This is such a perfect and compact little rice cooker that takes the difficulty out of making rice. All I did is measure out the rice I want to make, add water, and push the button for the item I'm cooking. It has a feature to keep it warm for a while so I don't need to worry about it turning off and getting cold. Cleaning is super easy and it takes up very little space on my counter. Definitely see myself making rice a lot more in the future now
