"Nice improvement"
This cooker is an huge improvement over my $20 padle-controlled cooker. Nice selection of options and it cooks and entire batch of rice correctly every time. I really like the warming mode after cooking, it makes timing the meal much easier.

My previous cooker regularly over cooked the bottom. I had to double the batch to get the amount I wanted. Or I would try the stovetop, ususlly with similar results.

Other reviews complained about the length of time it takes to cook a batch of rice. While it is true that a 20 minute stovetop batch becomes a 40-50 minute batch, the rice is cooked to perfection. Is cooking a batch of dry and burnt rice in 20 minutes really a comparison?

I find that cleanup is quite easy if I remove the cover from the lid and wash it before the residue dries. The cooking pan is teflon so is easy to clean when I remove any leftovers to the refrigerator. The retractable power cord is way cool, makes storage easy.

The instructions are a little light on cooking grains other than rice. Not surprising given it is a rice cooker. I will have to do some experimentation on cooking Kashi.

"Outstanding Rice Cooker!"
Definitely as advertised. It has made my wife very happy. I highly recommend purchase of this model, as it cooks excellent rice every single time.

"The rice, it is nice"
A cheerful little product. Well made, well priced, and well cooked. Cleaning is easy, and the cord storage is wonderful (automatic retracting power cords should be a law for all small appliances). I haven't had any troubles of any kind.


"What wonderful rice!"
So I've been raised on 'instant' rice, and I just got this rice cooker - and it makes me sad that I was missing out on this delicious rice all those years.

I've cooked around 5 different kinds of rice in this thing (sushi, brown, sweet, basmati, wild rice), and each and every batch has come out absolutely perfect.

I'm dying to try out the porridge feature, I'll have to pick some up soon. One of the coolest features on this cooker is the timer. You set the time you want the rice to be done, and voila, the rice is done for you at exactly that time. So if you don't want to wait around for dinner after you get home, dinner will be waiting for you.

This thing even plays music in place of timer beeps. How cool is that?

This rice cooker is definitely worth paying a little extra more for. It does everything you could possibly want out of a rice cooker and more.

"Very pleased so far."
I received this rice cooker today. I was torn with the size. Can I feed my family, and have leftovers with this? We are a family of five and was torn between the ten cup and the 5.5. After I ordered the 5.5 I really felt like I should have ordered the 10 cup, even though I am not crazy about adding more appliances to my limited counter space. Most reviews don't mention how much this cooker will feed. Well, for my family, we all ate to our hearts content and still had plenty of leftovers. Given that my kids are all eight and under, we don't need a larger cooker. It was quite a bit of rice that it makes! I can probably feed 7 people easily with this cooker. If you entertain a lot, or eat a lot (hello carbs) I'd go the next size up, not a big price difference. It produced excellent Sushi rice, not burned at all on the bottom, a first for me! I have gone from a fancy $$$ Breville, to an Oster and they all burned on the bottom. This came out perfect from the first try. I recommend this rice cooker, didn't give it a five, because I have not had it long enough to give it a perfect rating. Best appliance I have bought in years. Also, would like to add that it plays a cute tune when it starts the cook cycle. It is a unique appliance.
