I buy this to replace a large rice cooker that be far too large for just I . the portion size be perfect , unfortunately the quality of the cook rice leave much to be desire . Rice come out starchy and mushy . it be also very messy when it cook , as starchy water spurt out the small vent in the lid . if you be not too particular about you rice and just want a quick and simple rice cooker , this will be fine . just make sure you have a easily cleanable surface to cook on .
