What's great about it: Easy to use, Delay timer, Warmer
What's not so great: Nothing so far
Cooks 2 - 8 cups (uncooked) rice FAST... 20 mins for 2cups / 50 for 8 cups.
Steamer basket makes it easy to cook 2-4 cups of rice while steaming broccoli, carrots, asparagus, etc... healthy eating made easy, just turn it on and walk away. Follow the measurements in the book and you will have perfect rice everytime.
The non-stick cooking bowl cleans easily and my next trick will be to make soup in the cooker... This model is large enough to feed 12-16 people but versatile enough for everyday use with a family of three. Price is great, you get what you pay for.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: The warming button.
What's not so great: That it will not cook more than three cups of rice and chooses when it will even do that!
I love rice and would eat it for every meal if the family wouldn't rebel. Every time I turn around the rice cooker will not even cook the rice. If you have a large family and wish to make more than three cups be prepared to do it the old fashioned way on the stove because this thing most likely won't cook it. I have never been so disappointed in a purchase as I was with this one.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

What's great about it: One button walk away. Ease of use
I would recommend this rice cooker to everyone. For the price and the features it a Best Buy. You can set the rice to cook and come back to a great side dish to any meal. Also try chicken broth and peas for a quick and easy meal.
Above poster, did your mom try hitting the Warm/Off button? Works flawlessly, I take when I go on business trips along with a 250 recipe rice cooker cookbook for simple and inexpensive meals.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: Starts on it's own
What's not so great: You have to unplug from wall
Bought this for my mom, turns out you have to unplug it from the wall after each use. Returned it right away, not worth the money paid for.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
