No frills, easy and quick cooker, not just for rice
Basic rice cooker which works perfectly, it's an excellent size for 2 people, cooking a small portion for one meal and handles more for leftovers for another day. It can do other things too, not just rice. No frills, cheap and cheerful in bright yellow

Wow! So much better than I expected!
I decided to buy a ācheap & cheerfulā rice cooker to a) see if iād actually use it and b) if they are any good, before splashing out on an expensive brand.Iāll probably stick with this one!Itās compact, attractive and far better quality than I expected.I cooked WAY too much rice the first time, filling the measuring pot for three people. I know better now.Itās very easy to use. Some like a 1:1 equal measure of rice to water - Macook recommends 1:1.2. Iād say try it and see, it depends on the rice.We are using Japanese short grain rice & Thai sticky rice and have done both ratios. I think the 1:1.2 was better in some ways as the rice wasnāt stuck together too much.It has a good capacity, a full pot (first use, too much) was more than 6 portions - for us anyhow.Wash out the pot. Rinse you rice til it runs clear. Put your measured amount into the pot followed by the water and switch on. It really is that easy. It will automatically switch from ācookā mode to āwarmā mode and keep the rice at a good temperature.We steamed asparagus in the rack on top whilst cooking the rice and it was perfect.Itās a great rice cooker and looks very robust, durable. I expect to see a lit of use from this.

There's a reason this type of rice cooker is so popular
This is a great, low cost, no frills rice cooker, no settings to worry about, no electronics to go wrong (it's all done with magnets!). I cook rice in it a couple of times a week, my wife cooks quinoa in it about as often, I'll occasionally make porridge with it and every two or three weeks I'll do a delicious chorizo and prawn jambalaya in it. It handles everything perfectly, the rice is well cooked and fluffy and the non-stick surface is good quality making washing up an absolute breeze.It's the perfect size for one or two, able to cook little enough or more than enough for two or more if you have guests or want extra rice (for example to make a stir fry next day.There's two things that would make this even better, in my opinion, one is a few sample recipes for people starting out with it, and the second is a steamer basket, I've bought one separately but it wasn't quite the right size so I've had to 3D print an adaptor ring.(If anyone's interested, I make my jambalaya by heating up a little chorizo sausage in a small frying pan until it gives off it's oil, then frying off onions peppers and garlic in the oil toasting some Cajun seasoning and then adding a tablespoon of tomato puree and mixing. This is then transferred to the rice cooker with washed long grain rice and some frozen peas or sweetcorn, I use cooled chicken stock instead of water (1 1/2 times the rice by volume) and a pinch of salt. Mix well then cook as normal - ie press the button and wait! - once it's finished cooking stir in the prawns and leave it on warm for 10 minutes. Make sure everything, especially the prawns, is cooked through before eating and follow this recipe at your own risk, it's how I cook it but I take no responsibility for anyone else's results following it!)

Uni essential
Very convenient for university students. Bought this halfway through my second year (around four months ago) and can safely say that it has become a staple for me. I cook rice around 4/5 days a week with it, and it always comes out perfect. I do 1 cup rice to 1.75 cups water and just leave it to cook for around half an hour. I havenāt tried using the steam basket, but I have cooked broccoli, cauliflower, and potatoes straight in with the rice (take out after 10-15 minutes) and it comes out very well. With the amount I make, it comes out to two or three meals depending on what Iām eating, but thereās enough room in the cooker for double that. The only issue Iāve had it that the outer casing has become slightly dented? I imagine from heat/pressure, but it does not affect the cooking ability of the appliance, so I havenāt raised the issue.

Excellent little cooker
Didnt have high hopes for this little cooker as there was no instructions and itās very basic, I canāt cook rice so I had to try something and this little cooker is just the best!!! 1 cup of rice to 2 cups of water, 25 minutes later it gave me perfectly cooked fluffy rice š1 cup of rice (once cooked, can see in picture) almost filled the pot so I wouldnāt chance putting anymore in, 1 cup can feed 2-3 people easily. Very happy with my purchase and itās a lovely yellow colour and looks good too. Highly recommend this if you struggle to cook rice like me. Itās also a mini slow cooker which I will also try out next

Rice cooker is very nice we bought it for my daughter hostel and cooked three cups , we used the cup given with the cooker . The rice came very nice we used basmati rice ( 1 cup rice 1.5 water).The rice came nice , I would say the price is a bit more otherwise it is worth itš. The colour was also very nice .š

Perfect. Some advise in comment.
Great rice cooker. Just had Chinese chick, rice and broccoli. By the time I had cooked the chicken, the rice was done. Perfectly fluffy. Seen other reviews and want to advise to wash the rice until water clear as will help stop liquid bubbling over and make sure the outside of the pot is dry of all liquid before placing in the cooker.

Completely broken after first use, unfortunately.
I've never left a one-star review before but unfortunately, I must on this occasion.The rice cooker worked fine on the first use and then simply would not work again - I checked the plug / fuse etc and no-joy. It just won't work anymore, no matter what....the one time it worked however, the rice wasn't bad lol.
