I love the easy settings this cooker has. The brown rice setting takes the hassle out of temperamental brown and wild rices. Be advised that the "keep warm" feature will end up browning your rice if left on for too long. A great product at a fantastic price.

DONT ORDER FROM EKLECTIC SHOP - biabia - los angeles
I've never had a bad experience from amazon.com until now. My rice cooker arrived 4 weeks after the rest of my order and the box was totally crushed and badly damaged. I contacted the seller and was told that I couldn't return it after 30 days of ordering. It took 6 weeks to receive it. I'm bothered that they didn't even try to make it right. Don't order from EKLECTIC SHOP.

Not a great experience! - J. Dunn - Colorado
This is my first rice cooker so I tried several attempts to get good rice out of it. I did maybe twice. I experimented a few times adding more water but most of the time I got dry, crusty rice on the bottom. I figured out that I had to stop it before it was done otherwise it would burn. That's when I followed directions exactly. I thought it was me because I have issues making rice in a regular pot too. But I really think this rice cooker cooks too hot. So we are taking it back. I also got it at Costco.

Sunpentown SC-10 22-Pound Rice Dispenser

Sunpentown SC-10 22-Pound Rice Dispenser Review

See more picture

I bought this rice dispenser because I go through a lot of rice...obviously. About a 20 lb. bag a month on average. Which, if you're Asian, is enough to feed one person. My mother has something similar in her household, but it holds 50 lbs. br /br /So if you're a family of semi-casual rice eaters or a regular rice eater in a household of one, this might be the perfect sized dispenser for you to ensure you have an easy way of dispensing rice without letting it sit so long it becomes stale. br /br /The plastic box is fairly sturdy and is of a slim enough design that I've been able to tuck it away in a small corner. While the openings aren't triple sealed...it's been enough to deter household critters since I haven't noticed anything unsavory in my rice in the year that I've owned this dispenser. The top is easy to load, the see through window lets you know when it's time to refill, and the 22 lbs capacity allows you to refill with a 20 lb. bag (which most rice can be found in) without totally running out. br /br /The dispenser dispenses a perfect cup, but it's perfect by rice cooker standards. I've found that a push of this dispenser releases just enough rice to fill a "standard" rice cup found in most Asian rice cookers...which just happen to be smaller than the typical American one cup serving size. Great for me since I have a Zojurishi rice cooker and don't feel like fiddling with the measuring cup that came with the cooker, but maybe not great for those who are expecting your typical amount.

Sunpentown SC-10 22-Pound Rice Dispenser Feature

Great Size For Small Family - W. Kang - Englewood Cliffs, NJ United States
I go through a 50 lb bag of rice about once every six months. Even though that's a decent amount of rice, I wasn't sure if a rice dispenser would be all that useful for me.br /br /However, I've loved this product from day one. No spilled grains from scooping from an open bag. No struggling to get grains from an almost empty bag. Looks a lot better than an open bag.br /br /I do need to put away the half bag after the first fill though, so I stick the half-empty bag in a closet. You might want to stick with the 20 lb bags of rice if you don't want to do that, but I like the extra savings you get with the 50 lb bags.br /br /I also got a coupon for leaving feedback so the final price could actually be really cheap.br /br /btw, when they say "1 cup" they mean the small cup. The amount dispensed is actually 2/3 of a cup. I have no problems with that though since I've made enough rice in my life that I just eye the water levels.

After going through a few different brands/models over the past 6-7 years, we just decided to go "low tech." We didn't need or want digital timers and any other bells whistles. We eat a LOT of vegetables and rice, and we just wanted something that's simple, works well, and RELIABLE. 1+ year after purchase this unit is still working great. If we get at least another year then we will feel like we've gotten our money's worth.

Double-tiered 6.1-quart total capacity holds a variety of foods.

Aroma ARC720G 10-cup Rice Cooker with Glass Lid Review

See more picture

After reading all the negative reviews this rice cooker received, I felt the need to stand up and battle back! This rice cooker is simple to use and the clean-up is a breeze. Simply measure out the amount of rice you want to use and rinse it thoroughly prior to placing it in the pan. Add 1 1/2 cups of water for EVERY cup of rice you measured out. Place the lid on top, plug it in and push the "cook" button. Done! Shortly afterwards the alarm will go off and your rice is cooked. I suggest stirring it immediately, covering it and leaving it stand for an extra 5-10 minutes. br /br /I just cannot relate to all these complaints about "burnt rice" and having to scrape it from the sides! For the price it's simply a no-brainer! The 10-cup feature is a bonus too! I love making rice for big groups and I always offer to bring some type of rice dish to any potluck!!!br /br /There are plenty of choices for other rice cookers on this website and in the stores but I just don't see the need to spend more $$$ when this rice cooker does the job!

Aroma ARC720G 10-cup Rice Cooker with Glass Lid Feature

Cooks rice and keeps it warm for hours
Use also to steam seafood and vegetables and cook custards and eggs
Can also be used to stir-fry meals in oil
Measuring cup for rice and water, spatula, and steam rack included
9 inches high to lid knob; 13 inches in diameter, including handles

Busy cooks cherish rice cookers. This model cooks up to 10 cups of dry rice and keeps it warm. A rack fits in the rice-cooking pan for steaming seafood and vegetables, cooking hard- or soft-boiled eggs, and cooking custards in their own containers. By heating oil in the pan and then pressing the "cook" switch again when ingredients are added, the manufacturer says stir-frying foods is possible. A glass lid permits monitoring of the cooking process. Instructions and a cooking chart explain everything clearly. A measuring cup and serving spatula are included. The cooker operates with admirable simplicity--just push a switch to start. When cooking is completed, the unit automatically goes into its keep-warm mode. Stay-cool handles on the cooker/steamer's sides permit it to be moved. Only plastic scrubbers and mild detergent should be used for cleaning.

Best Value, get what you pay for. - John F. Kerry - hinsdale, IL United States
I owned this Rice Cooker for about 6 months. After some helpful tips I finally found out how to make perfect rice with this thing.br1) throughly clean your rice before putting it in the Rice Cooker.br2) Let the 1.25 cups of water for every 1 cup of rice.br3) Let the rice soak for 20 minutes before you power on the thing.pAll in all, for $... this is a good deal, but this cooker doesn't last. Give it 1 year and it will die on you. My advice is to go for a more expensive model if you want something to last. If you want to experiment with a rice cooker then snag this one. better yet, get the 3 cup version for $...

Its very nice product, rice cooked is non sticky. Easy to clean. I bought two of these, one for us, one gifted to relatives. Its worth for the money you spend.

Zojirushi NHS-18 10-Cup Rice Cooker/Steamer Warmer Feature

Cooks rice and keeps it warm up to five hours
Use also to steam seafood and vegetables and to cook custards and eggs
Measuring cup and serving spatula included
Uses 600 watts of power
9-1/4 inches high to lid knob; 13 inches in diameter, including handles

Busy cooks cherish rice cookers. This is Zojirrushi's largest, suitable for cooking up to 10 cups of dry rice (white or brown) and keeping it warm up to five hours. A separate tray steams seafood and vegetables, cooks hard- or soft-boiled eggs, and even makes tender custards. Instructions and a cooking chart explain everything. A measuring cup and serving spatula are included. A glass lid permits monitoring of the cooking process. The cooker/steamer operates with admirable simplicity: just push a switch to start. The switch and a light turn off when cooking is completed, and the unit automatically goes into its keep-warm mode. Stay-cool handles on the cooker/steamer's sides permit it to be moved. Only plastic scrubbers and mild detergent should be used for cleaning. I--Fred Brack/I Plump moist grains of rice and brilliantly colored flavorful vegetables are yours with this steamer. Steaming not only preserves nutrients, flavors, and colors marvelously well, it also allows you to cook without adding oil or fat. Once your food is cooked it will stay warm until you're ready to serve, eliminating those timing headaches. And last but surely not least, the cooking pan is removable and non-stick, ensuring your precious time isn't spent cleaning up.

Aroma ARC-733G 3-Cup Pot-Style Rice Cooker and Food Steamer

Aroma ARC-733G 3-Cup Pot-Style Rice Cooker and Food Steamer Review

See more picture

I bought this rice cooker about a year ago, and waited to write my review as many people said that they had issues with their rice cooker crapping out after a short time. We use this a couple of times a week and so far, no mechanical problems that I can tell. Overall, we're pretty pleased with it and it's a good deal for how inexpensive it is. It doesn't have a lot of bells and whistles, but hey, it cooks rice so that's what counts, right?br /br /General comments about it:br /br /1. Perfect rice, every time - provided you use the measuring cup that is included. If you measure out the cups of rice/water with a regular measuring cup, for some reason the water doesn't completely get absorbed and you have gummy wet rice.br /br /2. Rice WILL stick to the bottom of the pot. I use a little spray oil to coat the bottom before I put the rice in, which helps with clean-up. However, I still usually have to soak it for a bit. It cleans up well after that.br /br /3. No automatic off - you have to unplug the unit to turn it off. While I am in the habit of unplugging it as soon as it's done (also, to minimize rice build-up on the bottom), it's something to be aware of.br /br /4. The click to indicate that it is done cooking is pretty loud, but if you wander more than about 30 feet away you won't hear it.br /br /5. Small - fits through a ridiculously narrow cabinet door I have. br /br /6. It cooks pretty quickly, not more than 10 minutes even with the max amount of rice/water.
