I buy this specifically because I want a small rice cooker for make enough for 1 or 2 people . its perfect for that . I have to laugh at the review that complain how small it be and it wont hold 6 cup of rice . well duh ! it be clearly indicate on Amazon 's site : `` hold 3-cup of cook rice , 1-1\/2 cup of uncooked rice . measure approximately 7-1\/2 by 7-1\/2 by 6-3\/5 inch '' . what else do you need to know ? now , the reason I give it only 1 star be because it scorch the rice on the bottom of the pot every time I use it . I have try at least 8 different kind of rice , with butter , without butter , every possible way and it burn it every single time . the only way around this be to watch it and unplug it when it get close to be do . that kind of defeat the purpose of have a rice cooker where you should be able to load it up , turn in on and not mess with it until its do .
