Title: Good value rice cooker.
Review: I live in Japan and have owned several rice cookers. I wanted to buy one for my mother in the USA. Bowl construction is a key factor and the highest quality models in Japan have specially constructed, really thick bowls. This cooker was advertised as having an "extra thick" bowl. I was dissapointed to find out that the bowl was not near as thick as Japanese models. I don't know how the bowl will hold-up in the long run but the cooker does make very good rice. For occasional use this one should be fine.
