Very simple to use and cooks rice well. I love that it also has a steamer for vegetables. It's exactly what I expected for a starter rice cooker. The recipes and freebies were also very helpful. The rice cooker inner pan is quite light, and as a result, shakes and lifts up a bit when scooping rice, meaning you'll have to hold it down, but it's quite hot. Would also be great if a hole on the handle was included to hold the rice cooker spatula that came with it. Overall though I have no complaints.
