My Salton rice cooker finally gave out after 8 years of use, and I replaced it with the Black & Decker Rice Cooker Plus. The good points are it is quite easy to use and can cook rice quite well. The disappointment to me is the cleanup.
Having used the Salton, I am accustomed to the starchy steam these types of cookers produce but I find this cooker to be messier than my Salton was. It "spits" all over its top, handles and even the surrounding coutertop are and floor (I have to line with paper towels to catch some of the sputter). I've tried rinsing the rice first and the performance was the same.
It is a big plus that the rice container itself is nonstick, but the lid takes some scrubbing, not just a light wash. I suppose this is a good value for the price I paid (under $30), but I think I may be upgrading soon to avoid that sticky mess.

Take the guesswork out of making perfect rice with this easy-to-use rice cooker. The handy appliance offers an 7-cup uncooked-rice capacity and can produce up to 16 cups of cooked rice at a time--great when gathering with friends or cooking for the whole family. Simply add dry rice, measure in the water, and turn the unit on. Once the rice has fully cooked, the appliance automatically switches over to keep-warm mode, which maintains an ideal serving temperature without over-cooking. In addition, the unit's see-through glass lid keeps in heat and moisture and makes it possible to check on food without releasing steam, while its dishwasher-safe nonstick cooking pan makes cleanup a snap. Other highlights include "cook" and "warm" indicator lights, steam vents and a condensation catcher, a stay-cool lid knob and side handles for comfortable transport, and a modern-looking design that will look nice on any kitchen counter. A rice scoop that stores on board and a measuring cup come included. The rice cooker measures approximately 10 by 10 by 8 inches and carries a one-year limited warranty.
