I used my ew rice cooker for the first time today. I washed the removable parts as instructed, one part of the vent silicone came off and I dont know how to put both pieces back in the venting hole. I put 1 in and cooked the rice, it took way longer than expected. Please advise with a picture.

                          Really loved this product for the almost year I’ve had it but it randomly will stop working where the switch will pop up as if rice is done but was only on for a fee minutes. Have not found a fix but will get this product again.

                              The directions are poorly assembled, and my first attempt cooking rice, it came out worse than if I had used a ppan of boiling water ... took longer too. It may have been cheaper to run, 110v vs 220v electric stove, but poor results don't make it worth the pennies saved.
