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.

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.

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.

Con
Not big enough to cook for multiple people
The small size means it won’t be able to cook enough food at once for multiple people. It can hold up to 6 cups of cooked rice, which is reasonable, given its compact size. Such amount is best for 1 or 2 people

Pro
Very cheap
This rice cooker is very cheap. Because of its price, it really cannot have many additional features. Still, it has a great value because of its quality cooking.

Con
Water sometimes overflows
When cooking rice within the indicated margins, the water can still overflow and be a bother when it comes to cleaning. This simply shouldn’t happen with these kinds of appliances.

Pro
Won’t allow food the get cold

Con
Doesn’t offer a choice between cooking settings
The only choices are “cooking mode” and a “keep warm mode”. Because of this, you have to solely rely on the only cooking setting it provides.

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.

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

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.

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.
