" ...  Unfortunately, the Condensation Collector plastic broke last night when removing from the rice cooker. ... It seems as if this plastic is designed to fail. ... Unfortunately, I can't use it now without spilling fluid all over my counter, because what seems to be "by-design", the condensation collector plastic is weak and broke.  ...  "

" ...  My Hamilton Beach rice cooker became inoperable after less than two years when the small plastic “condensation collector” on the outside broke under normal use (purchase was in March 2017 and I had used the cooker maybe 2-3 dozen times).  ...  "
comment
" ...  Since this started, I've tried changing around water levels (but again, I was originally doing everything the same as I was when I first got this when it was turning out great), and anything else I can think of to try to get my food to stop burning, and it has yet to work.  ...  "
