We eat rice multiple times a week. I’ve been making it for years in the pot (which works great) but decided to give this affordable rice cooker a try. It’s very simple, small, and easy to use clean. Rice is consistently perfect. The machine easily fits in our cabinet. Surprisingly small which is great b/c I don’t have much storage space.

Well, there's not a whole lot that can go wrong. Put in the proper rice, wash it a bit. Leave the proper amount of water so the rice is soft and not crunch in the middle(I really hate it when that happens). So far every batch has been perfect. Just a touch of extra water does the trick. As long as it keeps working for a good long time we will be very happy together. It is small, but it cooks the rice up pretty fast. The only think you can't do is once it's done you can't just leave it on warm. The rice will definitely get burned on the bottom. It's better to take it out, or at least unplug it when it's done. You're suppose to let it sit for a while because it supposedly still cooks for a bit after done, but I haven't found any problems with eating it as soon as it's done. Good stuff. Don't let it burn. 5 stars.

This is a good, affordable, and easy-to-use rice cooker. No crazy buttons like some of the ones I have used in the past from Japan lol, just cook or warm. However, I am giving this review 4 stars because as much as I love it and as much as it has made my life easier when prepping rice, I do think the price and quality shows up here and there. First issue I have noticed: I have never been able to get the automatic sensor to work when cooking my rice. The first time I cooked rice with this thing to make a burrito bowl, I left it on for a bit thinking it would shut off by itself once the water evaporated, but it didn't. Thankfully I didn't burn my rice but it did crisp up and brown a bit on the bottom. Perhaps it's something I am doing, or maybe it's just the model or even my outlet, but as far as I am aware this is supposed to shut off automatically. I don't walk away from this thing while it's cooking so what I do now is just before the rice is done, I turn it to warm (like say a minute or two before it's fully cooked) and let it sit and steam off any remaining moisture, which works out perfectly for me. Second issue: also in my testing I discovered that adding at least a 2:1 ratio of water to rice with oil or butter results in perfect, fluffy, tender, restaurant quality rice every time. AGAIN this may be a personal issue - elevation, weather, water quality, who knows. I'm in Los Angeles so perhaps being so close to the ocean and the local hard water is doing something to my rice. But when I was doing 1:1 or 1.5:1 ratios of water to rice, my rice would be slightly underdone even when fully cooked. Like not crunchy but just a touch bit al dente. I only like al dente when making fried rice as the kernels hold up better when you're beating at them and pushing them around in a skillet, but for curries, bowls, and other applications I like my rice soft and fluffy. Even with more delicate rice like Jasmine or Basmati, I get the most amazing results with 2 cups of water vs just 1. Other than that this is perfect. It's super easy to clean; literally just run it under warm water and any left over rice slides right out. It's also small and cute and portable. For a single person or even a small family I think most people will enjoy having this in their kitchen. If you're more picky or don't mind spending a little more money on fancier options like steaming, brown rice, etc, I recommend upgrading to a Japanese rice cooker.

Great rice cooker! Easy to use and rice comes out perfectly everytime.

I purchased for my wife, I'm a mashed potato and Gravy guy myself, she's the rice eater. She loves this little cooker, she says it makes the perfect size amount of rice for her, she likes the keep warm feature so she can go back for 2nds later and still have nice warm rice. And she says the warming element shuts off automatically by a pressure switch under the cooking bowl, as you empty the bowl, there is a spring loaded device in the center of the hotplate, after cooking it raises slightly causing the cooker to move to the warming mode, indicator lights show which mode it's in. Once the bowl gets light enough that the spring fully decompresses the warming light shuts off the warmer and allows the cooker to cool down for cleaning and storage. My wife says she definitely would recommend this rice cooker. She's used it daily ever since she got it and is very happy with it. If anything changes, I'll post an update.

It cooks rice. HAha, ok, it can cook so many other things like ramen, hardboiled eggs... really anything that uses water to cook. It leaves little mess other than the expected leavings of boiling rice water, but easy to clean. Thermal based timer thing works as intended leaving rice in an AMASE (Asian Man Approved State of Edibility). Ha, I just accidentally came up with that. Anywho, great little affordable rice cooker. Get one! Or Two! 5?
