What's great about it: good rice
What's not so great: doesn't actually make 6 cups
The rice cooker made great rice. However, it doesn't really make 6 actual cups of rice. I made 4 cups, and it was filled almost to the top. It makes 6 "rice cooker" cups. Which are actually only 3/4 of a cup. But, if you don't need it to make that much it is a great little rice cooker.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: easy to clean and just the right size
What's not so great: nothing
Exceeded my expectations: easy to use, clean, and makes tasty rice for one or two people. Non-stick rice bowl very easy to clean. I bought this for my son. I am now shopping for a larger version of the Rival for my family to replace my rice cooker with the aluminum clad rice bowl. Haven't used the steamer yet.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: Easy to use, Make great rice, Great Value
I bought one of these several years ago and have been using it once or twice a week since. I liked it so much that I bought one for each of my daughters and girlfriend. All of them get regular use. I like brown rice with my meals so I cook up a batch and put the leftover rice back in the fridge in the cooker pan. To re-heat, I just put a splash of water in the pan and put it back to steam. I also use this for any number of other rice based recipes. To clean I put the top in the dishwasher, the pan washes quickly with soapy water.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's not so great: Died after a month.
When it worked, it was great. Terrific rice in 15 minutes. Then just over 30 days later it won't power up. We only used it about four times and always cared for it as recommended. I looked up the manufacturer warranty and it would cost me over the price of a new one to send it to them via UPS Ground and then include a prepaid 'shipping' fee of an additional ten dollars.
I will replace it with another brand as this had to be the poorest excuse for a kitchen appliance and I won't be purchasing Rival products again. I guess you get what you pay for... but I expected it to last at least a year, not a month.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
