Small but easy
I can cook most stuff but rice always defeated me, tried all methods to get it fluffy .... so got this 0.8Ltr cooker & job done. Two cups of rice for two hungry blokes, swirl & wash rice 3 times, add water to the correct pot level, switch on. Chuck the frozen curries in the micro. 15mins later, curries ready, rice cooked, eat.
Max capacity 4 cups. Had a first attempt at cooking sort of Jamaican Rice & Peas, not bad, it filled this cooker and fed 3 hungry guys.
Wise advice is don't leave cooked rice in the pot after cooking on its auto WARM setting, it will dry it all out. I guess if you wanted to come home to hot cooked rice, use a socket timer, add a bit extra water & get it to kill power after 20 mins. Or just manually switch the puppy on and nosh nice rice after it goes click, WARM.
Next, going to try cooking Pasta or other stuff ... recipes are all online.
I've now ordered this little cookers bigger sister, 1.8Ltr because I need to feed two Pub Quiz teams at times. This one has been good practice, I'll pass it on to my lovely daughter.

Good, given a good battery
1 of 1 found this helpful Manufacture date is 2012 so no wonder the fitted CR2032 battery was near dead. Unfortunately so was the spare battery supplied You get BAT BAT errors followed by fixed --- .
Stuck a new CR2032 in, works fine. Peak flow seems about right for me, will take it along to my next COPD review, see if it agrees with their gear.
It makes nice beep noises for ready (GO) and shutdown, handy if your eyes are dim.
Easy small enough to carry in a coat pocket, about the size of 10 fags (see COPD).

Not LED
1 of 2 found this helpful Certainly is big & solid, doubt anyone could tip it over. Shape reminds me of a triffid.
I read a review, some buyer said this is now an LED lamp, it isn't or this one isn't. It's CFL.
Agree with another review, the light switch could have been on the base, not under the lamp.
Once the bulb greys out or fails I'll look to back engineer it for an LED plate instead of CFL.
There are LED bulbs in this lamp base format but still a bit pricey.
