- Automatic switch to Keep Warm

Who it's for
Suits a small household or single person who wants a basic set-and-forget rice cooker, or someone who wants a compact appliance for soups and grains too. Less suited to anyone expecting a truly nonstick pot, since sticking is a repeated complaint.
What buyers say
From Amazon customer reviews.
Reviewers like the size and ease of use, with several using it beyond rice for soups and grains, and call the Keep Warm switch reliable. The recurring complaint is that rice sticks to the bottom of the supposedly nonstick pot, and at least one buyer had a unit stop heating after about a month, though the seller replaced it promptly.
