4 out of 5 stars Great rice cooker. Works for family of Four   January 18, 2008

Great rice cooker, doesnt take up too much space on the counter. Easy to use. I like the way it cooks white rice best. Brown rice and whole grains like wild rice seem to be not cooked as well. Might be me not using it properly but I do what the instructions say.

After a couple of attempts to get one that actually works (not from Amazon), we've given up. The first one we got never bothered to stop the cooking process until the lever was forced up. The rice burned every time. Returned. The button on the second one we got never wanted to stay down and cook. Returned. The same with the third attempt... ugh!! We're just using it temporarily now until we find a better model. We use scotch tape to hold down the lever to cook it and use an egg timer to estimate the cooking time. What a waste of time, effort, and money. Very disappointed since I've always thought of Oster as a good brand name kitchen product. Wish I could give it zero stars. :(


3 out of 5 stars OK, but...   September 30, 2007

This rice cooker does meet your basic needs. It's very easy to use. However, we found something really weird about it. First, it produces some plastic burning smell every time we use it. Second, it beeps when the rice is done, which is good. But somehow, the beep/whistle won't stop until we unplug the power. It's pretty odd since once the power is unplugged, how do you suppose to keep the rice warm??
