Amazon.com Review:
Healthy cooking and sleek modern design meld in this rice cooker from Cuisinart. A smaller version of the eight-cup cooker, this one also features a handsome brushed stainless-steel exterior, a square shape with rounded corners, chrome-plated handles, and a glass lid with a stainless rim, chrome knob, and steam vent hole. Inside you'll find a high-quality stainless-steel steaming basket and a nonstick cooking bowl that produces 4 to 7 cups of rice. The cooker also steams vegetables and thin cuts of meat, creating a complete, fat-free meal with little effort. Besides various types of rice, the cooker cooks couscous, polenta, oatmeal, boiled eggs, shrimp, and much more. An included booklet presents gourmet recipes for such mouth-watering meals as Creamy Parmesan Risotto with Asparagus, and Teriyaki Steamed Chicken with Cranberry Wild Rice.

Cuisinart gives this upscale rice cooker extra panache with a cord that pulls out and then retracts for storage. One lever is all that's required to flip the machine on. Two different colored LED lights illuminate, one during the cooking phase, and the other when the machine automatically switches to warm when cooking is done. Included with the machine are a textured plastic paddle for stirring and serving, and a plastic measuring cup calibrated specifically for rice. All the unit's removable parts are dishwasher-safe. The cooker measures 7-3/4 by 7-3/4 by 9 inches, and is covered by a three-year warranty. --Ann Bieri

Customer Reviews
Average Rating: out of 5 stars
Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - poorly executed, good idea
A messy device. The lid fits poorly on the pot, better on the steamer accessory. Boilover is a problem, even with a partial load. Hard to handle the steamer/lid to add to pot or to steamer. Steamer construction traps particles in the bead of the steamer, difficult to clean. I can make good food with it, but for the price, I can do as well with my Lodge stovetop dutch oven, with much less mess.

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Cuisinart 4-Cup Rice Cooker
Bought as a gift and the receipient like the product, however felt the
"4-cup" is deceiving. Nevertheless, it goes very well with their new kitchen and it is good enough to cook rice for two people.

Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Poor Design
This is one of the worst designed products I have ever used.It is impossible to make rice without it making a huge mess on the countertop.Then, it is very difficult to clean the outside of the thing.I should have kept the cheap one that I replaced; it was far superior.

Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - HUGE LOSER
Makes a massive mess every time I use it.Burns brown rice. Sad disappointment.

Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Good,,, no retractable cord though
Like the cooker, makes great oatmeal.
Disappointed with the retractable cord, it doesn't exist
