| 760 RiceCooker POS 5 just get it 2 day ago , already make rice once and steel cut oats twice for breakfast with a timer , i love the timer function since i can set it the night before and be do with breakfast for tomorrow morning ... take I like 5-10min to eat it and its really healthy ... and also 3 cup make alot of rice , it can feed a family of 4 as a side item , i mean I really dont know why one would need 5-10 cup size one , but i guess its nice for big family . overall be very satisfied with the product . | |
| 946 RiceCooker NEG 1 I get it and like it first . the size be good for one person , may work for two . it be convenient in that it cook fast -lrb- about 15min for a cup of rice -rrb- . but this little guy die after 2 week . it just stop work suddenly , leave I starve . I call the customer service and they offer to send a new one to I , but I have to pay for the 8 dollar postage . I do , and I get a new one 2 week later . I handle it more carefully because I learn from past experience that this new cutie might be somewhat fragile too . but very tragically the second one do not last for more than a week . this time , I do not even feel sorry for it . they just do not have the quality that will allow I cook lunch everyday . if you be prepare to give up eat rice soon , this be the rice cooker for you . | |
| 8 RiceCooker POS 5 this be the best buy I have ever make from Amazon ... and I have make quite a few now . I absolutely love this machine and use it everyday for cooking just about every meal from Oatmeal in the morning to Pot Roast in the evening . I use every feature and have even make up way of use this machine that be not specify . I have make great Tofu , Hard Boiled Eggs , Rice , preserve , Soups & Stews and so much more . a great machine at a great buy ... you wont regret it ! | |
| 61 RiceCooker NEG 2 I buy this cooker in May 2011 , and have use it at least twice a week ever since . within 2 month , the steamer tray become very warped . in addition , the cooker make a huge mess every time i use it . it do not seem to do it as bad when cooking white rice , but since I cook mostly brown rice and quinoa , it get sticky watery mess all over the place . I think we could deal with it , but my counter be get stain ! Time to replace the cooker ! | |
| 718 RiceCooker POS 5 we have the larger version of this cooker , which cook rice perfectly . what we like about this little one -lrb- apart from the slick stainless steel look -rrb- be that for one meal for 2-4 people , it be just the right size . it cook much faster , in part due to the smaller area for steam , etc to go . we love this product , and highly recommend it . | |
| 9 RiceCooker POS 5 Effective & inexpensive rice cooker . prepare softer grain rice -lrb- Thai Jasmine -rrb- to perfection . Black , brown , & red variety use more water & take longer to cook . spray a small amount of oil in the bottom of the removable , aluminum pot to help prevent sticking . Automatic thermostat switch to warm when do , keep rice warm for hour . | |
| 79 RiceCooker POS 5 I do a lot of research prior to choose the Zojirushi rice cooker and luckily for I by the time I be ready to purchase the company have come out with this model ns-vgc05 which be very compact and perfect for one person or even two . it do a amazing job of cook the rice to perfection . the instruction be easy to follow especially for be a novice . I be anxious to try the different setting for different rice and cake . I call the company to find out about the build in clock . the instruction do not explain whether you have to have the unit plug in to recharge the clock . the answer be that you do not have to have it plug in . it be a lithium battery that have a 5-6 year life and then you would call the company directly to have it replace . the clean up be really easy again by follow the instruction . I highly recommend this product . it be definitely worth the money pay !!! | |
| 441 RiceCooker POS 4 this rice cooker be right appropriate for I and my roommate , and it look so cute . I expect it would last long . | |
| 881 RiceCooker NEG 1 Dont buy this rice cooker , rice boil over all the time . and eventhough it say it can hold 1 1\/2 cup of uncooked rice . it hold only 3\/4 cup of uncooked rice . very disappointed ... not sure how it work so well for other . | |
| 515 RiceCooker NEG 1 first , it turn out to be a LOT smaller than you would think . one cup of rice and two cup of water fill the pan all the way to the top , to the point where grain get blow out of the little steam-release hole in the glass top . in the three time I use it it always leave a very burned layer at the bottom . not just some crispy stuff , but burn all the way black . then the worst -- after three use the whole unit burn out and stop work . this be cheap , but no matter , a complete waste of money . | |
| 592 RiceCooker NEG 2 it make excellent rice , I 'll give it that . but after 3 year of relatively light use -lrb- it spend 8 month of that time in storage while I be search for a permanent job -rrb- , the bottom be flake . not scratch , actively flake . I use the scoop provide and most of the time , I just wipe the pot clean . occasionally , I use dish soap -lrb- chemical-free -rrb- and a non-abrasive scour pad when starchy residue build up . it make excellent rice and porridge , but now I be look at drop another $ 100 + on a appliance when it should have last longer . one of my asian friend be still use she mom 's first Zojirushi and it be 20 year old ! I absolutely can not recommend this rice cooker . | |
| 434 RiceCooker NEG 1 inside be a steam rack , not a steam basket as show in the picture . so I return it and buy another one . just do not trust the picture . | |
| 216 RiceCooker POS 5 this be my first rice cooker and I do not really understand how I ever live without it . it be really easy to use . and the rice always come out perfectly . for a super fast meal , through in some veg in the steamer tray and I have get a complete meal . I be a little worried at first about the size , since I only cook for myself . but once I have rice , I find different way to eat it and I have never regret have a abundance of the stuff . definitely a win . | |
| 660 RiceCooker POS 4 I love the convenience of this cooker but I find that it take twice as much water as the instruction call for to obtain tender , fluffy rice . the first few time I use it I put the recommend amount of water in and find the rice would burn before the cycle be complete . other than that this be a handy little product . | |
| 707 RiceCooker NEU 3 I be not terribly happy with this rice cooker . we typically only make 2 cup of rice to serve 2 adult and a toddler . to avoid have the bottom layer of rice overcooked -lrb- i.e. crispy and brown -rrb- the instruction say to rinse the rice until the water be clear . do so take a significant amount of time and effort , which be not what I want to do after work while run around after a toddler and a infant . and after you spend several minute rinse the rice , it still take 40-45 minute to cook the measly 2 cup of rice . plus , the cooking pot , steam rack , and serve paddle be not dishwasher safe . so you have to spend additional time handwashing everything when you be do . lastly , there be nothing to indicate how much cook time be leave -lrb- even approximately -rrb- , so you just have to know how long it be go to take and keep track of the timing yourself . on the plus side , the cooking pot wash very easily by hand , even with the overcooked , crispy browned rice stick to it . it be a attractive appliance , too . I also like the little side pocket that catch the condensation that run down when open the lid . it be easy to pop off and empty the collect water . still , I would not buy this particular product again . | |
| 951 RiceCooker POS 5 look around for a bargain to occasionally make that perfect asian rice . this be definitely it ... perfect every time . also , I have no idea how long the battery for the clock and setting last , but we lose power for 3 day , and nothing be lose . | |
| 605 RiceCooker NEG 2 EMPTYSTRING | |
| 542 RiceCooker POS 4 I didnt check on its dimension before buy it . although I love Amazon but I never understand how could Amazon be so ignorant in about product description . it not just about this product , they dont explain the specification and detail of the product as good as it could be see in google online purchase . many time I have to google the product , do its webssite , check the detail and then come back to amazon and order it . nonetheless it be certainly a very small cooker , just good enough for cooking rice enough for 2 people -lrb- if they eat normally : d -rrb- . Cooker work great . be use it for 6 month and no complain yet . | |
| 7 RiceCooker NEG 1 - work ok but require too much clean up . there be a lot of spill even when cook only 1\/2 cup - totally break down after less than 2 week . no power whatsoever when plug it in . - i be go for another brand and never go to trust black and decker again . | |
| 285 RiceCooker POS 5 this be my first rice make so I can not compare it to other , but it work great . it make it so easy to make great rice . not only do it do it for you while you attend to other task , but it do it just right . not to dry , not to wet . I highly recommend this product if you use rice in you menu . | |
| 225 RiceCooker POS 5 I have be use this every day for about a month and it work perfectly with perfect rice every time . the really nice thing about it be that you can time the rice to be do at a certain time , so then you do not have to wait in order to soak the rice , you just fill up the cooker again after you finish the rice and time it to cook the next batch . it keep the rice warm automatically , and the warming feature work really well . I have keep rice warm for a full day , and it seem to stay nice . I recommend that you get a big bag of good quality rice like tamanishikus and have at it . | |
| 470 RiceCooker POS 4 Works great just like another review i read you need to put a towel underneath it or it leave a film | |
| 763 RiceCooker POS 4 just get it and right out of the box the first batch be perfect . subsequent batch leave over 15 min . on heat setting get some browning to the rice , bur not all that much . also have one occasion of collect starchy moisture where the handle be . the steamer ` basket ' have hole too large to keep frozen pea from fall through , not a really big issue , I just put they in with the rice now - perfect solution . all say and do , it do what its suppose to so I give it a thumb up . | |
| 137 RiceCooker POS 5 love my new rice cooker ! I get it through amazon prime , so it arrive in 2 day . the box come with the instruction book that have receipt you can use . I dont have a kitchen in my studio apt and this cooker have save I so much money . I be eat healthier and the food come out great and be do fast ! I even make chicken noodle soup with this cooker : -rrb- . go and get this baby ! | |
| 670 RiceCooker POS 4 have it for about a month -lrb- use about 10 time -rrb- . good product for I so far . do not stick when I cook rice . cook pretty fast . one of the concern that I have when read other review be that the cooker would spew water when cooking . this be not the case with mine . this make barely just enough rice for two people . one person really if you love rice , but you can always make more b\/c it cook pretty fast . I have not use the steam option . it look too small for I to use . happy with the purchase from Amazon . fast shipping with good packaging . | |
| 299 RiceCooker POS 5 I recently purchase this very rice cooker . with as much Hanmi steam rice that I eat , I easily justify the expense . incidentally , I find the lowest price right here at Amazon.com - simply could not beat it ! this unit be one amazing little computerized cooker . I do not think it would be possible to have the restaurant quality rice at home . on my first try , the rice be even better than that ! what a delight to have it come out so beautifully cook and ready to be serve . I simply can not emphasize how pleased and impressed I be with Zojirushi . simply the best ! regards , Randy S. www.lovethatkimchi.com | |
| 925 RiceCooker NEU 3 this model make exceptional and easy rice . but whoever the idiot be that decide it need a carb -lrb- hole -rrb- should be reprimand . previous model with a bubble lid work just fine and avoid have a starchy mess all over you counter and floor area . I suggest line the surround counter with damp towel , and one on the floor as well before turn this messy machine on . | |
| 467 RiceCooker POS 5 I receive it but have not get a chance to use it yet . but it look very nice and the quality be very good . I love it . | |
| 922 RiceCooker POS 5 I just use my rice cooker yesterday and be very pleased with the result . it make just enough for my family size -lrb- there be only two of use -rrb- and the clean up be easy . I be concern about the sputter that I have read that other rice cooker make . I do not encounter that problem at all . I use jasmine rice in mine and decrease the amount of water in by a 1\/4 of a cup . I also rinse it quite a few time and since I do not have a proper strainer -lrb- I believe I read that a mesh strainer would be good for this -rrb- I still have some water leave over . that be the reason for the water decrease , although it would not have be more than a few tablespoon at best . it cook a lot quicker than I think it would . the instruction say to stir at the 15 minute mark , which I do . about a minute later , the light switch to the warming function . I have not use the steamer tray yet since I usually just stir fry mine but I will give it a try with some green bean . not sure how it will work but I 'll give a update on its success or failure . all in all , I can see myself get a lot of use out of this product . | |
| 153 RiceCooker NEU 3 upon open the package , the first thing I notice be the low quality of the component . the steam tray be a flimsy piece of plastic that sit at the top of the rice cooker . the rice cooker \/ crockpot container itself be removable , which be nice , but it also appear to be cheap and poorly construct . I feel like I be go to break this thing after a few more use . neither the primary container or the steamer have handle , so you will likely burn yourself as you try to remove you food . my steam tray stain after the first use even though I wash it immediately after remove my food . do this product work ? yes . be there better product that will make I happier ? yes . that be say , I should also mention that I still plan on keep this and use it regularly , but it be not my favorite kitchen gadget . perhaps I can find a way to fashion a handle for the steamer and then all will be well in the world , or at least better . | |
| 479 RiceCooker NEU 3 so my rice cooker die yesterday . I plug it in like usual , and in mid-cook the cooking light go off and it never come back on . check the plug etc but nope , it be dead . check when I get it - December 2010 . so for 25 buck I get just under 2 year use out of it . I have no complaint about how it make rice and I know it be not expensive , but I be still surprise it only last this long . I 'll say 5 star for performance but only 3 star for longevity . | |
| 56 RiceCooker NEG 2 this cooker be good for 1 person serve of rice . it be too small for 2 person . the product look cute . | |
| 59 RiceCooker POS 4 you can read my original 1-star -lrb- should have be zero -rrb- review below . after post it , I email a copy to aroma through they web site . I receive a email back say I could have it fix through warranty . I write back thank they for respond , but point out they have not actually read what they be respond to since the point be that they make it more expensive to have it fix under warranty than it would be to buy it new -lrb- again -rrb- . next day a aroma rep call I . I have to explain again that they warranty term make the warranty worthless and why . she response , `` well , that would just be silly ! it would make no sense . '' -lrb- that be my point . -rrb- she go on to say that they have change they warranty from what be include with the product precisely because it be ridiculous to ask the customer to pay more than the replacement cost to get a warranty repair . she tell I that all I have to do be to provide proof-of-purchase . no return . no s&h; fee . I go online to my amazon account , save the order as a pdf and email it to the rep. within a week a new rice cooker arrive . admittedly , I have not try it -lrb- because I have already purchase a different-brand replacement locally -rrb- . hopefully , the replacement aroma cooker will last more than two time . still , I be impressed that they respond , call , and replace the unit . o r i g i n a l r e v i e w s t a r t s b e l o w : I love the red color . this be go to be a great fit for the decor at my cabin . three time this work just fine . the fourth time it get so hot that the bottom inch and a half of rice be a solid brick . I pull the pot out of the cooker and set it down into water in the sink . it fizzle , pop , steam for a unreasonably long time . the burnt rice be so harden that it come right out in one piece . however , after wash the pot with just a soapy sponge , I realize that the teflon coating be flake off . still , I try again to see what would happen . I find that it only know the hottest setting -- no simmer , not `` warm '' -- just extremely hot . I have check the warranty . forget it . really , in all honesty , there be no warranty on these . for a warranty claim , you have to call to get a rma . then ship it back to they at you expense . and you have to include $ 13 to have they ship a replacement or repair one back to you . so , the get it repair under warranty will cost more than just buy another . | |
| 284 RiceCooker POS 5 I be one of those people who believe in `` the less clutter , the better , '' so I be always loathe to purchase kitchen equipment that I might never use . I fear complicated and difficult-to-clean device in particular . in my house , thing that be not dishwasher safe go to Goodwill in a hurry . no part of the Zojirushi cooker be dishwasher safe , but that do not stop I from fall in love with it after the first batch of perfectly-cooked rice . unlike the pot I use to use to cook rice , this little machine 's solid non-stick coated bowl slough off any and all bit of rice with the lightest brush of my hand . it be a cinch to clean . handwash the rice cooker bowl take thirty seconds . that be less time than it use to take I to prewash\/scrub the pot I use to use to cook rice before put they in the dishwasher . what be more , the rice come out perfectly and evenly cook ; the machine play cute song when start and stop the cooking process , make cooking seem a little less awful -lrb- I hate cooking -rrb- ; the timer function mean I do not lose any sleep get fresh rice ready at 5 be when I pack my husband 's lunch ; and the mixed rice function let I throw in bit of chicken or other item to be cook at the same time . I could not be happier with this rice cooker and would recommend it to anyone who be consider a small cooker for they own family . | |
| 889 RiceCooker POS 5 I have be use this rice cooker for 10 month now , and it have make a perfect batch of rice every single time . it be easy to use and clean up , and the warming feature work perfectly -lrb- I have accidentally leave it on for over a hour without any issue -rrb- . highly recommend , especially at under twenty dollar . | |
| 736 RiceCooker NEU 3 Exterior be nice but a little dissapointed with the performance compare to my old make in Japan Zojirushi it cook adequately but froth up liquid onto the lip under the lid and also burn the rice on the bottom I dont really recommend it for the price . make in Japan product be the best because they care about quality for they citizen and not just to make some make in cheap China export to sell to Americans at a high profit margin without regard to function and quality | |
| 697 RiceCooker NEG 1 Update 30 November 2011 : DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT . as of 8 month ago , the nonstick coating on the rice cooker pot start come loose . I think nothing of it , because it be minor scratch . over time , the nonstick start flake off into the food , so I start to get nervous . I call the part people , who inform I that the part be no longer there , and be discontinue . funny how the rice cooker be still be sell at full price . in other word , after about two year , you 'll start lose the nonstick , and you will not be able to replace it . in other word , this thing have last I all of three year flat , and I can not replace something that should be a relatively simple thing to replace . what be worse be that Sanyo 's customer service be nonexistent . I can not find the number to call they customer service directly . thing be not be build like they use to be . I should have spend the tiny bit extra , and buy the Zojirushi . that be what I 'll be do next . thanks for the horrible customer service , Sanyo . I 'll never be buy from you again . other annoyance : I make brown rice all the time . the cooker always default back to white rice , rather than remember my last choice . it also take a extra 30 minute longer than rice should take . brown rice take close to 90 minute , not 45 , like I be use to . White rice take at least 45 minute . over time , the sensor must be go wonky , because in spite of my measure perfectly each time , the cooker err on the side of mushy . the number on the inside be write in ink , and not stamp into the pot . this mean that the number rub off . where do they go ? Into my food , clearly . I be very careful with my rice cooker , because it cost a fortune , and the thing be use literally every day . I only wash it with mild dish soap , and a soft sponge . it never go in the dish washer , because we have no dish washer . so now , the simple task of measure my rice be a huge pain , because I have to squint to see the number 's impression . the lid that fit over top of the pot , and as a liner to the lid of the cooker start to get gross look over the course of 3 month or so . again , they be never place in the dish washer . the entire machine be shoddily make , and I be furious at be stupid enough to spend that kind of money . | |
| 904 RiceCooker POS 5 I do not have much to add that have not already be say . I have own this rice cooker now for 7 + year now -lrb- it be actually my first non college textbook purchase from Amazon -rrb- and it be perfect . it work great for 1-3 people , and I have never have any issue with it that be not cause by my own mistake of measurement . I will say that sometimes you have to figure out the best combination of water level\/cooking set for the rice you be try to cook , but once you have get it the way you like it the Zojirushi cook it consistently every time . I also have not have issue with the nonstick coating of the bowl except for a few scratch cause by someone use a metal spoon to scrape rice from the bottom , even they be minor though . overall a amazing product ! | |
| 549 RiceCooker NEU 3 I cook rice everyday . the cooker itself look nice and it be great while the moisture seal be new and supple , but after a year or so this rubber seal tend to flatten . and then you will not be able to keep the rice warm too long before you have rice that be dry on top and soggy at the bottom . this be the 2nd zojirushus Microm i have own with the same problem and yes the teflon on the bowl wear off too . Wish it be stainless instead . | |
| 814 RiceCooker POS 4 this rice cooker be great . I love the button top and the design and look of it . it cook the rice really well . the only downside be the inside cooking pan be not great . I put it in the dishwasher , which maybe I should not have do so it be kind of discolor now . overall , the cooker be great though . | |
| 835 RiceCooker POS 5 I purchase the Aroma Rice Cooker and Food Steamer after Thanksgiving as a present for my wife for Christmas . she quickly open the box , read the instruction and begin prepare a evening meal . she love it because she can steam veggy the way she like . she love the cooker . | |
| 513 RiceCooker POS 5 my wife and I just love the rice cooker because of the quality of the cooking bowl and the design layout be very simple and straight forward . the cooking time be about 35 min for two people and 55 min for four people . overall , this be a good rice cooker and we love it . | |
| 401 RiceCooker NEG 2 I purchase this rice cooker to replace one I have have previously . the price be right and it have the capacity I want and it even have a please appearance . but that be about all it have go for it , unfortunately . this cooker do a good job cooking the rice . I have cook a few batch of brown rice in it so far . the rice have come out well cook . better than my previous cooker , even ! some rice do get stick to the bottom , but I have a feeling that be a drawback of any rice cooker , really . my biggest complaint be its poor design . this pot be not make well at all ! all rice cooker have a steam vent , but in this case , the water from the steam vent almost seem to bubble out of the vent hole and drip down onto the counter top . while you can certainly put down a towel to soak up the water that drip down , that should not be something you would have to do , but for this pot , you really should . other issue include where the water from the steam collect . the first time I use the pot , the water collect around the inside seam where the lid seal when it be close . you open the lid when the rice be do cooking and water can drip down into the heating element 's area . I also find that water will collect in the hinge of the pot . I pick it up to go put it away after have clean it , and water pour all over my shirt from where it have collect in the hinge ! the pot seem to cook decently , but it suffer from poor design that produce excess mess to clean up . I 'll continue to use the pot until it wear out , but I will not be buy another one when it be time to replace this one , and I would not recommend this pot to anyone look for a rice cooker . | |
| 436 RiceCooker POS 4 I really like it , but it be ... really ... way too small . which be fine if that all you want it for be the rice part , but i do get it for also steam broccoli and I can barely fit a entire bag from the store into the smoker tray . just know that before you buy one . | |
| 330 RiceCooker POS 5 have own 1 rice cooker before this one I be tempt to replace my old one with a similar one that cost about $ 20 . it last I 22 year and be still go strong when someone in my household run cold water on the hot glass lid . quite a mess by the way . I assume all rice cooker burn on the bottom before I can across the $ 50 - $ 100 - $ 200 - $ 400 rice cooker . I have sticker shock for about week before I finally take the plunge and buy the Zojirushi WAC10 5 1\/2 cup . let I back up . I actually buy a 10 cup aroma as a replacement . I like it and the $ 40 price . the problem be everything I read say you have to cook at least 2 cup . it be just my wife and I and despite what I read all over the place the two of we can not eat 2 cup of uncooked rice . I bring it home and verify 2 cup be too much and we do not like leftover rice . I be only a 230 pound fellum so you can guess I be a pretty light eater -lrb- ha-ha -rrb- . I sell it to a buddy at work and buy the Zoji . I be impressed in every way . I cook 2 cup of brown rice tonight . it take about 1:45 minute to cook and be great . if you do not know it , brown rice take a long time to cook . it will probably cook white rice in around 30-40 minute . my old cheapie would cook it in 20 . Time be key , not the speed mind you but the quality it give you with even control heating . the fuzzy logic or whatever it be make the rice in the Zoji come out far better without stick to the bottom than my $ 20 unit . by the way , the $ 40 aroma from Walmart do not stick either . be it worth 3 time as much or more to get the Zoji , do not know for sure , time will tell . I do know that by go ahead and spend the money now I will not have to look over my shoulder and wonder if I could have have better rice on the dinner table . other stuff : I like the detachable cord for storage . I be not crazy about retractable cord . I replace one on my vacuum and it cost $ 100 . if I have to replace this one it will be cheap . handle be neat but not need . the etch fill line inside be easy to read and should be easy to read year from now . Easy to program and use . Pretty small footprint . I think a 5.5 cup will easily feed 6 adult . 4\/6\/12 : I have own this cooker for over a year now . still love it . best tip I get for cooking white rice be rinse the rice until the water be clear before cooking . it really help keep the rice from sticking . | |
| 113 RiceCooker POS 4 I get what I think be one of the better rice cooker for my boyfriend for Christmas . I go thru the trouble of have it ship in for the holiday as we be go skiing . we get it home and try it out . we be so excited . each time we use it , it make a huge mess all over the counter top no matter how much we make or how little we make . finally we give up and try this one . it have be a dream . we have make all different kind of rice , grits , oatmeal , and no fuss , no mess . it even have a fast cook set that we use most of the time - we do not plan for dinner quite well enough to do it the long way . the fast cook method be just as great . we have be creative and try some of we own recipe and make thing up . no mess , no fuss ! the instruction book that come with the cooker be not great but be creative . it have be great and so easy . we both laugh when the little tune play as you begin and end cooking cycle . it be worth a bit extra to spend to get a great product . thanks Amazon for you great policy as well . I highly recommend this cooker and we be tough on thing . it have be great ! | |
| 313 RiceCooker POS 5 if you buy or have buy this machine , than you my friend have arrive . this little machine be the ultimate in rice and steam cooking , basically whatever you want it to do within 30 minute and its do . I personally like make my crushed red pepper chicken with rice . have fun with this , its simply perfect . | |
| 140 RiceCooker POS 5 love this cooker ... be a indian you know we make all ur food and veggy in cooker ... make malaus kofta and fry rice quickly with its help ... . great price work great no complaint ! | |
| 419 RiceCooker POS 4 I use to cook my rice in a pot , but it always bubble over and make a mess . so , I decide to buy this one because it have good review and look similar to the one my roommate buy from Japan . I love it ! it be be about 6 month since I buy it and it have work well . I find that Jasmine rice work best and I do have to experiment a bit with the water to rice ratio before perfect it . it steam my dumpling and veggy very well . I do have issue with the rice be too hard if I leave it in the pot on `` warm . '' but that be no biggie . my advice be to clean it immediately after all the rice have be remove . wipe down the top and empty the condensation catcher . | |

Wish I would buy one year ago . just measure in the grain and water , set and walk away . after a while the grain be warm and wait , with a warmer feature to keep they hot , but still moist -lrb- tight seal -rrb- , until I be ready to eat ! Dishwasher safe , easy to clean . if you be new at steam grain , they may come out too dry\/hard or too mushy until you figure out the right proportion of grain to water . like rice and pasta , you want not too soft and not too hard , but tender all the way through . add more or less water until you know the right proportion and measure every time . you will have perfectly steamed grain and it will take only seconds to measure the water and grain once you have the proportion right . whole grain be healthy to eat ! buy in bulk and save money ! check out `` handy pantry '' -lrb- on Amazon -rrb- for huge bucket of millet , amaranth , quinoa , etc. . | |
| 102 RiceCooker POS 5 I buy this rice cooker after try other and nothing come close to how this rice cooker make rice . it be excellent . the rice come out perfect everytime . soft , fluffy , tender and just right . I buy the 3-cup rice cooker and if you serve the perfect portion it serve about 6 people -lrb- a spoon & 1\/2 -rrb- . it be compact and easy to keep clean and store in any small space . I think this be the best rice cooker i have ever own . I love it !! | |
| 778 RiceCooker NEG 1 the coil blow in the first few use . I think B&D; make generally good product , but not this time . have to return it and get another brand from target . | |
| 886 RiceCooker POS 5 I struggle with a cheap rice cooker for year and get this as a gift . it make rice so magically perfect , I could not believe it . each grain be tender , and not sticky and just the `` al dente '' of rice . yes , it cost 4 time as much as other cooker , but it be worth every single penny . this company make awesome thermos too ! | |
| 979 RiceCooker POS 5 I would be have trouble with a brown crust form on the rice . then one evening I forget to put salt in the rice . Lo ! the rice cook perfectly , there be no brown crust and the rice be delicious . -lrb- it have the consistency and taste of rice from a good chinese restaurant . -rrb- so I get excellent rice for dinner and low sodium content to boot . other have suggest stir the rice at various stage of the cooking process . that can not hurt -- but I do not stir the rice and there be no problem -- once I leave the salt out . unfortunately , there be no bell or buzzer to let you know when the rice be finish cooking . so you do have to pay attention . but then , this device cost less than $ 20 not over $ 200 . I definitely recommend this rice cooker for small family or singles . it would work very well in a small apartment or anywhere if the cook top space be limit . | |
| 945 RiceCooker POS 5 we purchase this rice cooker several year ago and absolutly love it . not only could we not mess up the water to rice measurement -lrb- rice cooker adjust -rrb- but we rice stay great for 3 day . that be unbelievable !! we main diet be rice so I can say that with confidence and experience . we use ours for year until it be beyond use . since then I have be through 3 different brand and everyone of they could not even compare . either they dry out the edge of the remain rice the next day or it be soggy and start spoil quickly . all be horrible and a waste of money !! I highly reccommend this rice cooker . cost may be a bit more but worth every penny . | |

I have not notice any problem with it . it cook rice , stew , soup , potato and spaghetti in less than 30 minute . it be so convenient and light to lift or carry . I use it at my dorm and I hope it 'll last for at least two year . the only concern I have be that the inner coated part of the pot might begin to peel off if I use a steel spoon or fork on it : -lrb- but I will be careful and use only ceramic or plastic on it . other than that , it be a great product ! and I be happy use it : -rrb- | |

| 229 RiceCooker POS 5 I have be use this thing basically every day since I receive it -lrb- about 1 month ago -rrb- . it be perfect for serve 1 or 2 people . very reliable and easy to clean . accurate cooking and very convenient automatic shutoff as I often forget to check on what be cooking downstairs . unbeatable price . even if it be to break today I would order another . | |

| 151 RiceCooker NEG 2 this be probably the smallest rice cooker mankind can build . please remember this product be extremely small , and most probably not what a rice eater be look for ! the product description on amazon say its a 3 cup cooker . what I realize after it arrive be the fact that it hold 3 cup of `` cook '' rice . also the cup volume be only 135cc ! | |
| 286 RiceCooker POS 4 like the color ; the bright red match the rest of my kitchen stuff . and it be just the right size for two people . not for more people . get something else if you require a rice cooker for larger gathering . | |

| 371 RiceCooker POS 4 I read some review before purchase this product . what concerned I be when other mention that the water spill over or bubble over onto counter top . but after use this product for a while , I do not know where those reviewer get that idea . it be never bubble over and I think the only reason why it will bubble over be if you put in too much water . and the hard crust will only form if you leave it on warm for a extended period of time . besides , the manual mention that there will be some crust formation so I take that as be forewarn . this be a great product and it do what it say it will do so I will recommend it to everyone . I have not use it for that long so I can not comment on the durability though . | |

I read review and be happy with my final decision ... be go strong over a year now on this model . I would buy this again in a heartbeat . | |
| 767 RiceCooker NEG 1 I buy this model because of the `` titanium bowl , '' as I want to avoid teflon . it turn out , the bowl might be a teflon-titanium blend , it might be titanium with a teflon inner coating , it might be God know what . I have have the rice cooker for three year and yes , it have be great . until the bowl start flake , like any other teflon bowl . if you see gold spot inside you bowl , then it be flake and you have to throw it out . the problem ? there be no replacement bowl to buy . I have be on the phone with Sanyo and various part distributor all afternoon . the part -lrb- the inner bowl -rrb- have be back-ordered for 3 month and the part distributor have not be able to get any information from Sanyo . I find that strange , consider they be still manufacture this rice cooker !! so now , instead of spend $ 20 on a new bowl , I have to spend $ 100 + on a new rice cooker . do you think it be go to be another Sanyo ??? I do not . but what to do about the darned teflon bowl that they all have . I might have to get a stainless steel model , and suck it up on the cleanup . or maybe a Zojirushi , and I will just have to commit to buy a new bowl every year . at least you can buy a new bowl for those . | |
| 380 RiceCooker POS 4 I have only use it a few time - but I really like it . at first the rice be just a bit dry , but I add two tablespoon more water than usual and it come out just right . I be use plain , bulk , indian rice , long grain , no-rinse rice . I ignore the mark inside the pot ... I just add twice the water as I do rice -lrb- by volume -rrb- , plus 2 tablespoon water , and it be fine . I use the plastic measure cup that come with it to measure rice and water . I use my regular kitchen tablespoon measure to add the 2 extra dose of water . I have not try the other function , so I can not comment on they - it bake bread too , but I have not do it . it make much better rice than I have be able to do on the cookstove in a pot ! if you can afford it , buy it , as it make cooking easier . | |
| 491 RiceCooker NEG 1 I love rice cooker . this one be go to be a upgrade for I , but it break after 2 use . I dont know how you would clean the lid properly . I like to chuck all the bit in a dishwasher and do not get to do that with this one . look for another now . | |
| 585 RiceCooker NEG 1 aroma arc-150sb 20-cup Digital Rice Cooker and Food Steamer THIS RICE COOKER be a 10 CUP RICE COOKER . it be told to ME that it be a 20 cup cook RICE !! have ANYONE ACTUALLY measure cook RICE to ACTUALLY get 20 cup ??????? when you advertise for 20 cup you measure 20 cup of UNCOOKED RICE !!!!!!!!!!!!!

SO be a 10 CUP RICE COOKER ACTUALLY A 5 CUP UNCOOKED RICE COOKER ????? advertise it correctly do not mislead customer !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! | |
| 849 RiceCooker POS 5 this be the best rice cooker i have ever own . its easy to use and make wonderful rice . I make steel cut oats every morning and brown rice every night . I just set it at night and its ready for breakfast and then put brown rice in and set it for when I get home from work . I would highly recommend this rice cooker if you a rice `` expert '' and appreciate the taste and texture of well cook rice . BEST KITCHEN APPLIANCE EVER . | |
| 132 RiceCooker NEU 3 as a single person I loathe shopping for a rice cooker . after browse target and Bed Bath and Beyond I be sad because they seem to sell only huge rice cooker . Leftovers be good but one person do NOT need a 10 cup rice cooker . this be the perfect size for one , maybe two , people . it cook quickly , clean easily , and can steam vegetable or meat so you do not have to dirty two appliance for dinner . I have two gripe about it though . first one be the bowl sit on the heating element be hold down by the lid and food inside . sometimes if I lift the lid to stir , the bowl pop up and off the heating element and the switch go from cooking to keep warm . then you must reset it and risk burn the food if you be not watch . the second be that there be no cookbook or recipe in with the appliance . first appliance I have buy that do not at least have a handful of recipe in the instruction guide . you be leave to pretty much guess the time and amount for most of the cooking . | |
| 949 RiceCooker POS 5 I rarely have rice as a child and when I do , it be boil-in-a-bag or rice pilaf . well , my husband and he family eat rice every day . in fact , they do not consider it a meal unless there be a side of rice . they also have this tradition where they would scrape the burnt portion off the bottom of the rice cooker and divide it up evenly so that no rice be waste . needless to say , I be not a fan of this tradition . so I get rid of the $ 20 rice cooker and get this guy . and I be in love . I have make at least one batch of rice every day for a year and I have never have a burnt batch or mushy batch . it come out perfectly every time . I cook many type of rice : white , brown , black , basmatus , jasmine , short-grain , wild rice , etc. . it be suitable for all of these . my husband hate brown rice before this cooker and now he eat it several time a week . there be two negative , but I do not think they be bad enough to warrant fewer star : 1 . -rrb- for anything other than white rice , this be really a 2-cup rice cooker . 2 . -rrb- it do not make brown rice porridge at all . it make a great white rice porridge and even do well with half white\/half brown . but when I try to make brown rice porridge , all I get be some cook brown rice sit in a puddle of water . great rice cooker ! Worth every penny ! | |
| 2 RiceCooker POS 4 I have use this rice cooker for 2 year now . it be a good product except for the follow fault it do not have a transparent lid and can not see how the rice be cooking -lrb- not that it be a must but be good to have -rrb- starchy rice like Jasmine rice and extra long grain rice produce a whitish frothy residue which be difficult to clean off . it stick to the lid and the rim of the base . I kind of use a toothpick to remove it from the hard to reach area . I give it four star because of the above . | |
| 416 RiceCooker POS 5 I fill the slow cooker pot with water , let it run and then measure the temperature of the water . for slow cooking high , the temp be 205 . for slow cooking low , the temp be 185 . the warm mode temp be 140 . | |
| 739 RiceCooker NEG 1 use it just a few time ... turn to warm without complete cooking ... Dont buy this item ... | |
| 537 RiceCooker POS 4 we have be use a Oster Rice Maker that we receive as a wedding gift 10 year ago . we never really like it but do not want to spend a bunch of money on a nicer one . we finally break down after 10 year and purchase this one after read many , many review . it have many different setting and the keep warm setting work great . we old rice maker have 2 settings-cook or keep warm . on keep warm it always burn the rice-this one do not ! the rice be nice and fluffy hour later on the keep warm setting . this rice maker be very easy to use and cook rice perfectly . we have use it for both white rice and wild rice and it work great . I like the little musical announcement that the rice be do . my husband be very concerned about the size but he seem to like it now . -lrb- he always make way too much rice anyway , so I be glad this one have a reasonable limit . -rrb- we be a family of 4 and it work great for we , however I think that be about the max . if we have another family over for dinner , we probably could not serve rice . it take a very long time to cook so we could not just whip up another batch for we guest . if you have a large family or like to entertain , I would recommend the larger size for sure . that be the only reason I give 4 star . for the price , I would expect a much larger capacity . the size on the counter be nice though and it look pretty cool . I use to hide the rice maker in a closet and pull it out as need , but since this one be so darn cool look , I keep it out . plus it make we look rich since it be so ridiculously expensive !! ; - -rrb- overall , I be satisfy with this purchase , but only because I `` m sure we 'll use it for another 10 year and we eat rice fairly often , so it justify the price . now if I could just find a coffee maker that do not suck , my life would be complete ... | |
| 645 RiceCooker NEG 1 I buy this cooker a while ago from target . I have only have trouble from then . sticky liquid flow all over my counter after cooking leave a mess and bad smell . Cleaning be a mess as well . I could never clean this cooker to my satisfaction . I try Sona Masuri , Jasmine , Basmati etc. and same mess every time . | |
| 908 RiceCooker POS 5 I almost do not buy this because most of the recent review be bad . then I read they and it seem like most of they be bad because of the size . since I just want a rice cooker to make a small amount , not family size , this be perfect for what I need it for . I be so glad I do buy it . it be perfect . I use the cup that come with it to measure my rice and water , and it turn out perfect . as long as you realize that this be not a large rice cooker and be good for just 1 or 2 serving , you will not regret buy this . | |
| 235 RiceCooker NEG 2 do what it be suppose to do for 2 month , then it stop work . I do not think rice cooker be suppose to break so quickly , so I would not buy this one again . | |
| 452 RiceCooker NEG 2 I buy this Rice Cooker with the impression that it be a 3-cup rice cooker but it be NOT . this rice cooker look pretty much like a toy . it be cute and all that but it be no where near a 3 cup rice cooker . it be not even yield 3 cup of rice . it be probably good for college kid living in a dorm . work okay but for some reason , rice always rise more on one side so it look kinda funny . other than that , it be a cute workable toy . | |
| 771 RiceCooker POS 5 I be a neophyte rice maker . the ns-lac05 be essentially foolproof . the instruction manual require careful reading and some interpretation but be quite usable . I have have no problem at all and be very happy with the cooker . one word of caution . the term `` porridge '' do NOT refer to porridge as use in English but be a japanese rice porridge . the `` porridge '' setting be usable but the timing be off for oatmeal . | |
| 344 RiceCooker POS 5 after research rice maker in general and automatic one in particular , I settle on the Zojirushi . I may have be prejudice a bit since I have already own one of they bread maker for several year , I use it at least once a week and I be more than satisfy with it . my experience have lead I to both trust they product and have high expectation for they . that say , I have find the rice cooker to be excellent . it do just what it say it do . I have already make several batch of white rice , brown rice and rice porridge , all do to perfection . it be simple to use and easy to clean and with the retractable power cord it store neatly and easily ; it be handle make it easy to retrieve from the lower shelf where I keep it . the direction for use could be better ; they seem to have be translate by a computer rather than a human . the direction for they bread maker be clear and easily readable , so they be capable of do better for this product . | |
| 422 RiceCooker POS 5 this be we first Rice Cooker so I can not compare it with other product . Easy to use , easy to clean , 2 pot be usefull . only complain - the second pot be lesser quality -lrb- thiner -rrb- , but not like I notice performace difference . | |

| 363 RiceCooker NEG 1 after review so many good review . I decide to give it a try . it cook very slow unless you use quick cooking . if you be use normal cooking , it take 40 minute to cook two cup of rice . the worst be that the non stick be peel off , i see some shinning spot on the bottom of the pot after several month , apparently i already eat some of non stick material . I be very careful of use the non stick rice cooker , always use the spoon they provide . it be bad and cheap teflon . | |
| 810 RiceCooker POS 5 not only do this do great rice easily , but it fill the pre-dinner house with a wonderful rice smell . it be worth the money , definitely . | |
| 144 RiceCooker POS 5 I receive this as a gift last Christmas , cook a lot of rice and asian dice at home . this device can also do bread , risotto , other grain such as quinoa , in addition to act as a slow-cooker . the include recipe book feature some great idea to get you start with contribution from Martin Yan , however another relative recently send I the follow which should keep I busy for a while . the Ultimate Rice Cooker cookbook : 250 No-Fail Recipes for Pilafs , Risottos , Polenta , Chilis , Soups , Porridges , Puddings , and more , from Start to finish in you Rice Cooker -lrb- Non -rrb- | |

I recommend look at this less expensive alternative before purchase other brand . nice cooker !! this be from a guy who hate -lrb- past tense -rrb- to cook because I be goof these dish up . no more ! very please with this . | |
| 365 RiceCooker POS 4 I recently buy this beautiful cooker . Rice be well cook , do not stick to the pot . make scoop and serve easy . only thing that i be not quite comfortable be that after the cooking mode it automatically go to warm mode , which can only be turn off by unplug the cable . | |
| 255 RiceCooker POS 5 I be not good at make rice anymore on the stove . I use to be good at make it in the microwave , but lately I have lose my touch . everyone i know have a big rice cooker and they rice come out perfectly every time . I think I would take a chance and buy one . the review be pretty good overall and the price be reasonable so I take a chance and buy this one . I have use it a number of time and it make perfect rice every time . I try to use it as a steamer with the plastic insert , but I forget that pea fall through the opening , so they turn out boil instead . all the same , it work very well for rice . we do not eat rice every night so maybe that be why I be please with it . Works for my family . | |
| 149 RiceCooker NEG 2 I have purchase two of these cooker . when they work , they be so convenient - perfect for small batch of rice , oatmeal -lrb- do not use milk - it will bubble up and make a mess -rrb- , quinoa , etc. . only problem , they just do not last very long . the first one I have only last for a couple of batch and the second one last a couple of month . I keep buy they because they be the only small rice cooker that I have find on Amazon , and the price be reasonable . as long as Amazon keep take my return , I guess I 'll keep buy this cooker even though it be a bit of a hassle when they stop work . | |
| 578 RiceCooker POS 5 the rice cooker have turn out good cook rice twice . it be easy to clean , store , and use . it be cute . | |
| 820 RiceCooker POS 5 light weigh and compact thus , easy to store . usually I use it to make two or three cup in one shot . Rice taste delicious , nothing stick , and it be as fast as promise . love the additional accessory -lrb- i.e. rice spoon and steamer -rrb- . steamed vegetable come out very soft and the taste be well preserve . I really think the key to successful use of this product , just as with all other electronics be follow the instruction . | |
| 173 RiceCooker POS 5 I buy this rice cooker in order to try a rice cooker . I would hear that if you want to cook rice , this be the way to do it . for the price , I feel I could try it . I will never cook rice in anything but a rice cooker again . in fact , I would love to get one that cook larger portion as the 3-cup be not large enough for my family . have you ever try to cook brown rice ? it be almost impossible , and take at least two hour on the stove in order to get right . with the rice cooker , it be a quarter the time , and come out perfect ! there be still slight difference between brown and white rice once cook , but no longer be I plague with a hard lump of brown rice . in the rice cooker , it come out nice , fluffy , and delicious . Eating healthier be no longer a chore or a discomfort . I have also cook quinoa in the rice cooker . it also come out perfect - fluffy and delicious , with little work from I ! sometimes my husband stay at work longer than intend . dinner will be ready anywhere from a half hour to a hour and a half before he get home . I have not try longer , but even with that long , if you keep the cooker on the warm setting and keep the lid on , it remain just as if it finish cooking . it do not dry out . there be no need to cook more rice for he . | |
| 529 RiceCooker POS 4 I have never own a rice cooker before this , however , I have cook lot of rice over the year . its a inexpensive rice cooker and if you follow the direction , it 'll do fine . since move to the mountain of Colorado , its take I year to adjust to the lower the boiling point due to the higher elevation -lrb- 8300 ' -rrb- ... it take more time -lrb- add ~ 10-20min -rrb- and the dry climate mean use more water -lrb- for a 1 cup of dry rice , take ~ 2.5 + cup water rather than 2cup -rrb- . still , there have be many time when rice just do not work out the way I want . so I mention that it would be nice to have a rice cooker and let it deal with the cook time . of course I have do some research , and when this come in the mail as a present , I be a little nervous since Oster 's seem to get so-so review . well , I cook my typical basmatus rice , a 1\/2 cup dry and add my typical 1c water plus extra , put lid on , press the button and go to do something else . a lot of reviewer mention how the rice on the bottom get over-cooked , sometimes brown or burnt . some reviewer like the crunchiness , some hate it . well , the direction tell you to stir the rice - especially the bottom of the cooker after 15 minute . sure enough , the rice at the bottom be start to stick . I scrape it all loose , add another 1\/4 cup water , chop it up a little , put the lid on , and let fate take its course . would the rice by a burnt mess ? 20 minute later we have the best sticky rice we have ever have ! plus it seem to cook faster . and I really like that it go to ` warm ' mode automatically . one major drawback : it spew hot sticky water up under the lid and through the vent all over the kitchen but once we wipe the lid off -lrb- without pick up the lid -rrb- , it settle down . if you be a neat freak or want a set-and-forgot , this rice cooker be not for you . and for I , I 'll come up with a little steam catcher helmet and deal with the mess . for the price , its a good buy . and , I love the red color too ! -lrb- find this cool tip from Spyce : to help keep the starch from bubble up and spray out of the vent hole , rinse the rice thoroughly and drain . heat a small amount of olive oil in the rice bowl , once the oil be heat , carefully add the rice and saute it for 3 to 4 minute . add the water and continue cooking . -rrb- I be go to try this tip next time ! BTW , this cooker seem like a knock-off of the similar rival rice cooker -lrb- both own by Jarden -rrb- | |
