Rating: - This is an awesome addition to the kitchen!
I received this rice cooker as a wedding gift from our wedding registry and we are extremely happy! I love the fact that you can do all of your cooking in the pot, no additional pots and pans to clean up. I did purchased the Ultimate Rice Cooker book once I received the gift because I was a little unsure on how to use it. Although it may contain recipes with ingredients I don't always keep in our pantry, it really helped me utilize my cooker. You can experiment with just about anything in it. I haven't found many restrictions. My only complaint would be the odor retention. I hand wash both of the ... Read More

I love this rice cooker for the way it looks and for the way it's User Interface is designed too! I used to hate my older rice cookers because it used to splash a lot of water while cooking and I cleaning all that starch water on the countertop was always irritating. This cooker doesn't splash even a drop!
I also liked the way it has this retractable chord in it making the countertop look less messier

I bought this rice cooker thinking that I would take a step up in quality. It looks nice, it has a thick titanium coated, nonstick bowl, a carry handle, and a retractable cord. These are all nice features. However, how do you explain to your friends that you bought a $100 rice cooker that only makes good rice if you have mastered the art of figuring out how much water to add, and that takes twice as long to cook, 40 min! It took me over a year but I finally gave it up and went and got a cheap cooker that makes the rice great every time in half the amount of time.

My model is a ECJ-T10EKJ made for the Japanese market, but very comparable to the functions of the ECJ-D55S.
When reading reviews that go on and on, I smell SPAM. No one is paying me to say that this is a great rice cooker and that buying a cheaper cooker, like the Aroma, only will end in tears.
The keep warm function is the best feature; the rice stays moist, followed by a lid that won't slam close, and finally the programmable cooking feature; it keeps me from forgetting to turn on the rice cooker for supper.
Note:Brown rice is best if you let it soak for ... Read More

We purchased the Sanyo rice cooker when it first came out because of the titanium rice pot. Having used it frequently we eventually wore it out, so to speak, therefore the need to purchase the newest model.
Very happy with it. Have used it several times now and the rice does come out great each time.
