4.0 out of 5 stars Great deal for the price..., March 8, 2006

I have to say that the main reason I purchased this unit was because of price and it's looks. Most rice cookers around this price are round and look old-fashioned. I wanted a more modern look for our new house, so I took a good look at this one. Once the price dropped for a special deal, I snapped it up quick.
It's a nice, compact unit. Easy to clean and easy to use. The instructions are not the best, but hey -- it's a rice cooker, most people should be able to work it out.
It does make a small mess if you try to cook a lot of rice at once due to the condensation around the steam vents, but otherwise works well and doesn't take a lot of work to clean it.

This is a mediocre rice cooker. I always get a bit burned rice at the bottom and simply better not keep rice more than a couple hours. The point is... it's cheap!

This little gem looks great on a counter top and was very reasonably priced... but has burned our rice every single time we used it. I read the reviews before I bought it and thought we could "get it right", but alas it just does not work well. The metal lid also quickly separated from the plastic overlid -- meaning that when we now try to open the machine, a hot, steamy, often dripping piece of metal comes clattering down from the plastic top.

Sadly, I can't recommend this product.
