I always want a rice cooker with steamer, and it is just good for both me and my husband. Easy to use and operate.

  
"Don't waste your money" 2010-08-25

I purchased this rice cooker mainly to cut down on the time required keeping track of brown rice. Not only does it not save any time or hassle, it doesn't even do white rice well. Regardless of ratio of rice to water, setting etc. the rice (white and brown) always ends up sticking or burning and usually undercooked until I add more water and try to bring it back to an edible state. The company has been totally unresponsive to several attempts to figure out why this piece of junk doesn't work.

  
"Works Well" 2010-08-15
By Beverly J. Hall (St. Paul, MN USA)
Does a good job of steaming vegetables. I haven't used it to cook rice yet. The one thing I was a little surprised to discover is that while there is a delay timer to start the cooker at a preset time, it does not have a timer to cook the veggies, unless I missed something. I have to use a separate timer but it does the job. A little nit is there is a clear plastic piece that captures the water condensation when the lid is opened. The manual says nothing about this since it needs to be drained after each use. It is easy to take out the piece, wash it and replace it but I was surprised the manual didn't mention it.

  
"does what it has to do perfectly...." 2010-08-13
By Pramod Padal (NJ)
Did I mention perfectly.... yes every time.... After using for 5 month now... I can say that...
I am from India... we eat rice a lot.... and I cook rice in variety of forms... like Veg Pulao, Veg Biriyani, Tomato rice, shrimp Pulao.... etc... What ever I Cook, I was never disappointed.....

I had couple of different, even cheaper rice cookers like Black and Decker and some thing else....

I always used to blame the rice, for making the rice too soft or sticking a lot at the bottom.... when both of my cookers became old enough, I was looking for something good.... so I was researching on Amazon this time instead of just picking some thing from Wal-Mart.... so after some 100 good reviews.... I gave it a shot.... and guess what...peace of mind.

Cons: however I found one Issue... when I finish cooking and take it on to dining table... it does not come with a glass top. Not a big issue, but that would have been a lot of Convenient.

  
"Think twice before you buy!" 2010-08-09
By Lisa Zurek (Santa Maria, CA United States)
We bought one of these at Costco. It was to replace an old rice cooker that we had had for 8+ years--the plastic finally cracked. This rice cooker looked really modern. It was a piece of garbage. Although the first time or two it was fine---the steam opening on top would spill over into this sticky mess and I would burn my fingers trying to clean it off the top of the lid before it streamed down the sides. I thought that maybe I should rinse the rice out and get rid of some of the starch. Didn't work. Thankfully, I was able to return it (with no receipt!) and get a full refund.
