I didn't get this for rice; rather, I got it to melt beeswax, so I got the cheapest one I could find. I didn't have the time to melt the beeswax so I actually tried it for cooking rice and was I pleasantly surprised. It's not fancy but it does the job. It has done so well that I have kept using it as a rice cooker. It definitely as some quirks, but overall it works well.As with any of these rice cookers they have their own measuring device. So, you can't just put in 1/2 cup of rice and cups of water. You have to use their "international rice measuring tool". It tells you this up front, but the goofiness of it didn't strike me until I got it and then forgot where I put the little measuring cup. This is not just a drawback of this cooker, it's the same with all of them. Evidently there is some fancy international standard for how to cook rice. So,here's a trick. Just put in a cup of rice and then put water in until it is over the rice by one finger tip. Just stick your finger in and if it comes up to the first joint you are good to go. It has some different criteria for brown rice, but I just ignore that and go with the finger method.The other annoying thing is that there is no automatic shut off or alarm when the rice is cooked. It just has an On switch and it's either cooking or "keep warm". If you don't turn it off the rice will be a bit burnt down at the bottom. This is a minor annoyance and I just set a timer for 15 minutes so it's definitely not a deal breaker.So,if you want a great value on a rice cooker give this one a dance. It does a great job and it doesn't cost an arm and a leg. It's definitely something I would buy again and hopefully it will work well onthe bees wax too, but when I use it for bees wax it's no longer going to be useful for rice so I'll just buy another one.

It's very easy to use. However, the keep warm setting is a bit too warm, and rice gets stuck.

Rice cooks well. Just add the the right amount of water before you cook it. Always dry the bottom and sides of the pot before putting it in the rice cooker. Big help for busy people. Just unplug it when the rice is fully cooked for safety reasons.

It is cute and cooks the rice well with that being said it need to be unplugged to turn it off that is less one star the other is it burns the rice quickly if not watching it closely but if you get it into hot water and dish detergent quickly it comes clean easily enough so for me that gets a 3 starTexture is smooth easy to clean no strange smells. I don't like the no off button it is only warm and cook the size is perfect for my husband and me.

I’ve had for a few years now, very easy to use and I like the quality

It’s not just for rice. It’s used every day in our house making oatmeal. It even softens the roasted cashews we love it. I find that if using with rice it calls for a bit more water so the rice doesn’t stick to the bottom. This is the third one we’ve had and it’s great. With cashews is smells delicious and the size is good enough for one person for sure two if you don’t eat an entire bowl of rice.

The media could not be loaded. It was just the right size rice cooker for me and I was really excited about cooking some brown rice first time.And after I follow all the directions plugged it in it worked and then 10 minutes later when everything was starting to cook it stopped working.As you can see from the photo the nightlight that was plugged into the same place still had electricity so I concluded that The heating element burned out.I tried letting it cool and start over but it didn’t work and when I pulled the pan out, I noticed there was a bit of a burn spot in one part of a corner so apparently the filament electric filament did burn out. I’m gonna have to get it replaced so the product review is a number two but when they replace it if it works, I’ll change it to a five with the same story plus the update on how well a replacement product
