panasonic Rice Cooker 19.95 free shipping

Forget the keep warm option on this one. According to the review I found, the keep warm burns the rice if you don't unplug it right after it stops, and the cook timer will take more than one cycle to cook more than 2 cups.

if U want a good rice cooker, go to those Asian market/supermarket and look for the elephant brand (pic of an elephant). That is the best. My house, we been using that over 10 years and it works excelently. Of cause if you leave the rice in there for more then 1 day, the rice tense to get a little dry since it has been kept warm. The one we have, it has the capacity of I think 8 cups but we usually put in 6 or 7. And it takes about 30min to cook.
 
I had this in college for the past 4 years. NO keep warm function, cooks rice in 25 min i think. Nothing fancy on it but does its job well. If your only cooking for a few people its better to get soemthing small like this than a 10 cup cooker.

Absolutely, not true. I've had this cooker for two years, and it make perfect rice every time. I leave the cord in after it stops cooking and never had it burn my rice. Works well whether you make one cup or three cups. I bought it from Fry's when it was on sale for 12.99.

SO TRUE.
GET ONE OF THOSE. THE ELEPHANT ONES.
BEST RICE COOKERS EVER. THE ZOJIRUSHI BRAND IS BAR NONE THE BEST.
 
I agree Zuzhoriji (spelling might be wrong) is the best rice cooker, however, you should look for time to time price reduction in amazon. I bought one 3-cup cooker half a year ago for about $40 from amazon.com, Asia market sells them for $120 a piece.

I love my Zojirushi (which I actually gave to my parents to use since they use it way more than I did), but I will also vouch for Panasonic in terms of build quality.

Now, I don't know about this PARTICULAR one, but our National branded one (National and Panasonic are both part of Matsushita) has lasted over 20 years and the only problem that occured was that the little glass viewing thing in the hood came unglued around 17 years in. So, we flipped it upside down and it still sits in there fine.

Of course if we really cared I'm sure we could glue it properly or even go buy a new cover, but whatever. My point is that Panasonic knows a thing or two about reliability...

I don't think I've ever been disappointed by anything I bought with the panasonic brand actually...my CD player refused to die no matter how badly I treated it, lol. The battery cover did fall off on the subway one day and I lost it but if I really cared Panasonic sells it for really cheap (like $1.47 plus shipping...damn shipping), but I had used a piece of tape for like 2 years. I don't use it anymore, but it's not because it doesn't work, I've just moved on to MP3s, but I had even used it a little in college before I got my ipod...freakin' trooper.

Yes I know I'm sounding like a raving Panasonic lunatic, but actually those are probably the only two panasonic/national pieces I've actually owned so there ends my rave. Still, 2 out of 2 ain't bad for a track record. And trust me when I say that I beat the crap out of that CD player. An ipod in it's place would have broken at least 3-4 times by now (and I say this having treated my ipod more carefully and seen how it reacted quite poorly), to be fair an ipod is obviously more complex by default, but I know other CD players would not have handled my treatment nearly as well.

Matsushita RULES, lol.

I hear those new digital amps from Panasonic are pretty kick-butt too.
