    We got this little guy on DotD for like $10. It gets the job done just fine, and it's nice to be able to "set and forget", but it still does take a while so make sure to get the rice going at the start of your prep work. I do not have much experience with rice cookers, though, so maybe that is normal. the 2.25 cup size is fine for 2 people but if you are consistently feeding 3+ people I would get a bigger size since they are not THAT much more expensive.

    My last rice cooker was too big and I wound up throwing away half the rice I made. It was also too hard to clean. This one is the right size. Easy to clean and does not take up much storage space. You can also use it like a crock pot. Come with a great recipe book.

    This product is easy to use and makes great rice. It is the perfect size for our needs. A tiny bit of the coating did scratch off after a few uses but nothing more to this point. Dropping rating by a point for this reason. Still happy with the purchase.

    So far I have been using this for a few months and it works great. I don't follow the directed amount of water and rice to use when making rice but despite that it works well. It may just be that I like my rice a certain way.

    We bought this to fit in our very minimalist environment. It is perfect and works well for more than rice cooking. Easy to clean and easy to store. * We love it!! *

    I like the compact size. It says that it does 2 servings worth, but I think it's a little more than that. The cook time seems a little slow, but as long as you don't over stuff it, the drive comes out pretty good for a rice cooker under $20.

    The rice is cooked perfect and you don't need to watch it cook. I tried it on both white and brown rice and it was perfect each time. A tiny thing, so it doesn't take much counter space.

    I can't believe how fast and delicious is the rice, it takes about 40 minutes to finish, but it worth the wait.

    At first, I don't have high expectation with this little buddy. But after over a month use with various tries on both white rice and brown rice, I do like it with good results. Now, I just hope it will stay that way for at least a year!

    It is just the right size for a single individual. Cooks just enough for two or three servings depending on how much you use.
