Cuckoo CRP-G1015F vs Hamilton Beach Rice and Hot Cereal Cooker

I checked out the Cuckoo US website & managed to get a bigger rice cooker for a cheaper price (they had a sale going on) compared to my dad who bought another model at an H Mart store.

If you do choose to purchase this device, I would suggest you do a test run with only water to verify the temperature points of your cooker before cooking any animal proteins in it. I feel like I overpaid for this device. I was able to use it approximately 40 times resulting in a per use cost of about one dollar. Feels too high for me

My husband actually ordered this for me - our old rice cooker still worked, but it was pretty beat up and I had lost the measuring cup, so my guesses on the rice to water ratio must've been off, because with this new cooker the rice is sooo much better! Light and fluffy for both white and brown rice! There's a couple functions I still need to try (I think it lets you reheat/cook old rice - and maybe even mixed in with new? - that will be awesome for re-using leftovers that had been stored in fridge for few days!) but it's easy to clean and I'm very satisfied as it is. I just need to get a Korean friend to translate what it's saying when the rice is done, she's sweetly saying something that's a little more elaborate than 'your rice is done' 😆

Maybe my review will be a little biased since we bought this after our super-cheap rice maker died and this one has several more features that I love about it. I love that it doesn't spew steam and nasty rice-water all over my counter like my old one did. I love that it has a countdown timer, a delay timer, and a keep warm feature. I love that the brown rice I cook seems to be fully cooked now as opposed to still crunchy in my old rice cooker

Open box product came and there was a crack on the corner of the bottom on the rice cooker. Please do not buy this product.

I do prefer Aluminum just to avoid any issues down the line. The product itself is very simple to use, 1-touch button and just leave it. It did have a weird strong plastic smell the first few times of using it, maybe from factory materials. After a while, it wears off
