pro : Perfect for cooking rice\/beans on a daily basis , I have be use it for almost 4 month . the quality of the non-stick material be good , but you need to be careful while wash the inner container and ensure scratch do not build up . I generally use it to cook 1.5-2 cup of rice . the cooking time be very fast compare to other similar device I have own . con : as a result of the fast cooking time , spillage occur even while cooking small quantity . it do create a mess on the kitchen counter . a trade off with the speed of boil would have be nice .
