 Sanyo rice cooker January 7, 2009
21st Century Consumer
Easy to use everyday. Quick cleanup. Compact, does not occupy much counter space. Looks good.
Best purchase ever January 4, 2009

Cooks all types of rice beautifully & saves time. Rice is never over or undercooked. This is the best purchase we made in 2008. Brown rice comes out the nice & fluffy. The timer function ensures that we have warm rice ready to serve when we need it.
It is the perfect size cooker for a small family.
I have used it only for a month so cannot say much about durability.
 perfect for me December 27, 2008

the rice comes out perfect each time but steaming tray is a little bit to low and food ends up boiling.
Great, reliable and versatile rice cooker! December 9, 2008

I had to have a great rice cooker. Not just one of those cheap ones with the glass lids that almost no one in Asia has anymore, but a fancy, computerized one. So when I saw this rice cooker on Amazon and saw that it had a separate pot for steaming/slow cooking, I was sold. I actually had my eye on a 5.5 cup Zojirushi cooker before, but the features (compared to this Sanyo one) just did not compare or justify the price difference.
Have had this cooker for about three months now, and have used it at least once a week (some weeks more, some weeks less...it varies due to my schedule and pantry items). Rice comes out cleanly and evenly-cooked every time (even if I add too little or too much water). I've been cooking jasmine rice and brown rice in here, and have been able to keep both jasmine and brown rice in the fridge for up to five days without it spoiling and getting too hard to eat (especially for fried rice). I've also steamed dumplings in it, and the only complaint I have regarding that is that I wish there was a better steam tray for this unit. The steam tray that comes with this cooker has concave dips in it to accommodate 8 eggs, and that gets slightly annoying, but only from an aesthetic point of view. Not really a dealbreaker!
The recipe booklet that comes with this cooker has some great recipe ideas. I've only tried the beef rice jook recipe so far. It's a bit on the thick side (like the consistency of REALLY thick oatmeal), but it at least gives you a starting point to tweak the recipe to your liking on some popular Asian (mainly Chinese) dishes.
Timer function is great, if a bit confusing to remember the first few times, along with the 12-hour warming function (though I've never had to use the warming function for longer than an hour so far). No warming function for rice porridge, but if you turn the unit off and then back on again, it will automatically stay on "warm". The noise that this unit makes when your food is done is also not the usual somewhat-annoying, very cheesy musical tunes that a lot of other fancy rice cookers have. It's just a standard beeping noise, and not too annoying or long.
Overall, I couldn't be happier with this cooker. If I can find a better steaming tray so that I can maybe steam some meals with my rice, I would be in heaven. This cooker definitely has the potential to do it all.
GREAT RICE COOKER!! November 8, 2008

I GOT THIS RICE COOKER AND IMMEDIATELY MADE SOME RICE AND IT CAME OUT ABSOLUTELY PERFECT. I MADE SOME CHINESE JOOK (PORRIDGE) AND IT CAME OUT PERFECT. I USED THE SLOW COOKER TO COOK SOME SPARE RIBS WITH BLACK BEAN SAUCE AND IT CAME OUT TENDER AND PERFECT. THIS COOKER COOKS BETTER THAN ME AND THINKS BETTER THAN ME...WHO COULD ASK FOR MORE. VERY HIGH TECH!!
