I love this rice cooker . I have never own one before but use it at my brother 's house for make oatmeal and love the way it come out . you can set it up at night with the time you want it to be ready and it come out perfect . I have also make brown rice in it use the timer and it also come out great . the non-stick pan be so easy to clean . I can make enough rice in the 3 cup model for 4 people . I be so glad I buy it .
