While this Rice Cooker has had some really good reviews there are several things you should keep in mind before deciding if it is right for you. I have broken down these in the lists below

Pros:

• Very spacious. It can store up to 10-cup uncooked rice and 18-20 cups cooked
• It can cook white, brown, and even sushi rice.
• The Timer helps when planning ahead
• Even when the rice cooker it was unplugged it was able to keep the rice warm.
• Quality of rice is above average quality

Cons:

• Making for a few people only take 2-3 cups of rice so it barely fills up the rice cooker
• It can be too big for a small kitchen or apartment.
• Timer doesn’t allow you to set exact time to start. This means you have to estimate the number of hours before it begins cooking. This is not a big deal but just something you need to keep in mind as if you put down the wrong setting you may be coming home to cold or uncooked rice.
