This rice cooker just like its product description can cook 10+ cups of rice. It is easy and convenient: pressing the button, waiting for 20 minutes and then getting the cooked rice. It does not have other fancy functions rather than cooking rice, but it is enough for me.

It's solid product, easy to use and clean. other than that, I don't know what to expect from this product

This item is suitable for large batches of rice as well as small. I did a cup of rice and had no issues, even though the manual starts its measures at 2 cups. The only thing that was contrary to the guide was that the wild rice cooked alot faster (about 30 minutes) than stated. Then it sat on warm which caused it to burn on the bottom a bit as I hadnt realized it was done already. So you just have to make sure it doesnt sit on warm too long (after the rice is done cooking the unit auto switches to 'warm'). I noted first time using it that the metal inner pot doesnt sit snugly and I fiddled with it for quite awhile before I realized that it IS loose fitting until you put rice and water in. I havent tried steaming anything yet. overall, the unit looks nice and cleans up easy.

I bought this rice cooker about one month ago. I use it every day and it works very well. The capacity is large enough for six to eight people. My experience of using it is to put the rice in water for at least 40 minutes before cooking. The only con I can see is the short wire.
