Summary: If you've lost your instructions/cup, look here -- simple and effective 2008-10-04
Comment: This is a very simple device that does its job very well: cooking rice for people who don't want or need to cook several cups at once. Do read the description and realize that its limit is six cups of COOKED rice, so you aren't going to get large capacity. However, it is perfect for two or three people.
Rival did a disservice to its customers by writing the instruction book in such a way that it makes you think you MUST use its squirrelly measuring cup and internal markings for the nonstick basket. You don't. All you need to do is put in a 2:1 ratio of water to rice. For two people, I cook 1 1/2 cups of dry rice to 3 cups of cooked rice, and get about 6 servings' of side dishes, or 1 night of side rice and 1 night of fried rice for 2.
That's all. Just put in rice and double the amount of water.
I wouldn't want to try to cook a lot more than 1 1/2 cups of dry rice, as at the top of the cooking cycle it was bubbling through the vent hole in the cover and probably would have made a mess on my counter if I'd done much more than that.
But it does what it does: throw in 1 1/2 cups brown rice, 3 cups water, turn to Cook, come back in 1 hour, and you have a pot of perfectly cooked rice. It spends 45 minutes on the Cook cycle, and 15 minutes on the Warm cycle, which yields rice that isn't too dry or too gloppy.
It's not fancy, and I probably would never use their included recipes. I don't intend to use it for steaming. But given how easy it is to cook rice in it without having to monitor it or turn down the burner or worry about boiling over, I'll probably make rice a lot more often.

Summary: Perfect For the Single Life!! 2008-09-13
Comment: If you live alone and have a healthy lifestyle then this is the kitchen appliance for you!! I wanted to start eating healthier by eating more steamed veggies and brown rice, so this appliance fulfilled both of those needs!! It is very easy to use and my rice comes out great! I've made rice on the stove before but I would always seem to burn it or not put enough water in or just somehow royally screw it up (I can be a klutz in the kitchen haha). Its very convenient because you don't have to worry about burning the rice when you are making other stuff in the kitchen, especially since it automatically clicks over to the warming mode when it is done cooking. It even makes great sushi rice! The steaming basket is also fantastic! I've steamed everything from veggies to home-made chinese dumplings in it! I haven't steamed meat or fish in there yet but I would love to try some day! I live alone and this is PERFECT for a single person or a couple. I really love it a lot and I would recommend it to anyone!! It is hands down my FAVORITE kitchen appliance!! GET IT NOWWWWW!!

Summary: Perfect for a small family or to make sushi 2008-08-26
Comment: I purchased this at target and I love it. I have had it for a week and have used it everyday. Its perfect for a single person, apartment living, small family or to make sushi, I made 5 sushi rolls with the 6 cups. The rice comes out perfect everytime. I use less water than the instruction manual says to use, just enough to cover the rice. If you are making japanese or sushi rice make sure you rinse the rice several times and then let it soak. I would recommend this to anyone. It is small so it is easy to store.

Summary: Loved it until . . . . 2008-08-12
Comment: I loved this rice cooker, and used it weekly for 4 months, until it just stopped working. Surely the life span should not be only 4 months.
