The appliance smelled like a burning circuit board the first time I plugged it in and used it. One star off for that. Fortunately, the weird smell wasn't present when I used the cooker again.
Perfect for two portions of steamed or fried rice, quinoa or hot breakfast cereal. The tiny size doesn't take up a lot of kitchen real estate and is easy to store away -- it's not much bigger than a roll of toilet paper. It's extremely easy to clean, so I've used it a lot in the past few days since it arrived.
For brown basmati rice, I experimented to get the right texture, settling on 1 measuring scoop of rice to 2.25 scoops of water. The plastic measuring scoop comes with the cooker. The instructions say to use the supplied scoop and not a standard measuring cup.
