This is our first Rice Cooker so I can’t compare it with other products.
Easy to use, easy to clean, 2 pots are usefull. Only complain – the second pot is lesser quality (thiner), but not like I noticed performace difference.

cooks very well, rice or slow cooking,
but if i am to choose again, i might choose a better product that does not use aluminum inner lids.
also the plastic smell is very strong at the first few times you use it.

My Tiger computerized rice cooker has worked for more than 5 years and it still works very well, but it looks old. So I thought it was time to get a new rice cooker. I did a lot of research and finally decided to get the Sanyo 10-cup micro-computerized rice cooker and slow cooker because it has so many interesting features and I have a big family now. After I used it a couple of times I realized it was not as good as I had been expecting.
Many people have described the positive aspects, which I agree with, but there are also several negative points, which I have experienced, and share with you here:
1.The lid is not sealed very well. I can see some light go through a small gap from the side.
2.When I push the lid opening button, it opens so quickly and forcefully that the empty cooker shakes and tilts.
3.When first using the cooker there was a strong plastic smell (someone has already mentioned that)
4.Rice will go bad easily if left inside the cooker a little bit longer. My Tiger can keep rice fresh for a very long time even in the summer.
Honestly for a rice cooker it does it’s job. Thinking of price, the Sanyo has been much lower than a Zojirushi but recently the price of the Sanyo is getting higher so the gap is much less.
This is the first time I have returned a product. If the Sanyo 5½ cup cooker price drops down to reasonable range I would consider buying it because I need a slow cooker too. Or I would buy a Zojirushi rice cooker which my friend has and says works better than my old Tiger.

This is my first rice cooker and I love it! It is so simple and makes the best rice ever. Mostly this device has made my life much simpler and I look forward to playing with it and trying new recipes very soon.
