The Bottom Line: This is a good, large, simple rice cooker.

Review: My electric stove made rice cooking a nightmare, so I researched rice cookers on epinions and ended up with this one.

It is large (up to 10 cups of rice, which makes 30 finished cups, I guess). It is simple - one button. It is free of ugly...

Pros: Perfect rice EVERY TIME!

Cons: If you don't do it right, it can be messy

The Bottom Line: The best rice you'll ever get!

We bought our rice cooker online. as it tuned out later...

Cons: Watch out for the high pressure steam that shoots from the 'steam hole' (ouch!)

Cons: Design of vent hole leaves a mess

The Bottom Line: Great rice, but having to think about the mess is annoying.
