This little cooker will change your life. Quite a claim, I know. Consider this: No more stirring, burned rice, soaking burned rice out of a pan, or scrubbing. Experiment with grains like barley and quinoa (keen-wah). Cook with broth instead of water. Come home to wonderful aromas and warm comfort food; make soups, stews, tapioca pudding, and steel cut oatmeal with maple syrup and sliced apples. When you're feeling punk, curl up in your flannel robe and eat porridge. Pour thick cream on it if you want. Treat yourself gently in these rocky times. Honor the small animal who lives within you; he has been buffeted by forces beyond his control. This too shall pass. I have no experience with the Zojirushi product, but I can't imagine anything better than this cooker. That it doesn't have a little holder for the paddle doesn't not justify Zojirushi's higher price. The heavy bowl is substantial and is truly non-stick.
Great product August 27, 2008

When you make sushi rice use a little less than the amount of water they specify for white rice. Too much water makes soggy rice, and too little water makes dry, crunchy rice. If you get the water level down the results are excellent; the taste is much, much better than a cheap rice cooker. Great non-stick bowl. I love the pre-soak function. This is definitely worth the investment.
So far, really impressed! August 17, 2008

So, far, this is a great cooker! I can do rice, quinoa, and even dried beans! I haven't tried bread yet, but the manual says I can make it, too! It's very useful. It is a great mid-range model, and a good size for a 2-person household.

When I saw it had a bread baking function, I was curious. I didn't expect a whole lot but I figured if the bread baking isn't great, I'd always have an oven anyway. So I took the chance.
I just used frozen bread dough (the one with 3 loaves in a bag). 1 loaf was a bit too big so I pinched off the end to make it smaller.
after 90 minutes I opened the lid it was all the way to the top. I then flip it over to brown the other side. Now the instruction says after 40 minutes you have to punch it down. Well, I didn't because I didn't hear the buzzer. But since it baked fine, I don't even bother to punch it down. It bakes fine without doing so. I used Pizza dough. What's great is that for a quick loaf, it won't heat up the whole kitchen. It doesn't use unnecessary eletricity(or gas) because you don't have to turn on the big oven. When we decide to have Italian, I just pop one piece of thawed dough. By the time the dinner is ready, bread is done. It doesn't produce dark crust, instead, it comes out with very light crust. Inside is so soft like steamed bun. It is so yummy. I also tried sweet roll dough with cinnamon, currant and sugar. It was great, too. I'm sure you can get really creative.
And by the way, it also cooks great rice, too. I used to own Zojirushi and I believe Sanyo cooks better rice than that. Not that Zojirushi is bad, it was an older model. This rice cooker's inner bowl is much thicker so that might be why....
Anyway, I am so glad I bought this.
Great purchase June 15, 2008

I am extremely pleased with my purchase of this Sanyo after researching different micom rice cookers to replace an on/off model. So far I've made brown rice, several varieties of white rice, steel-cut oats (porridge cycle), and bibimbap. Everything comes out great and the cooker is easy to clean and is attractive-looking with a small footprint. I haven't tried bread-baking yet and would like to hear from someone who has.
