I really like the steamer aspect of this rice cooker. I’ve been making a lot of great, easy cleanup, one pot meals with this.
The only down side is it runs a little too hot and burns the rice at the bottom. This is my first time to experience this outcome with any rice cooker. For context, I lived in Asia for 10 years. Never met a rice cooker that does that.

My only regret is that I didn’t know of this product sooner.
Pros:
It’s difficult to eat healthy while making time for work, leisure and rest. Eating out a few nights a week gets expensive very fast. This little, red angel will put those worries behind. I was hesitant on purchasing this product. As the old saying goes, “you get what you pay for.” This rice cooker will possibly save you hundreds of dollars through out the year with quick, healthy, inexpensive dinners you can make. If you’re single, this is the answer to all of your cooking woes.
Size – The cooker has a small footprint that you can set on any counter top, or table. You can leave it there without worry of taking up too much space, or burning what’s underneath. For it’s size it can make an amazingly large amount of food for one person.
Cooking – The food is cooked quickly with little effort. Due to only water being used, the lean meats and vegetables are cooked with no worries of needing to add oils or cooking grease. With the cup the cooker comes with, one cup of brown rice serves me two meals. My meals consist of rice mixed in with vegetables such as squash to give it flavor, and 3-4 chicken thighs that I place on the cooking pan. I prefer to mix in the rice with the vegetables so I can have more space to cook more meat. The meat is steam cooked, so it’s healthy and when you mix it in with the rice and squash it gives it a bit of flavor without needing spices. Both the rice and meat are cooked simultaneously with no issues. Everything is done in over an hour, and I stir it once or twice.
Hardware and maintenance – The steamer itself is sturdy, and cools down quickly. With one button to push makes it feel like I’m cheating when it’s cooking. No food or water should spill on it, so keeping it clean is an after thought. Cleaning the cooking pot, pan, lid and spoon takes about five minutes with soap and water. No need to put it in a dish washer since it’s almost trivial to clean. Again, because I don’t use oils to cook it’s incredibly simple to maintain. The build quality is sturdy and thick.
Cons:
The only two cons I’ve found are so trivial that they’re barely worth mentioning due to the price and performance this little beast puts out. The aluminum pan that cooks the meat has flimsy handles (this is a common problem with a lot of cook ware). You can feel the screws used were too short and will sooner or later break from the pan. Nothing that two screws and a small handle from an old pot won’t fix. The power cord is quite short (about a foot long) and you will need an outlet that’s nearby if you prefer a clean station without extension cords. Again, for the price and performance these two cons are barely worth mentioning and I think the product deserves the 5 stars.
Note: The aluminum pan is very thin. Be careful if you use any acid based flavoring such as lemon juice. It will eat through the pan, but it’s acidic, so you can’t put blame on the pan.
Summary: I’m extremely happy with this product, and the fact that it’s under $20 makes it feel like I made out like a bandit. Easy to make, healthy food for single workaholics and college kids. Enjoy!

It does the job just as advertised. I thought a rice cooker the silliest appliance ever but after years of dry or too wet rice I thought I’d give it a try. It works. It really works. I’m amazed and so glad I chose to buy this product. It’s just right for two people. Love the steamer on top. Also it’s so simple. I have to say there r things I can still learn. This little rice cooker is the bomb

Perfect little rice cooker, and emphasis on the little part. This thing can only hold 2 cups of uncooked rice at best or you will be guaranteed to have water spewing out while cooking. It’s great for small batches of rice and cooks fast. No negatives other than it’s really small, too small for a house hold with kids.

I love this appliance. It’s so useful and easy to work with. I like it so much I named it Rizo!
I can add one cup of white or brown rice and 1.5 cups of water and add veggies to the steamer and turn Rizo on. And I’m always sure that I’ll end up with a warm delicious cooked rice.
Also, I can add one cup of penne pasta and add salt and pasta sauce and add water until the pasta is covered by water, and turn Rizo on.
It has made my life so easy and is worth 100x times its cost!

This rice cooker is awesome for its price; it is made of non-stick material and works so well. Just perfect for one or two people. Happy with the purchase.

I’m loving this tiny little rice cooker! I used to have a microwave cooker and it was pretty inconsistant when it cooked the rice; most of the time it would be undercooked and it always made a huge mess in the microwave. So I decided to try out this cheap, highly rated rice cooker and I’m so glad that I did. I usually only cook for two people, so I make about .5-1 cup of rice (uncooked). There is plenty of room to cook another cup or two, making this cooker ideal for feeding 1-4 people. It’s small, so it takes up very little space on my counter, and the small size also makes it easier to clean. It takes about 15 minutes to make the perfect rice. I took the advice of other reviewers and used a bit more water than the instructions called for. This is definitely the way to go. The recommended water is not quite enough, but it is easy to figure out the correct amount (only took me two times to get it right, and even when it wasn’t right, the rice was still decent). I also took the advice from people saying to turn it off when it is done cooking. I have not tried leaving it on yet, so I’m not sure if that would ruin the rice or not. Now my favorite part…. the steamer!!!! I love steamed vegatables, and now I can steam them at the same time that my rice cooks!! I was skeptical at first…. but I tried some carrots and broccoli in there the first time I used it, and they were steamed to perfection! What a great idea! It’s less work, less dishes to clean, and it steams it perfectly.
I would recommend this for anyone who wants a cheap but fantastic little rice cooker. Great for singles or small families. Cooking the rice is very quick and easy with minimal work, and cleaning the cooker is quite easy as well (no burnt stuff on the sides that would require scrubbing or soaking). And let’s face it…. the price is hard to beat!
UPDATE: I’ve been using this cooker for about a year now. I have seen no decrease in performance since I bought it. I use it about twice a week, and it is one of my favorite kitchen appliances. To elaborate on the first review I left…. yes, leaving it on the “warm” setting after the rice has finished cooking will dry it out a bit. Just unplug it once it has finished cooking, or just eat it right away. If you insist on keeping it on the “warm” setting, add 2-3 more oz of water at the start. I have also tried many veggies in the steamer, and they all turn out great! Carrots, beans, broccoli, peppers, peas, corn, cauliflour, the list goes on. And all of them turn out so well. I will use this thing until it breaks!

I LOVE this rice cooker. First off, it’s freaking adorable. I keep it on my counter because it seriously gives me the warm fuzzies. I am a single person and spent a long time searching for something affordable and not for a family of 12.
I’ve used it at least once every single day for the past 4 months for my morning oatmeal. It’s so nice and easy to press the button and go shower or whatever. In regards to the bottom sticking issue, I have recently found waiting about 10 minutes after it clicks to ‘warm’ lets the bottom layer cool off and moisten so it easily releases with the included paddle.
For rice it works great. Follow the instructions and everything will be okay. Allow it to rest after it switches to warm for super easy to scrape results. If you are super hungry, open right away and devour scrumptious rice. Let bottom layer soak in sink, it will clean right off. Yes, if you make larger quantities, molten hot water squirts everywhere. This does not bother me, I simply wipe it up.
The steamer works like a charm. I usually just put water in the bottom and veggies in the top. If you are some kind of kitchen timing savant, go ahead and put rice in the bottom and then poach salmon and steam asparagus spears in the top so they are all done at the same time.
This is a simple unit that brings whatever inside to a medium boil and then flips to warm when most of the water is evaporated because it gets hotter and triggers the thingy inside to pop. Keep adding water and it will go forever. Do with this what you will. It will take a little practice to get things the way you like them, like with any appliance.
I religiously use plastic only for cooking and cleaning and the teflon coating is still good as new.
For the price this is a really good buy. I recommend this product! 😀

We’ve been using this for several months now, and although I haven’t had the opportunity to use its other features, it does the job of rice cooker very well. Exactly like the basic Walmart model I used to have, fill the scoop with water twice for every time you filled the scoop with rice, assemble and turn it on. It’s easy, if I put the rice on before I start cutting veggies for stirfry then it’s done before I am, and it the removable parts clean easily in the dishwasher. I only put the bowl on the top rack as I’ve seen a few reports of it warping, but the lid always goes on the bottom and the scoop/spoon go wherever they fit when I’m loading. Everything survives and comes clean easily!
The only thing I would say to watchout for is spray during the cooking process. I’m used to some startchy rice water escaping through the vent hole in the lid on a ricecooker and I always set it on a kitchen towel anyway to avoid a mess on the counter, but this particular model requires me to use only my longest towels and arrange them strategically. The vent hole ejects stray rice water forward nearly a foot, and not only does this result in a messy counter, it stings when it gets you as you’re cooking nearby!
