Big disappointment
It’s easy to clean and sure looks great on your countertop!
Positive feedback stops here.
I made a mess out of cooking rice (all the negative reviews are true) until I figured that I should use slightly less water than the recommended quantity. After that, I spent 1 year using it nonstop (we eat rice every day).
365 days later, the non-stick bowl is BADLY chipped, like little bubbles that burst on the bottom and left pinhead-sized chips. I swear that I never used anything else than the included plastic scoop (and sponge for cleaning) and never ever scratched it, so I’m 100% sure the non-stick coating quality is to blame.
Add to that that non-stick coating is toxic*, this baby is out of my kitchen as soon as I can afford a Zojirushi. They’re not as elegants, but they last forever.

compact, functional, *and* stylish!
I recently bought this rice cooker for my small kitchen. Its compact cubic shape will take very little space on your counter, and as additional feature is the brushed metal look very attractive. Note that although the body of the stove itself is a bit warm, the edge of the pot and the lid are very hot as the liquid from the cooking of food begins to cook and come out of the seams, which is okay because the pot and lid are easy to clean … but I would not recommend this product if you have children, or if you do not put on a place to get it out of reach of children. The oven also comes with a little recipe book and some rice-water ratios for different types of rice, which is very useful when cooking a new type of rice and a steaming basket for food, before the tip of the little pot and steams is vegetables ( especially when cooking rice!) really well.

Love my rice cooker!
This rice cooker is a great addition to any kitchen. I love the steamer basket addition which allows me to cook additional food items at the same time as my rice. The steamer basket is great for hard and soft boiled eggs. When using this cooker, make sure that you go by the directions on the rice itself, not by the instructions in the manual (rice to water ratio). Also, the rice does have a tendency to boil over. I usually put a little butter in with the rice to prevent this from happening. I’m very pleased with my purchase and highly recommend it.
