I buy this little rice cooker over 1.5 year ago . as other have say , it be look very small , almost like a toy . I intend to use it only occasionally to make rice . but after discover how easy it be to use , and how dependably it cook the rice - have use it several time a week . I love the smell of the steam rice that escape from the vent while the rice be cooking . I usually make the maximum amount which be a huge plate full for one person or a very good size portion for two people . I make white and brown rice and sometimes make the package rice side dish -lrb- with spice packet -rrb- and they all come out great . this be a great value and have be very dependable . it be one of my favorite purchase from Amazon .
