I buy a rice cooker for the first time in my life . after read other people review I decide to try out this one . it be worth it . I use the cooker 2 or 3 time a week . and it work great . I have not have any problem with it so far . only one thing I do not like about this cooker be that it be really small and the cup be small too . if you have a bigger family then this be not for you . it be for the small family . very much recommend .
