After using my friend's rice cooker a few times although not the same brand, I was inspired to purchased my own.
I have had it for two months now and I have no regrets buying this product. It has a chrome base but inside has a non stick bowl which you only need to lift out to wash it and glass lid.
As I have been cooking rice for quite a few years, I tend not measure it out. With experience you can judge the amount of rice yourself, - put the rice in the bowl, add water to cover by 1 inch or more depending on type of rice, add spices and vegetables as you wish and just leave it to cook by itself. Once in a while you just fluff it up with the provided spoon. Also it keeps the rice warm. This is my way of cooking rice though.
Frankly, I used it twice a week and hey! it is easy to clean and rice does not stick to the bottom.
Little tip, use a nob of butter or a tablespoon of olive oil.
