overall I be really please with this rice cooker . I have not eat rice for age and it be wonderful to have this little pot to make it for I with no effort . it make enough for 1-2 or maybe even 3 people . this be my second of these cooker . the first one work ok at first , but it be hard to make it stay on cook , the button would switch back to warm before it be do cooking . if you have any problem like this when you get it send it back immediately , it will only get worse . Amazon and Black and Decker be both really good about send I a new one . the new pot 's lid do not fit as well as the old one , so I end up keep the pot and lid for the first one and the base from the second one . for the price this be not something I `` m too angry about , I have a nice rice cooker that make awesome rice . if the one you get be not absolutely perfect , send it back . I suspect a lot of the disparate review be the result in vary quality within the product . but hey , it be a $ 12 rice cooker .
