Cooks rice fast at the expense of rice quality
By A. Tsai
On the upside, this rice cooker is the fastest one I've ever used. The rice is done in ~20 minutes. This is opposed to ~40 minutes for other rice cookers. The downside is that to achieve that speed, the rice cooker gets the pot way too hot. This leads to a layer of rice on the bottom that is dried out. You can fix this problem (to some degree) by immediately unpluging the rice cooker once the button pops up, stirring the rice, adding a little bit of water, and letting it steam in the residual heat.

Some other points of interest:

1. This is cooker is bascially the same size as the 10 cup rice cookers. They just reduced the height. I wanted an actual smaller rice cooker (circumference wise) so cooking small amounts of rice turns out better.

2. Contrary to previous reviews, there is a rice spatula holder!

3. The retractable cord is a nice touch for people who use the cooker infrequently, but useless for people like me who us e it everyday.

4. The parts are rather cheaply made. In particular, the spatula and the steam trap are made from rather flimsy plastic.

5. For the price, it is okay. I've brought cheaper and nicer rice cookers from B&M stores (costco).

WORKS WELL
By K. Lam
The rice cooker works well wnd the steamer tray is very helpful. There are several things that might make this product better. For example, they can include the spoon rest for the spoon they included and also they can make the steam rack fit a little higher in the cooker so that you can cook rice and steam at the same time. Also the design is not the best looking and it's a little too bulky.

Works well
By D. Peterson
Works as advertised. I do unplug when the unit goes into warming mode (as recommended by a couple of reviewers), and haven't had any problems with burning or drying out.
