Full review

The rice cooker was bought to replace another rice cooker with a hinge style lid. No problems with its operation and the instructions in the booklet were spot on for the measures of rice to water. It's very reliable and consistent in its operation.
However there is a lot of steam when cooking so it needs a window to let the steam out otherwise the walls get steamed and you do get a lot of rice foam bubbling over the lid and down the sides of the cooker. Having said that the outer case and bowl and lid are all very easy to clean. And after some use you soon get the balance of rice to water and washing just right to minimise the overflow from the cooker. The cooker is in use almost every day so I would rate this for use and reliability and ease of cleaning. Also the steamer tray is well designed it has lift up handles so you can get the tray out of the bowl easily after steaming. And it cooked really quickly as there are lots of holes to increase steam circulation. Also cooking food and rice underneath means the food gets all the juices from the tray above and its all cooked in one go. In summary this cooker looks
good is simple to use , but does its job well.
