although it work very well , when the box arrive I say to myself , that be the box ? it can not be the rice cooker . sure enough it be , the box be very small and so be the rice cooker . I could not believe how small it be , I think it be a toy for the kid . the main reason I pick this one be for the B&D; name and also because of the non-stick bowl . most cooker be aluminum and everything stick and be a pain to wash . my old rice cooker that break be small too but this B&D; one be half the size of it ! like I say it work but its way way too small !
