 The best rice cooker we've used.... Feb 11, 2008
By M. Wheeler
We've used several brands of rice cookers, all claiming to be good. One caught on fire after two months, another lasted only a year before it simply stopped working all together.
When we spotted the Rival cooker at a local store, we bought it based on the name. I've used Rival crockpots since my college days, and have never had a problem with them.
This cooker does the job, and does it well. We've had ours for just over two years, and the non-stick bowl has only now started to show wear. We mainly cook brown rice, with only the occasional white rice meal.
We like the larger capacity bowl. Though we could get along with a smaller bowl, this one allows us to add things in or various recipes, and the warming option keeps the meal nicely warmed.
We plan to replace our current rice cooker with the exact same model.
**My only issue with the 10-cup cooker has been the smaller bowl. If you're like me and sometimes add other ingredients that need to be stirred in, the smaller bowl makes that difficult. That was my own error in judgment.
A tip for those who have a problem with starch spewing onto counter tops; rinsing the rice helps alleviate this issue. Simply place the rice in a strainer and run cold water through it (or rinse it in the rice bowl). It's more of an issue with white rice than brown.

Good rice BUT...... Jun 23, 2008
By K. Jacobsen
I have been making rice with this cooker for 2 months now. It spews starchy boiling rice water on my counter every time I make rice. But,, I like the rice it makes. It is much better than what I made on the stove top. I was considering returning this cooker and getting another, as I checked the reviews, I found that many others had this same problem. I have decided to keep it; I worked out a little system of putting down 3 paper towels on the counter and when the cooking is done, I wrap up the mess and throw it in the garbage.

too small and too slow May 08, 2008
By mac li
So far it is not a bad product. The only negative side is it takes more than 30 minutes to cook 10 cups rice. It is much longer than the one I used to use.And also be ware that its capacity is ten cups cooked rice, not ten cups uncooked rice. It makes a big different.

Mine died in less than a year, with only sparse use (maybe once a month). I will not buy this brand again.

Don't Be Put Off By Its Low Price. Feb 10, 2008
By Robert Michel
"Bob"
This cooker was recommended to us by a Boston Globe review. Quite simply, it does the job well. Of special interest to us is its exceptional ability to cook brown rice -- indeed according to the Globe, there IS no better rice cooker for brown rice.
