I have one I bought years ago. I love it! It's great to steam vegetables in too! :)

Received this as a wedding gift three years ago. It's an excellent rice cooker! But keep in mind it's smaller than most rice cookers you see, but it makes plenty for 2-3 people.

Also available for purchase via Amazon from buy.com at the same price. I'm in for one; thanks OP.

One of the few things my wife actually asked that I bring over when I moved out of my batchelor hovel into her lovely home. I recommend highly.

Checked Amazon.com for some quick comparison shopping. This particular one IS on there, and has 3.5/5 stars. So, it's not great, but not terrible either.

Common pro's: simple and works
Common con's: element can burn/overly brown rice on bottom of cooker

For $10 though it's not a bad deal at all.

@bandrik: I have one and it works well for various kinds of white rice and for basic long-grain brown rice. Not too bad for steaming a small quantity of buns, either. It's no Zojirushi, but for the price, it does the job.

After some further research, I will either go for this one, or a little more advanced one (link below). This red Rival is simple and inexpensive and would be great for college students and anyone else on a budget. But this next one seems a better build and still not terribly expensive.

Either one will be a solid purchase, based on your cooking needs and desires. :D

Edit update: the link below is for an 8-cup (makes 16 cups of rice after cooking) model. So great if you want more rice, but not if you don't want a bigger unit. Pick which is most suitable.

I love this little thing. I use it more often for hot bean and cheese dip or artichoke and spinach because of the size..mmmm...mmm...

DEAL OVER! It's sold out. Maybe they'll restock, but for now they're out of stock on both the original link above, and the Amazon.com one (it's switched from Buy.com to another seller. Same price but now with $6 shipping)

If you still want a small and cheap one, I recommend this one:

NOTE that it is SMALLER. I read that it's 3 cups COOKED, 1.5 cups uncooked. IF that is the case, it's 1/2 the size of the Rival one.

Dang, I saw this on my way out the door and was going to buy it when I got home, seems I got home too late.

Rival brand is not good.
I bought a bigger rice cooker and the nonstick came off within a month sticking with rice.

Not a farewell, just a forced redirect.

It's true, Local.Woot is no longer, but please don't despair.

Never-ending savings are still to be found on Deals.Woot each and every day, so come on in. Don't think of it as a time for tears. Think of it as a way to bring us all closer together under one roof.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
