Product Description
Cook five cups of rice and steam fresh vegetables or dumplings using this Sanyo rice cooker and vegetable steamer. Once your rice has finished cooking, this small appliance automatically switches to a keep warm function to keep it at the right temperature until dinner is served. The Sanyo rice cooker and vegetable steamer has a white enamel finish on the outside and comes with a glass lid. The easy-to-clean inner pot is nonstick. A stainless steel steaming tray is also included for steaming a variety of fresh vegetables. Included with your Sanyo rice cooker and vegetable steamer is a measuring cup, spatula and a multi-language instructional manual.
Amazon.com Review
When just a basic, simple-to-use rice cooker is what's needed, this one fits the bill. A single switch starts the cooking process, and the keep-warm function automatically turns on when the rice is cooked. With markings in liters and cups, the inner pot features a nonstick finish for easy scooping of rice and cleanup. A stainless steel insert basket is included for steaming vegetables, and the glass lid allows cooking to be monitored. Measuring 9 inches in diameter and 7-1/4 inches tall (with lid inverted for storage), the white enameled cooker comes with a detachable cord, plastic spatula, measuring cup, and multi-language instruction manual. --Ann Bieri

 Great till it broke. February 2, 2008

I bought this rice cooker about a 1 1/2 years ago, and the nonstick coating has been peeling ever since the warranty expired. I contacted Sanyo because I thought they made replacement bowls for the cooker, but they don't. Buy a more expensive rice cooker because they usually make replacement bowls, or go with the Panasonic SR-G10G which has an aluminum pot.
When it was actually safe to use, the rice cooker actually performed very well. The design is very well thought out. Detachable cord, big side handles, and a nice lid with a handle that stayed cool.
Lid broke for no good reason October 14, 2007

I had high hopes for this simple, small rice cooker. Unfortunately, disaster struck on the first time out. I cooked 2 cups of brown rice without washing it first (my preference). The rice cooked perfectly. There was a little spitting but nothing like the other reviewers describe. I scooped out about a cup to eat and, because the instructions say not to leave the unit on "warm" with a small amount of rice, I turned it off and let the remaining rice sit while I ate. After about 15 minutes or so I heard a loud "bang" in the kitchen and found that the lid had broken into a million pieces. I don't see any other complaints like this, so it was probably some kind of defect, but that's what happened!

I love this rice cooker/steamer. The non-stick surface makes clean-up a breeze. It is compact and efficient.

I don't understand how anyone cooks with this. It blows out an immense amount of gooey steam water! I cooked brown rice, followed directions exactly, even soaking for an hour first. It was only 2/3's of the capacity, but it blew junk out the sides of the lid and out of the little blowhole and left a large puddle of gooey rice water around and under itself. A MAJOR mess.
I haven't even tasted the rice. So what if it's good? You can't cook with an appliance like this unless you put it in a giant sink or outdoors somewhere. What in the world is the deal? I don't even know if I can clean it up enough to return it....
Great and it also cooks oatmeal November 22, 2005

Perfect rice everytime but I've never cooked more than 2 cups dry rice at a time. I'm always present so I don't need it to shut off: 'warm' is fine. But what I really like is that it does a great job cooking hot cereal (steel cut oats, 7 grain- etc). Cereals always tend to bubble over and while the cooker lid gets a bit messy it never boils over. It is easy to clean too. I'm thinking of getting another one for our cabin. (hint: when cooking cereal...good to give a stir just after it gets cooking so the stuff doesn't congeal near bottom of pan).
