Good feature and functionality ratio
This is a great rice cooker with a decent set of features - all with a price of less than $50. The pre-cook timer, the “keep-warm” mode, and the inclusion of steaming are great additional features that bump up the value of the cooker.

Con
Annoying beeping sound
Once the cooking ends, the cooker announces it with a loud, high pitched beeping which can be really annoying. The sound cannot be disabled or made quieter.

Pro
Can make food in advance
The pre-cooking timer can be set for up to 15 hours. It means you can put all the ingredients into the cooker, set the timer, go to work, and have a warm, delicious dinner waiting for you when you return home.

Con
Foods cannot be slow cooked
Slow cooking is when a dish is best made over a longer period of time with a lower temperature setting. Sadly, the predefined options do not include this feature.

Cooks rice for the perfect amount of time
The rice is always cooked for the right amount of time. It is not neither undercooked nor burnt and tastes simply delicious.

Top
Con
Small steam basket
The steam basket, where you place all the food that you want to steam-cook, is rather small and shallow. The size is enough for only 1 portion or maybe 2 smaller portions.

Top
Pro
Small to moderate sized
The cooker’s capacity can hold up to 4 cups of uncooked rice, which, in turn, turns into approximately 8 cups of rice. This is a medium amount and can be sufficient for up to 3 people.

Can prepare food for multiple people
The rice cooker is pretty large, especially for its price. It can hold up to 10 cups of uncooked rice which will become 20 cups of cooked rice. This amount is large enough for around seven people.

Con
Best used with only white rice
Brown and long-grain rice are not as finely cooked as regular white rice. This is expected since the predefined settings do not include different types of rice other than white rice.
See More
Top
Pro
Can cook a lot of different foods
On top of cooking various types of rice, it can also cook pasta, whole grains, beans and even use the steaming option for vegetables, meat or fish. A lot can be done with just this one appliance.

Con
Foods cannot be "fine-tuned"
The cooking settings are predefined and cannot be changed, thus making it impossible to fine tune any food with very specific temperatures and cooking times.
See More
Top
Pro
Meals can be prepared in advance
The timer can be set for up to 15 hours, meaning, it will wait for up to 15 hours before starting the cooking process. This way you can plan your dinner in the morning, set the timer, leave, and have a meal ready just when you arrive home.

Con
Short power cord
The power cord is just around 28 inches long. It can really limit the places where you could keep it.
See More
Top
Pro
Automatically keeps food warm
When it is done cooking, it will automatically shift into “Keep warm mode” to keep your food warm until you want to actually eat it. Be advised that rice shouldn’t be kept in this mode for longer than ~10 hours, as it can get really dry.

Interface is easily understood and used

Con
Water tends to overflow with the glass lid
The water can overflow during cooking if the glass lid is on, making cleaning more cumbersome than necessary. To prevent this, use the steaming pot instead of the glass lid to seal the cooker.

Pro
Neat design
The square design is a unique one. The build is made from stainless steel which adds to the look and the square design, its small size, and a retractable power cord makes it easier to store.

Con
Doesn’t always cook perfectly
You can follow the instructions on what ratios to use and still have unsatisfactory cooked rice. It is best to experiment yourself with the water and rice ratios to achieve the best results.

Pro
Keeps the meal warm after it is done cooking
After it detects that the food is done, it automatically switches to the “keep warm” mode. The cooker will keep the food warm until you actually want to eat it. But look out not to leave rice for too long in this mode, as it will dry out.
See More
Top
Con
Cannot be turned off
You have to plug the power cord in order to switch it on or off. After it is done cooking, it will stay on the “keep warm” mode indefinitely, potentially ruining the food and expending energy if left on for far too long.

Pro
Can also steam food while cooking
The optional steaming pot allows cooking such foods like fish, meat, or vegetables during the time when the rice is cooking. It saves energy and time.
