Amazon.com Review: With a 3-cup capacity for dry rice (white or brown), this 300-watt electric rice cooker automatically produces up to 6 cups of cooked rice without sticking or scorching. Accompanying the cooker is a separate tray for steaming seafood and vegetables, a measuring cup for rice, and a plastic serving spatula. The cooker's glass lid permits monitoring of the cooking process, and the handles stay cool so you can easily move the cooker to the table for serving. The cooker is 8 inches high to the lid's knob and 9-1/2 inches in diameter, including handles. --Fred Brack

Rating: - GREAT PRODUCT FOR THE PRICE!!
If you're using pre-cooked rice (and most of it is these days) use only 1 cup of rice to 1-1/4 cup of water or it will stick, get gummy, burn on the bottom etc as other reviews state. Also I recommend you only cook two cups dry rice per cycle to avoid the boil over that other's complain about here on amazon. And if you keep taking the cover off to stir as some others write about here on amazon, you'll ruin the rice. You need the steam to fluff the rice properly. If you remove the lid to stir you let steam/water go out each time thus changing the ratio you first measured. Unless you have managed ... Read More
Rating: - Poor design. North worth even a 10 dollars

No more sticking! The criticism that it boils over? ONCE that happened to me, & that was when I tried to cook Trader Joe's Harvest Blend multi-grains & pasta in it. This cooker does ... Read More
Rating: - Harder to cook rice in this than in a pot.
I was hoping for an easy way to cook rice. It certainly doesn't work well for that. I tried several times in this and have given up. Will go back to a put for now.
Rating: - Cheap, effective, makes good rice
For the price, it does what it does admirably. A one-trick pony, it makes rice. It makes rice well. What else could I ask for? Simple, effective. Worth the price for sure.
