I've had many rice cookers/steamers over my lifetime, and still have a large one for lots of rice with features for white and brown rice cooking as well as steaming - it works great.  However, this one, the Black and Decker 3-cup unit I actually USE much more than my large one.  It is small enough that its left out on the counter as we have been using it all the time!  Simple to use, simple to clean, fast to cook the rice.  One of the best parts is, (compared to larger units holding more rice) this cooker cooks the rice quickly and it is done in no time.  I use good jasmine rice and this unit cooks it perfectly, the texture is spot on which is important.  Now, since it is small, you can not leave the warm feature on for a long time as it will dry the rice out.  Makes perfect rice and a perfect amount for two people.  If I want more rice with the leftovers the next day (like with chicken curry) I just made another batch at that time.  Easy peasy.  Wonderful little rice cooker.
