I love this rice cooker . it will be the first one I have own and come from a college student it be a perfect choice give the size and ease of cooking . the only problem I find have nothing to do with the actual product . this cooker be really only enough for about three people -lrb- with no leftovers -rrb- . usually I will still attempt to make a lot of rice for myself , sometimes for a few other , and still have leftovers . I have overfil -lrb- so much so that the lid be lift by the rice -rrb- this thing to make at least 4 cup . it be barely any mess even then and only have to be wipe down . it will not splatter if you do not overfill it . I have yet to clean the inside under the removable bowl since nothing make its way past the bowl or lid . the product be well worth 5 star . -lrb- if you do not think so keep in mind the price . -rrb-
