Not as good as I expected
The cover is not closed very tight. It spills out water when you cook the rice. I exchanged one, it still spills. I don't recommend this brand.
Wonderful!!!
I have put off buying a rice cooker for years and I am so sorry I did. This is wonderful---it's so easy, just add the rice and water close the lid and wait. It makes the best rice. It's very easy to clean. I would buy it again in a second and not wait so long.
Better than imagined
The Sanyo Rice Cooker is a far better product than I had anticipated. I was simply looking for a basic rice cooker which had a non-stick surface. Additionally I wanted to avoid cookers which had plastic in direct contact with the food being prepared.
This cooker provides far more options than I need, but I will certainly make use of them.
Could have been better
Pros:
1) Cooks good rice.
2) Easy to clean and water does not leak.
3) Unit looks neat. Closed lid allows us to keep rice covered all times.
Cons:
1) You need to use atleast 3 cups of raw rice minimum. Ofcourse, it has 20 cup capacity and so this is not a major flaw.
2) After the rice is cooks, it automatically switches to keep warm function. There is no tick sound or any alarm to indicate this. The first time I used this, I was expecting a tick sound (like most rice cookers). After a while, I could smell something burning and realized that it automatically switches to warm function without any indication. This is a bad design. As a previous reviewer said, most cookers switch to keep warm function. ... Read More
Sanyo 10 cup rice cooker
A good rice cooker. The warm function is as another reviewer said before, warmer than my old National ricer cooker. If you leave it in warm mode overnight, it will create a thin layer of yellowish overcooked rice. My old National does not do this.
Aside from this, it is a good cooker. I would think it can last 5 years with daily usage and good maintemaince.
