For a long time, my family has used those cheap $15 rice cookers. After our last one kicked the bucket, I decided to splurge a little for one of the higher end models and ended up choosing this one. What a difference. It's genuinely magic. Each grain of rice is perfectly cooked and fluffy. White or brown, doesn't matter still perfect every time. Plus it can keep it warm for HOURS. No scorching or dry rice or anything. Just as fluffy and warm as when it was first cooked. This little guy is a beast. You won't regret it.
There is a tendency for moisture to accumulate under the lid. Thankfully there is a space between where the lid opens and the rice bowl so when you open it the water doesn't pour into your rice. You will need a rag or something to wipe it up. I think this is something that's common to most rice cookers though.
This makes enough rice for 3-4 people pretty easily. Usually we make 2 scoops a day, since some us don't eat large portions. Gives us enough for 1-2 meals each but sometimes we end up making 3 scoops. This does take a little bit longer to cook the rice than those cheap rice cookers. I think our old cheap one used to be about 30 mins. This one takes 45 mins to 1 hour for white rice. 1 hour 20 minutes for brown.
