This is a super high quality product, on par with the finest kitchen gadgets available. So if you simply like fine things, it will please you. Even the hefty titanium-clad bowl is a joy to behold.

This machine is designed for easy living. It's smaller than you might think from the pictures. I have handbags that would grab more counter space. However, if you have *no* counter space to spare, the self-retracting cord and bail handle are your friends. Just pick it up and stow it with no fuss. The built in battery keeps the time.

It makes extremely good rice because: 1) It has a special cooking program for any kind of rice you want. 2) It lets you set the texture/firmness to your preference. 3) It automatically keeps the rice warm until you are ready to use it.

Or you can set it to cook your rice very fast, if that's what you need. In either case, the cooker could not be simpler to use. It is much easier and far more reliable than cooking rice in a pot. Click the MENU button to step through your rice varieties. Click the TEXTURE button to step through your firmness options. Click the COOK button to start cooking. Click the STOP button if you panic. There are timer functions that are just as simple to use. Read the manual if you are into that.

Clean up is quick and painless--rinse and wipe. Nothing sticks to the bowl. You snap out the outer vent assembly and inner gasket assembly, both on the door. This is easy to do, but not obvious how to do it. So read the directions. The door is an amazingly complicated device involving valves and gaskets. They don't want any of that to get gummed up. It's an automatic pressure cooker and you must keep it clean to continue enjoying that convenience.

I bought this model because it is a multi-tasker.

The Sanyo ECJ-PX50S 5-Cup Micro-Computerized Pressure Rice Cooker and Steamer is simply the most exquisite rice cooker that you can imagine. I looked long and hard and did much research before my purchase. I almost purchased the Zojirushi because of all the hype. I was told by friends in the know that I had to have a Zojirushi to experience great rice. But tests, user reviews and the specs of the Sanyo kept pulling me back.

Okay, I purchased it a month ago and was immediately impressed with the overall quality. This was my second 5 quart cooker as my last one, a Wolfgang Puck from QVC started burning the rice after five years. I thought I was happy with the Puck; that is until I got perfect rice from the Sanyo. No matter what you think, read, see or envision, you have not tasted great rice until you have rice from this cooker. But there is a catch.

The catch is to never believe ANYONE, including me, when they use the term, "perfect rice." What that really means is perfect rice to them; their individual palette and desired texture of the finished product. I learned by dining with dozens of friends, that what they think is great rice ranges from terrible - to - excellent and many shades in between. The recipe book provided will give you a middle-of-the-road idea for making basically "good" rice, but to use this cooker requires a bit of patience and willingness to experiment. Let me give you my approach and I hope it works for you.

Make your first rice using the method outlined in the booklet. Use their measuring cup as well as the calibration lines on the inside of the bowl, etc. Taste the rice and write down in your notebook a line or two about the rice.

We are a three-person East Asian household: My mother and I are Japanese, and my other half is Korean. Needless to say, we use this rice cooker at least five times a week, and have had it for about a year.

We've decided that eating brown rice instead of white rice about twice a week would be a healthy choice. The pressure cooker feature makes delicious brown rice (we use 2.5 cups regular Japonica brown rice mixed with 1.5 cups of sweet "mochi" brown rice nowadays). For the remainder of the week, we cook white rice, and it does a beautiful job. Once in a while, we make porridge -- the traditional Japanese remedy for when someone is sick -- which can be made excellently by this rice cooker. In that sense, we like all the features that this rice cooker offers, and it is really easy to operate.

I believe the titanium-coated thick inner pot is key to making this such a strong product; it seems to distribute heat evenly inside the pot. So, the problems that one might experience with cheaper or older pots -- like the bottom being slightly burnt ("okoge" in Japanese) -- or areas near the top being slightly undercooked -- does not happen. Rice from every part of the pot -- top, bottom, side and middle -- is cooked perfectly.

So far, so good. I've made rice and oatmeal and used the slow cooker to cook a chicken carcass to make stock.

The size is good for the two of us -- I can cook a small amount of rice or I can make more and have leftovers for the next day.

It's easy enough to clean up. Parts come off and go back on easily.

The timer function is nice, so you can set it early and whatever time you want the food done, it will be done. This was better than I expected, since I figured I'd be setting a time for what time it starts cooking, or start now and go for x minutes, but setting the finish time is much better.

The maximum cook time is 8 hours, so for slow cooking, that's something to take into consideration. If you're nearby, you can just start the cooktime again if you want to cook the heck out of something. On the plus side, once the cooking is done, it switches to the warming feature, so it's not like your stew is going to go to room temp for several hours and poison you if you don't get home on time.

A couple of flaws: The metal shroud around the left side of the cooker wasn't assmbled properly on the unit I got, but once I figured out how it was supposed to fit, I was able to pry it into place. I doubt it would have affected the cooking, and I was surprised that such a well-made product would get shipped like that, but I supposed that every manufacturing plant has an occasional "oops." Not a big deal.

Second, the "cookbook" is a little shy on recipes. I suspect there are a lot more uses for this cooker than are detailed in the instructions, so it will probably take some trial and error. For example, there were no intructions for oatmeal, which would have been nice. I figured it out without much trouble, though.
