Banu Mini Low Carb Rice Cooker Japanese Low Carb Rice Cooker 3 Cups (white rice), 1 Cup (Low carb rice) Uncooked with Stainless Steel Steamer, Rice Maker Low Sugar Rice Function, 24H Delay Timer & Auto Keep Reduce One-Touch Cooking - Black

I bought this thinking I can use it instead of the bigger banu rice cooker I have. This was too small but I can say the rice cooker is easy to use and is made of higher quality than some of the other rice cookers within the price range. It looks good and performs just as expected by extracting the water. Easy to clean and not a bad price point.

Great idea. Crappy execution. The control panel / menu button does not work beyond the first use. It is stuck in reheat mode despite being unplugged for 10 minutes + to reset the device. That is literally the extent of the troubleshooting support.

Just plug it in, touch the menu button. With every touch of the menu button, it cycles through the settings. When it's where you want it, press start and that's it. To stop or cancel a cycle or to exit the keep warm mode, press and hold down cancel. You have to leave your finger on it for a few seconds for it to work. This is a good feature that prevents accidental button pressing.I initially used this with medium grain white rice on the low carb function. Worked pretty well. Then as a bonus, I realized there was a dolsot function! The best thing ever! Now I can have pegao/nurungji/crispy rice whenever I crave it! 😋P.S. I noticed a reviewer wrote this: "After the rice cooked then it would restart again backwards..."I'm just letting everyone know that reviewer was mistaken. That count up after the countdown from the rice cooking is the keep warm function letting you know how long the rice has been kept on keep warm. Sounded like that particular reviewer in their confusion left the pot on way too long causing their rice to burn. Tech isn't for everyone, so keep that in mind if you're buying it as a gift.Update: Some people may not hear the rice cooker beep when it's done, especially older people. This is because the beep is at a high pitch that although younger people can hear, most older people can't, because high pitch hearing loss is very common (and most people aren't aware they have the loss) among older people.

This product performs as advertised. And having the low carb rice is great. The only small issue I have is with the inner basket when you are finished cooking the rice. The little wire loop is good for lifting it out of the water. But It might be a little warm. And the loop also gets in the way when trying to get the rice out of the inner basket. These are NOT deal breakers. Also, cleaning the inner basket if you don't have a dishwasher can be a little tricky. However, all in all, I would still recommend this item.

This machine is temperamental when it comes to programming. For some reason it often will not bring up the menu and then I have to mess with for a few minutes. Very frustrating as a busy mom. Once it allows me to program it does cook the rice nicely.

Small. One of the legs snapped off inside the cooker after a month. The teflon (or whatever it is) started flaking off the insert pot after a few months. I ONLY use rubber ride paddle in it and hand wash it. My rice cooker from 1970 that my aunt handed down to me (while ugly af), was 10x better than this very pretty looking useless paper weight. Only giving 2 stars because it is pretty.

This little rice cooker works great. It looks good on your counter top and does the job. Can make a variety of rices. Made for one person and can steam veggies or anything you want. I love this machine.

Muy complicado y muy pequeño
