I received this rice cooker a few weeks ago and have been exceptionally pleased with it. Not only does it cook perfect delicious rice every single time. (Something I never seem to do). It also can steam vegetables and make many soups and other meals. I love the versatile abilities. Its so easy to clean and store. Doesn't take up too much room or counter space. Its very easy to use and works so well. I cant say enough wonderful things about it. If you need a veggie steamer or a rice cooker you absolutely should purchase this. You will be so happy you did.
