I just got this cooker today, so durability is not something I can rate yet.br /br /These are the things I like;br /br /1. No plastic. This was important for me. Both the bottom rice cooker and the steamer tray are metal. The lid is glass.br /br /2. Nice and compact. I cook for my wife and myself, so I don't something huge, and of course storage space is always limited. The steamer tray is small; on the other hand, the manual claims that this can cook up to 5 cups of rice.br /br /3. Easy cleanup. Yes some of the rice made a gooey mess in the bottom, but a little soaking took it all right out.br /br /4. Inexpensive.br /br /5. Multi-purpose. I have used it once so far, and here's what I did. I put some brown rice in the bottom rice cooker, and some salmon, broccoli and cauliflower in the steamer tray. The manual says nothing about steaming anything other than veggies, but I thought I'd try it. The result: Excellent. The salmon was cooked to perfection, and so were the vegetables. So I had a complete, tasty, and healthy meal, all in one cooker, and so long as I was prepared to let the bowl and the tray soak for a bit, cleanup was a breeze. Oh and you can make soups, stews, etc. instead of cooking rice. It's not a large-capacity cooker but it would make plenty of stew for two people.br /br /Things I don't like:br /br /1. No timer. It apparently senses when the steam is gone, and then switches to "warmer" mode automatically. The only control is a switch that goes from "cook" to "warmer." This also means that you have to unplug it to turn it off, though that doesn't bother me.br /br /That's about the only thing I have to carp about so far. It didn't bubble or spit at all.br /br /If I can get at least three or four years of regular (and by regular I mean nearly daily) use out of this thing, I'll consider it an extremely good value.

Putting this in the TRASH! - Heather Bucell - Brighton, MA United States
I asked for a rice cooker over the holidays.br /Received this Oster and was happy to have one :Dbr /Every time I cook rice in it, even when stirring it after the fifteen minutesbr /rice is browned and stuck to the bottom. Rice about it is slightly edible; br /definitely more "al dente" than I'd prefer. br /Right now I am using it for the fourth time and smell a heavy burning electrical odor. br /I will go back to using a small covered 1 1/2 quart nonstick sauce pan!
