Sanyo ECJ-D55S 5.5-Cup

Best Price: $113.00

from Yumi, www.cooking.com
this rice cooker is just the right size for a family of three or four.
from www.beachaudio.com
it was more compact in size then i expected so i was happy.
from www.amazon.com
i tried 2.5 cups dry rice (uncle bens) and the cooker became about 3/4ths full of cooked rice and am a little scared of trying 3 or 4 cups because it may overflow.
from www.amazon.com
she loved it, its a different look, cooks fast perfect rice and 5.5 cups is enough for our family of 4 , maybe even 5!
from www.amazon.com
i kept my old one button unit tho; it is a much better steamer than this one (the basket is too small i think).

Best Price: $116.00

from www.amazon.com
it is the perfect size cooker for a small family.
from www.amazon.com
it does not really have a negative but i would recommend that you make only enough for 1 meal (5.5 cups or less is right for a family of 4-6).
from www.amazon.com
the 10 cup cooker i have is overkill unless you have a very large family.
from www.amazon.com
as for size, i probably could have done with a smaller one (being a single girl), but i'd rather have too much than too little and i did have space for it.

if you really need a rice steamer i would say it would be too small but we don't eat a large amount of rice at one time here so it will work for us.
from www.amazon.com
- steamer is large (length is size of two square dinner plants side-by-side).
