I have have this rice cooker for a few month now . all I can say be , it work great ! it be suggest by a friend who buy a similar Zojirushi model year ago -lrb- which still work just as new -rrb- . at first I think , $ 130 for a rice cooker ? a bit skeptical , I give it a try and be pleasantly surprise . Perfect rice every time ! the only downside be that it can take a while to cook . not to be use if you want you rice now . it do have a quick cook setting , although even that will run about half a hour or so . some might think 3 cup be not all that much . now , I be not feed a village with this thing . . but for 4 people , 3 cup be more than enough . I 'll give it a `` a '' for it be simple use and definitely a `` a + '' for value .
