There's something to be said for simplicity... Measure two cups of rice using the enclosed rice measure. Pour in water up to the two-cup line on the cooking bowl. Push down the switch and walk away.

I primarily use this for cooking jasmine rice and it does a great job. Sometimes it browns a tiny amount of rice on the bottom, but nothing to be concerned about. I probably just need to add a bit more water since I've read that jasmine rice can be finicky in rice cookers.

It's a good size for making rice, but it's a bit small for steaming. I haven't tried steaming any vegetables yet because the basket's too small to really be of much use to me.

It's also good for heating up a can of soup if your microwave splatters and you feel like using the stove is overkill.

One thing that does irritate me a little is that you have to unplug it to turn it off; as long as it's plugged in, it stays in "warm" mode. Not a huge deal, but an on/off switch would've been nice.

My husband bought this rice cooker in 2005 before we met. We use it at least once a month just to make white rice. It doesn't steam veggies or anything like other rice cookers do but we love it. The rice can get a little crunchy or overdone on the bottom but it's not that much rice wasted and I can usually still eat it when heated in the microwave for leftovers. I wouldn't recommend this product if you have a big family or anything but it suits us well.

It is mentioned as 6 cup cooker, which is totally wrong. It is 6 cups of cooked rice not uncooked rice.

We thought it is 6 cups of raw rice to cook, but it is uncooked rice. This cooked rice is not even enough for my 1 kid.
