Caucasian making perfect Rice? YUP! August 19, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful

If you ever have the chance to go in to the home of an Asian family you see a rice cooker where the toaster generally sits. I love brown rice, and making it on the stove in a pot worked, but I didn't get the results I desired. This machine is so simple and if you have a busy schedule the timer function insures the rice will be done when you want it. Make sure you wash out the iside of the machine thoroughly before using or your rice will take on a plastic smell. It goes away with use. I use the rice and water rations that are on the rice package and each time it comes out perfect. Steel cut oats are also a no brainer for the Sanyo ECJ-PX50S.

Sanyo ECJ-PX50S 5-Cup Micro-Computerized Pressure Rice Cooker and SteamerI'm very happy to have this rice cooker. I never thought I could purchase it in America. It's a small world. Tks. Amazon.
It is convenient and it's cheaper than Asian stores to buy it.
It cooks very well - soft and firm, and tastes very good. I'm very satisfied.

Amazing Rice - Horrible Service! April 2, 2008
4 out of 4 found this review helpful

The rice is great but don't expect any service.

I lost a part after I already assigned 5 stars so I am adding this so everyone is aware. I would reduce to 3 stars based on my experience with Sanyo Service.

Be careful with all the parts. You will not be able to find a replacement. Sanyo Service is useless. They are more interested in closing service questions than in resolving them. A small part from the inside of the lid fell off and got lost while cleaning. I have contacted the Sanyo Serice who said to contact the parts centers. The parts centers have no record of this rice cooker and after they claim to research it. They never follow up and I have called numerous time. If I could I would reduce the rating to 3 stars due to the fact this rice cooker has a number of small parts that with frequent use may need replacement but it appears that replacement will require purchasing a new rice cooker.
-------------

The rice cooked in this rice cooker is noticably better than from other rice cookers we have used.

My wife is Japanese which means the rice cooker is used almost everyday. We purchased this rice cooker after the one we had broke. I was skeptical that this rice cooker would really make a difference. I was wrong. The rice from this rice cooker is much better than from other rice cookers both in taste a texture.

Aside from making amazing rice, it is easy to use and is very well build (except for a few small parts). The pot is quite thick and solid. Be prepared for some odd popping noises while the rice is cooking as the cooker lets off steam.

We have not tried the slow cooking or other features yet, but I expect they will also work well.
