Our verdict

A small travel rice cooker for one or two servings with a single button and a keep warm function. Capacity is the limit: it will not feed a crowd or handle large grain batches.

Overview

A solo diner, student or traveler gets a compact corded cooker with one button and a non-stick inner pot. Rice and water go in the pot, the lid closes, and one press starts cooking, after which the unit moves to keep warm.

Small households and tight kitchens get the most from this cooker because the body is light and the control is one button. Capacity is limited to a small batch, and the listing shows no timer, smart control or program list.

Who it's for

Travelers, office workers and students with a counter outlet and little room can use this cooker. Larger households, and anyone wanting presets for brown rice, porridge or steaming, should look at a bigger multi-function model.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Light and portable
  • One button operation
  • Keep warm function
  • Non-stick inner pot
Cons
  • Small batch capacity only
  • No timer listed
  • Plastic body and lid
  • Not smart home compatible

Performance notes

The wattage rating and the small pot size decide cooking speed: a small amount of water heats faster than a large pot would, so a batch for one or two people finishes sooner. The non-stick coating helps release the rice, and the keep warm function holds the finished batch until it is served.
