Don’t buy it!
Only used for five months, then it broken down and it’s not the same plug in the UK. Don’t recommend buying this.

Conforme a la description. Excellent appareil!
I've owned a cheap rice cooker before which ended up malfunctioning. Been cooking rice in a pressure cooker for the past year and finally decided to get a new dedicated rice cooker to save me some time, so I decided to pick this one up as it's a reputable brand and had good reviews. I was a bit apprehensive about the price, but took a gamble.It might be the best kitchen appliance I've ever owned, and I don't say that lightly.- Cooks rice literally perfectly. No charring or burning/browning (using the sticky option), super evenly cooked. You can add your rice and set it to cook, go run a marathon or forget about it all day, and when you come back your rice is perfectly hot, ready to eat, and not burned one bit. I feel pampered.- Haven't experimented too much with multicook but it did make daal just fine, as well as some stew. The re-heat feature is also pretty neat and you can toss in your old, cold rice or curries and it warms it all up ready to eat in 10 minutes.- It is so easy to clean. All the important parts detach and let you rinse them, so you can keep this looking brand new and tidy with ease. This might be my favourite thing about it honestly. The rice dish doesn't even need soap, just rinse with water and a soft sponge and wipe dry.- Aesthetically speaking, it looks really nice so it'll fit right into any kitchen and doesn't take up much space either.FYI, you do need a large high power plug point for this. I live alone and cook about 2-2.5 cups of rice everyday and this is perfect for me.
Muy bueno el arroz.
Works great, instructions are clear and it's very easy to use after reading manual. Homemade rice has never tasted better. And it doesn't take up much space, after use when all the pieces are clean, they all fit back inside the unit.
I’ll start by saying this cooks, warms, and reheats rice perfectly. From a functionality perspective, this cooker is fantastic. A little pricey, but great.All of that said, I want to echo a lot of what the other reviews said. It’s pretty massive, so for storage purposes of something that’s frequently used, make sure you have plenty. If you ever open it underneath a cabinet, be very careful. The lid is extremely spring loaded and shoots up fast. I dinged my cabinet the other day. We are a family of 4 and typically don’t ever need more than two cups of rice. We love the cooker’s finished product, but it seems like overkill. Unless you exclusively eat rice as a family of 6, you probably don’t need something this big.Lastly and probably most importantly, it’s extremely important that you let the inner parts dry out after every use. It’s very easy to disassemble via embedded clips, but the steam and condensation produce somewhat relevant accumulation of water after each use. If you let this stagnant water sit over months at a time, you’ll be steaming your rice in mold. Just beware that a smaller cooker is probably sufficient for the average family.
My old $40 rice cooker had a badly scratched insert, so I decided to upgrade to something more versatile without spending $500+.I chose the 6-cup Cuckoo for our family of four and it’s been the perfect size. After a couple months and around 20 uses, I’ve made everything from regular rice to higher-protein/fiber blends with white rice, pearled barley, quinoa, lentils and black pearl rice. Everything has turned out great, and I love having so many different settings to experiment with.Cleaning is incredibly easy. I hand wash the nonstick insert with a soft sponge and it takes seconds to wipe clean. The coating still looks perfect, and I really appreciate that replacement inserts are available.The only downsides are that it is a little bigger and it does take a little longer to cook than my old basic rice cooker, but the results and added versatility are worth it to me.For me, this is the perfect middle ground between a basic rice cooker and the really expensive models. Very happy with the upgrade!
My review is based on having used the rice cooker twice (successfully). Upfront - I like the cooker. It looks good if I were to leave it on the counter and cooked my rice nicely. It does have a very springy lid, but that’s not a deal breaker for me. I’ve have only tried one setting (which is what I usually use the rice cooker for) and it worked great. Lots of button and options on top - try not to get overwhelmed by them.Extended review: I cooked 3 cups (dry) of short grain rice using the White Rice and Quick setting. The rice cooked just fine and the time was about 37 mins. (A little long IMO, but rice was cooked.) I don’t think I could have made 6 cups (dry) in this cooker. I fear that it would take the rice over the top, or at least touching the lid and have uneven cooking. My 3 cups already went beyond the halfway mark on the pot. I made 2 batches of 3 cups of rice for my dinner party, but for just me this rice cooker’s size is just fine. I left the rice in the pot on the warm setting and it indicated a time after a while so I know how long it was sitting warmed. Not sure if it has an auto off setting - need to read the manual more. I also need to see how to remove the moisture capture cap in the back since it didn’t easily slide out. I like that the top of the inner lid can be removed for cleaning. Wish it had a holder for the rice paddle.
I’ve tried many different cookers over the years. This one is better in every way. For one, the keep warm function actually keeps warm and doesn’t burn the rice on the bottom. The rice is perfect every time.I use this only for white rice but there are many different cooking options. It even has a self cleaning option! I’ve yet to use it but cleaning by hand is easy. The inner top part of the cooker comes off so it’s a breeze cleaning this thing. Also, anyone that uses rice cookers knows that unless you wash the rice, the excess starch will boil over while it cooks making a mess. Even when the rice is pre-washed this can happen. With this cooker? Hasn’t boiled over once! No mess whatsoever. Granted I’m only cooking 1-2 cups dry but still.To keep your bowl in great condition I suggest just using a wet napkin or paper towel with some soap as opposed to a sponge. Unless you use very soft sponges. This will keep the nonstick surface like-new. Overall I’m very satisfied and the price is just right.
