the rice cooker be great for the first 6 month I have it . but then it stop work . I research the review here and find out that it have to do with the fuse . I buy one from Radioshack and replace it . and now it be work again . what suck be that return the item cost you $ 20 in shipping for a obvious defect in the product . if you do not mind the problem with the fuse , it be a great product .
