Summary: Rice turns bad the same day 2010-03-18
Comment: The sanyo rice cooker is aweful. I am asian, and i've cooked rice my whole life. I thought the product would be decent based upon the reviews. It cooks the rice decent, but you can not keep it warm for a day, the rice turns yellow.

Summary: Excellent rice cooker! 2009-11-13
Comment: This is now our third rice cooker. We don't use it every day, but I do make a number of dishes frequently that require rice. The ability to dump rice and water and press a button makes this very worthwhile.
Previous cookers either scorched the rice on the bottom and/or made a nasty disgusting mass of starch. Not so here. Handy markers inside tell you how much water to add depending on the amount of rice you're cooking. The timer function allows you to set a time when you want the rice - very handy if you know that your meal will be ready at a specific time and don't want to worry about making sure you start the rice at the right time.
The biggest benefit I get out of this model over previous models is it's very clean while cooking. Lower models have a steam vent that winds up blowing very starchy water all over the counter. The design of the Sanyo pretty much prevents that, with only hot steam coming out the top (so don't use it directly below a cabinet).
If you're looking at this compared to a $20 cooker, save yourself the time and regrets and just get this model.

Summary: Definitely worth purchasing 2009-10-28
Comment: I went back and forth between this one and a more expensive Zojirushi machine, but ultimately decided to save around $50 and get this model. For our 2 person household, it's a great machine.
Pros:
- Set it and forget it rice making. I don't have to watch the pot.
- Multiple settings for rice, porridge, brown rice, etc. I've even cooked polenta and risotto perfectly in here.
- Easy cleanup due to the stick free surfaces.
- Retractable electric cord so it doesn't go all over our counters. Why doesn't every appliance have this?
Cons:
- Manual is a bit obtuse, but the machine isn't that complicated
- The top part where the steam vent is becomes somewhat hard to clean
- There is a piece of paper under the bowl - make sure you take it out before you cook with it the first time!

Summary: no part replacement 2009-10-16
Comment: note that sanyo discontinue all "Inner pot" part for this product (and the same goes for most of their other rice cookers). you won't find a new inner pot anywhere even if u go to their authorized part dealer, which means that if u would to buy this product now, you would be stuck with replacing a perfecting fine working rice cooker couple years down the road just because you have a scratched inner pot.
