Kambrook apr401 DIY repair

Details: kambrook apr401 DIY repair from a real master for the site my.housecope.com.

Personally, I came to the conclusion that it is inconvenient to cook banal buckwheat, semolina porridge and soups in this cartoon. Buckwheat does not boil so easily, semolina begins to actively seethe when the pressure is released, no less actively trying to "escape" through the pressure relief valve. And the soup is either cooked at a time, or it, like porridge, will be in the valve.

By the way, the special “chic” of the manufacturer is the thing for steaming that comes in the kit: some kind of absurd contraption. Any food will fall between these wires, if not immediately, then as it “steams”. So I did not understand what the chief designer of the multicooker wanted to say with her = D But in the end, a steamer was purchased for the pan, which fits inside (it often happens in hypermarkets), and in general we returned the function to the multicooker.

This model has many nuances. If all of them are taken into account, then, like the norms of a pressure cooker, it is convenient to use. But we could have made it well thought out.

you work loudly, the elastic band on the lid inscribes the smells!

decided to pass but a friend dissuaded and did not regret it! cooks great! at first we could not get used to it

not all programs change the time, but later they got used to it. on the Internet we found a lot of information about what dishes can be cooked besides those in the multi menu and on what modes! the only thing is not yet baking

the top is white! we don’t regret buying! meat, fish, soups, yogurt

insanely everything turns out delicious! the only thing over time, the gum on the lid strongly inscribes odors, but in the self-cleaning mode with the addition of soda or vinegar, this problem disappears.

Video (click to play).

This is the most unsuccessful model of pressure cooker I have ever had.
In order :
1. Very easily soiled plastic of the case. In general, the lid always seems to be stained, even if it has just been cleaned.
2. The valve ball rattles during operation so that I still cannot get used to it. The delayed start function looks like a mockery against this background. Porridge for "morning" will wake up before the alarm clock.
3.Steamer. Another mockery. Not only is the shape and size puzzling, but it is also metal - we scratch the bowl.
4.Modes. Useless repetition of the same thing. At the same time, she does not know how to simply boil water for pasta.
5. Time ... Time. My old cartoon cooked rice in 25 minutes. And this "pressure cooker" does it for. 35 minutes.
6. All dishes (prepared according to the recipe book) are stewed. Everything and always.
7. If you use it only as a regular pressure cooker (jellied meat, pea soup), it shows itself not bad. But then there is no point in paying that kind of money. There are models of pressure cookers that are almost half the price.

My review is devoted to the negative aspects associated with the Kambrook APR401 multicooker, it has no complaints or flaws in its appearance, so there is no point in attaching photos, all the details, menus, bowl, everything in the photo from the Internet corresponds to reality.

I want to note right away that of all the possible functions in the menu, it only copes with stewing and baking. That is, it performs the two usual functions that are in any multicooker, nothing more.

So, let's go straight to the cons, since its only plus is that it just works and prepares food.

1) Not all sites and sellers specify that this is not just an ordinary multicooker, but a multicooker-pressure cooker. I'd say she's basically just a pressure cooker. Since the principle of its work is that it accumulates pressure inside the bowl and thanks to this it prepares food. Therefore, with the exception of baking, all other modes are similar to stewing. And since the principle of operation is the same all the time, it is not clear why so many modes were made.

2) Sellers declare that the multicooker is “smart”, it contains some kind of sensors or something like that, that it itself determines the cooking time of the product, based on its quantity in the bowl. This is complete nonsense. Whatever product is put (meat or vegetables), whatever the quantity, the multicooker always sets the same cooking time.

3) It is impossible to independently set the cooking time, except for the “Settings” function, and some other mode. As soon as you start cooking, after about 15 minutes, the appliance timer sets the cooking time to 45 minutes, regardless of the dish or cooking mode. This is very inconvenient, since sometimes you have to cook food for the whole family and 1 hour is not enough for readiness, therefore, after turning off the multicooker, you have to turn it on a second time, time it yourself and turn it off when ready.

4) Since this is still a pressure cooker, during the cooking process, you cannot open the lid, for example, check the readiness of the dish or add some spices, since it blocks the lid due to the pressure in the bowl. Therefore, in such cases, you have to turn off the multicooker, relieve pressure, only then you can open the lid. And if you need to continue cooking, you have to re-adjust the mode and time the time.

5) Sometimes some kind of malfunction occurs, after cooking and releasing the pressure in the bowl, it is impossible to open the lid. Initially, this is provided in order to protect the user from hot steam from the bowl, the lid is locked until all the steam is released through the valve on the lid, but sometimes the lid does not unlock and sometimes you have to suffer for 20-30 minutes, opening the lid, disconnecting from the network and including again, and by some miracle it turns out to be opened.

From all of the above, we can conclude that we buy an ordinary pan for 16 thousand rubles, this is now, we bought it in 2013 for 12 thousand. It is not worth its money at all! You can buy an excellent multicooker for half this price, do not waste extra money, especially since it is not clear what to overpay for here!

I bought the Kambrook APR401 multicooker solely because of the function of the pressure cooker. And for the second time I miscalculated with my hope for these additional functions! I already wrote about the Vitek VT-4209 multicooker, which I took because of the combination of the multi and the bread maker. So, the way the cartoon works fine, but the bread maker quickly stopped functioning.

With Kambrook, the problem is different - there really is a pressure cooker, the dishes are cooked faster than on the stove. And stew, for example, turns out to be very, very tasty, tender, it just melts. But here's how the multicooker as a whole, she disappointed me.

Why? Firstly, I'm afraid all the time to get burned, the lid leans back inconveniently, from there it immediately fizzles with hot steam. Moreover, the pressure is not immediately relieved.

Then another drawback - a steaming stand. She is uncomfortable, everything falls through her. This function is much better in Vitek.

But the most important thing is that it is very difficult to understand the “Settings” mode. Of course, if you dig deeply, you can probably do it. But personally, I think that the multicooker is good because I turned it on and forgot, and she cooks it herself.

By the way, in the case of this cartoon pressure cooker, it will definitely not work out that way, except that we are talking about cereals. But even the same soup or pilaf - all the same, you must first fry something, and then add something in the process. And she won't open if she cooks it!

In general, for me it is definitely not the best device, and even for 13 thousand.

Advantages:
cooks deliciously

A comment:
I have already left a review and would like to add. the weak valve stopped working; now it works for 5. there are no glitches or failures during the year after the repair. I advise.

Advantages:
1.multi-functionality. a lot of different modes. maybe someday I'll try to make yogurt in it. 2. there is no step-by-step cooking - you loaded the food and you can do other things. this, in fact, was the main purchase criterion. 3.Availability of auto programs

Flaws:
1. the pressure mode is very annoying - this greatly extends the cooking time. until she creates this very pressure and removes the soup is already ready.the mode itself turns out to be useless (why wait for an additional hour is not clear, 20-30 minutes a pressure is created + 30-40 minutes this same pressure is removed = 1-1.5 hours of cooking WITHOUT the cooking mode itself!). after several months of use, the lid began to “stick” poorly, as a result, the pressure regime may come, and the dish is ready at best, at worst it has boiled away / burned out. 2. The steamer is uncomfortable. no steamed cutlets for you and forget about the rice (!) I was preparing a fish and was very afraid to find it at the bottom of the bowl in an unsightly form (I took a chance, because I was cooking trout according to the recipe from the book). Thank God nothing happened! 3. Dishes are more likely to be stewed. pilaf never came out crumbly, although the same rice with the same cooking technology on the stove comes out as it should. 4. Very easily soiled plastic of the case, to clean it you need to spend a lot of time and it's not a fact that in an hour the dust won't stick again. 5.

Advantages:
She prepares tasty soups, rich, rich taste. Convenient bowl with handles.

Flaws:
After half a year of use, the lid began to open badly every other time, after another half a year, as on purpose, the multicooker began to freeze, this is manifested by constant sound signals and the lighting of all illumination on the screen and buttons, while it does not react to button presses. We handed it over for repair, we are waiting for it already from January 25th. The SC said that they were expecting the arrival of spare parts.
When cooking rice porridge in milk according to the attached book, it spits out milk through the pressure relief valve.

A comment:
For not a small price, there are many complaints about the workmanship and workmanship.

Advantages:
This miracle of technology was a birthday present. Immediately I liked the presence of many programs and the function of the pressure cooker! For those who scold this model, I can advise you to read the instructions.
She cooks great, you just need to get a handle on the choice of the program.
She can cook anything! Unless she bakes pancakes)
Boils jellied meat for 1.5 hours.
Fries carrots better than any skillet.
The pilaf is excellent!

Flaws:
The handle on the lid is a little loose, but it's not difficult to twist a screwdriver).

A comment:
many write that they squeak terribly. I consider this only her dignity, you can immediately hear that the food is ready.
P.s after cooking, she still remains to warm up the food, for which many thanks to her!

Advantages:
Fast, tasty, easy, no hassle, just wash.

Flaws:
I have not found it so far.

A comment:
To be honest, this model of a multicooker was imposed on me. I went completely different. BUT. I am very happy! I have been using it for more than a year, I have never had a single problem with it. Cooking is always very tasty, I tried a bunch of recipes all with a bang! I really don't use a standard book. At first I read a lot of recipes on the Internet, but then, having already understood the principle of work, I began to cook myself.She fries, cooks and bakes perfectly, personally, she never spat out anything through the lid or stumbled. Comments like “it cannot be opened during cooking” I find ridiculous in general! It is necessary to imagine the principle of operation of a pan under pressure in order to understand that it will not open just like that and that it will take time for it to set and release pressure, respectively. I use it often, but carefully, wash it, wipe it, open and close it carefully and for a year nothing dangles or squeaks and its brain is not blown away. The bowl does not stick, it is generally like new. I am very pleased! I have experience with other multicooker, but this is my best copy.

Advantages:
appearance, bowl cover.

Flaws:
mostly comments.

A comment:
This is the most unsuccessful model of pressure cooker I have ever had.
In order :

7. If you use it only as a regular pressure cooker (jellied meat, pea soup), it shows itself not bad. But then there is no point in paying that kind of money. There are models of pressure cookers that are almost half the price.

Advantages:
Design, functionality. Convenient bowl handles.

Flaws:
The most necessary “extinguishing” program is selected for a long time from the menu. Inconvenient insert for a double boiler included, I had to cut off the bottom of the druslag so that I could put it on the stand and the food would not fall through the net.

A comment:
We have been using it constantly for two years. Recently, the non-stick coating of the bowl deteriorated; it is metal, and we often use a double boiler (in addition to the supplied metal mesh, the bottom was made of a plastic duster, which can then be easily washed in a dishwasher). On the Internet, nowhere are there any bowls for her on sale, they were already thinking of buying a new multicooker. We went to the Redmond store and after talking with the seller, we found a replacement - a bowl from Redmond RMC-M140 (RB-A541) fits perfectly. As a result, it cost 2500 rubles to replace the bowl. For two years of operation, the valve stuck a couple of times, the cartoon could not gain pressure. After washing the cover and valve, the problem disappeared.
There are convenient handles to get the bowl out of the multicooker, even with freshly cooked hot food.

Advantages:
Safely done. The bowl pleased: it is reliable and comfortable.

Flaws:
The principle of working with pressure, to be honest, pisses me off. I have been using this multicooker for several years now. According to the instructions, I no longer do milk porridge after several attempts. I add milk when heated. Something went wrong in the program: after cooking, you can hardly wait until it releases the pressure and unlocks the lid. Whims with pressure became frequent. Recently, the cover open / fix key has flown off.

Advantages:
Awesome thing, chopped!

Flaws:
2.5 years of use every day, did not reveal - no flaws!

A comment:
This is the best and favorite gadget in our kitchen!
We use it to the fullest: pies, soups, borscht, porridge, pea porridge, stewing anything, yoghurts, steamed products and of course meat! By the way, reference: Cambroke - the legislators of the way of life of technology. it was they who came up with the idea of using plastic in the first e-mails. teapots. As for the valve operation - it is incredibly accurate - with the parameters you set - take the cambryus! =)

Advantages:
1.multi-functionality. a lot of different modes. maybe someday I'll try to make yogurt in it.
2. there is no step-by-step cooking - you loaded the food and you can do other things. this, in fact, was the main purchase criterion.
3.availability of auto programs

Flaws:
1. the pressure mode is very annoying - this greatly extends the cooking time. until she creates this very pressure and removes the soup is already ready. the mode itself turns out to be useless (why wait for an additional hour is not clear, 20-30 minutes a pressure is created + 30-40 minutes this same pressure is removed = 1-1.5 hours of cooking WITHOUT the cooking mode itself!). after several months of use, the lid began to “stick” poorly, as a result, the pressure regime may come on, and the dish is ready at best, at worst it has boiled away / burned out

4. Very easily soiled plastic of the case, to clean it you need to spend a lot of time and it's not a fact that in an hour the dust won't stick again.

A comment:
the model was imposed. I just went to ask the price, in the end I didn't even have time to conduct an Internet review before buying. I wanted it to be in a multicooker, into which you only need to load food, and not an expensive heated pan, in which you still need to stir in time and so on. honestly did not expect that my wish would be satisfied in this way (see point one). in principle, you can get used to it (in operation for about 3-4 years), but I advise others to look for something else.

Advantages:
cooks deliciously.

A comment:
I have already left a review and would like to add. the weak valve stopped working; now it works for 5. there are no glitches or failures during the year after the repair. I advise.

Advantages:
Tasty steamed meat or fish, in addition, it does it relatively quickly.

Flaws:
1) "Stand" for food
2) Operation of the "Pressure Relief" button
3) No temperature setting
4) Recipe book
5) The price is absolutely biased

A comment:
Firstly, I use this multicooker for a long time and often.
Secondly, there is experience of using other multicooker from different companies.
Based on the two statements I have mentioned, I can responsibly declare that this multicooker is not worth buying under any circumstances. The food stand is not convenient (competitors have containers / stands that are more convenient for washing and, in fact, for preparing). The “Pressure Relief” button does not work, as a result, there is no possibility to add anything during the cooking process, and from this it follows that you cannot cook anything unusual / complex / wildly tasty. At the same time, on other multicooker, I did not even think about this problem. You cannot adjust the temperature, which can be critical in certain modes. Book of recipes. It seems to me that it was done in the last place so that it was (competitors have it). Even pictures of the dishes that should turn out are not present for all recipes. I have not yet managed to cook something complicated in this slow cooker. Perhaps you will assume that I have crooked hands. Quite possible. But on other slow cookers I managed to cook deliciously, but on this one I did not. The price is doubled, even taking into account the current exchange rates (I bought it for 9 thousand after the rate increase).

Discussion of functionality, characteristics and features. Questions and answers.

I am very pleased with the multicooker! But I can't find the cooking mode in the menu. I bet on the "soup" mode, but the timer cannot be set in this mode. And it takes a very long time. Who knows what mode you can cook?

I have a Cambroke baby. But the important thing is there is longing. And even the vein meat is tender. The valve is removable.One thing worries - will work out its term, and I do not find her equal. Cost 3.5 tr. This is 4 years ago. The baby protects my health, sleep and gives the opportunity to use a lot of time for herself. I am proud of my cartoon baby!

And what kind of firm are they, where are they from?

The firm itself seems to be Australian.

Thanks! And nothing burns with you? And then on the Internet I only look at everything and complain that something burns in the Kambrook multicooker.

I realized thanks. Well, I'll think about it, although outwardly I really like it.

Vivid reviews of the owners about Kambrook APR401, on the Sony Club mobile portal. Here you can not only read customer reviews, but also leave your review without registration.

you work loudly, the elastic band on the lid inscribes the smells! Review: we went to buy Redmond and offered this one. first disappointment steam release valve

decided to pass but a friend dissuaded and did not regret it! cooks great! at first we could not get used to it

the top is white! we don’t regret buying! meat, fish, soups, yogurt

I like it: Still, a definite plus: the convenience of cooking cereals, cereals, rice is always crumbly. You can quickly make some simple cake or baked goods. Stewing, frying, preparation of dressings is very quick and significantly simplified. I don't like: 1. Can't find a replacement bowl. Support does not even answer this question, where and how the bowl can be purchased separately.
2. In many modes, it is impossible to add ingredients while cooking.
3. Price.
