I bought a Russell Hobbs Rice Cooker https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B083V9MNF2?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details&th=1 on sale and for the life of me cannot get the rice to not be sticky, have been using Basmati Rice from co-op. Have tried, washing extensively, more water, less water and still sticky - any advice?

I'd start simple and try buying from another brand/supplier
I travel out and buy a large bag of Basmati from the World Foods section of an ASDA that has a large Asian population nearby.

Been really pleased with my Yum Asia Panda one.

Ok.
The rice cooker I got was a gift from the Mrs, I love it, but it's a bit basic and burns the rice at the bottom a bit.
So...........
Spec me an upgrade? Reading through the thread I see fuzzy logic, the problem with a lot of the ones mentioned in this thread, is that they are large, I'm after one that does enough rice for max 4 people, say 5 cup max, plus the smaller the better for storage.
Budget.... Pffft I'm rolling in it these days so whatever.
Cheers in advance.

This will suit your needs, it says 3 people, but it can probably stretch to 4 easily.

Or the more traditional option and dare I say it less fashionable option.
Walk past any university dorms where Taiwanese, Chinese or Japanese are staying you’ll find one of those.

We got one of these for Christmas and it's been hammered several times a week since. It makes great rice every time and is easy to use once you get the hang of it. We've served four from it easily and could probably do more.

Used it today for the first time, I did 3 cups and it was more than enough for the 4 of us, probably try 2 and a half next time.
It's a good rice cooker, I already had one and it used to burn the rice a bit at the bottom, where as other than a very slight discolouration in the corner this didn't.
Other than that, quality of cook say there isn't actually that much in it, I'm not complaining though pleased I got it.
I'll probably donate the old one to my brother.
This was the old one, to be fair for £30 isn't bad.

The main difference would be better consistency top the bottom, better separation of grain and better texture.
There are instances where a burnt bottom rice is desirable…see Hong Kong Claypot rice, but with plain white rice, a consistent top to bottom portion is what you are looking for.

I love my rice cooker, I should have got it years ago.
I throw a block of creamed coconut in with it and it comes out superb every single time. I never ever use any other setting other than the white sushi rice. Even forgot about it and it’s kept it warm (hot) for easily 2 hours and theres no difference in the texture/taste.

Still use mine for over 10 years! Probably need to buy a new one now as it has accumulated some small dings.

Yum Asia Sakura ordered. Never thought a domestic appliance could make me so giddy with excitement!
How is it? I'm just about ready to pull the trigger on that model. Is it big enough for 4 adults? Preferably with leftovers to help with leftover curry for lunch

Easily enough for 4 adults. I'd go as far and say 8.How is it? I'm just about ready to pull the trigger on that model. Is it big enough for 4 adults? Preferably with leftovers to help with leftover curry for lunch
My family are more potato orientated so it's a bit overkill just for me and some extra for next day's fried rice. Had some bananas on the turn so made a cake with them in it which went down quite well.
