Compact size, simple to use, cheap, yet delivers reliably good rice.
This delivered brilliant perfectly cooked Sushi rice on my first go at using it. I followed the instructions to the letter, making sure to wash the rice well and then added the exact amount of water specified.
I used the white rice program and the results were outstanding. Of course results may vary if you use a different type of rice - mine was Japanese grown large fat sushi type grains - so I can't guarantee your Basmati or whatever will work exactly the same - however judging by my results it works pretty well. I've also used brown rice.
One point worth noting is that you should definitely NOT add any salt as this will completely mess up the water absorption and cooking, which depends on having the correct osmotic pressure. If you want your rice seasoned, then please add it afterwards or your results WILL be poor. Based on my experience as a cook, I suspect that at least some of those who have reviewed this machine as poor may have been adding salt to the cooking water - which even when cooking rice in a pan is not really ideal.
The machine is very compact but will easily produce enough rice for up to 6 serving. So far it seems very reliable, and at the price a real bargain.Read full review

Perfect rice cooker
I’ve been using this for about a week now and I couldn’t be more impressed! I was eyeing up this rice cooker on Amazon, but it costs £65 brand new, and I couldn’t afford to spend that much. I felt like I won the lottery when I found this refurbished version on here! It looks and functions like new; perfect rice every time; very user friendly and easy to operate. Highly recommend, in fact I’ve already sent a link to this to two of my friends. Just as an added bonus, it arrived before its ETA as well. Read full review

Research what you will use it for
The instruction book lacks clarity: from my perspective this is just for 1-2 people rice & basic slow cooker - it looks good, but will it actually earn its keep?

Small but beautiful
This product was only 1.4lt and not 1.8lt as stated 1st, so therefore it was not large enough for two people. Ireturned the item unused
