TATUNG TRC-8DC Direct Heat 8 Cups (Uncooked) Electric Rice Cooker

Pros: 1) - First unit was DOA. 2) - Second unit arrived in 100% working condition. This rice cooker does a great job with "White" rice. 3) - Price/Performance, this unit is just fine.

Cons: Does not do well cooking "Brown" rice. IMO--It's a 3 cup (uncooked) rice maximum unit.

Overall Review: It does the job well with "White" rice. If you are not a fan of "Brown" rice, this cooker will do well for you.

Pros: None

Cons: Low quality. Not working out of the box. The inner pot was misaligned. Adjusted and worked fine. 2 weeks later, the "keep warm" coil gave zero resistance with my multimeter. 5 weeks later, the "main coil" followed. Newegg will charge $16 for RMA and return shipping. I threw mine away. You should not buy this cooker.

Overall Review: I expect something better than junk from Tatung but this cooker prove me wrong

Pros: Cooks rice.

Cons: Sprays rice starch everywhere via the convenient rice starch sprayer feature on the top of the cooker (also known as the "vent").

Overall Review: Worst rice cooker I have EVER owned. When making any kind of rice in any reasonable quantity, the rice starch bubbles up and is spewed in a fine mist through the top vent, saturating your countertops and cabinets while creating a reservoir of boiling hot rice starch on the lid to burn your fingers when you open the top. This, in addition to the complete lack of features and flimsy construction, make this a rice cooker to avoid at any price.

Pros: Compact, well-made, non-stick bowl, comes with a grounded plug, double walled (cool exterior), makes rice properly.

Cons: Inner bowl feels a little thin, but shouldn't be a major issue under normal use.

Pros: Cheap, cooked well when worked.

Cons: Poor QC.

Overall Review: Got this product in end of May, worked nicely until last night when it just stopped working. Power was plugged in but no lights on, thought it was just the lights but tested again found no power at all. I was shocked that Tatung has such poor quality product. Currently in the process of getting the RMA from Tatung to send back for repair under warranty.

Pros: $20 after code

Cons: These is a significant dent on the exterior. The shipment box is good, so I believe it is not shipping damage. The manufacture should do more inspection for the products. I tried to file a RMA, but the shipping fee is $16.42 which almost equals to the price. Therefore, I will keep it anyway.

Pros: worked nice when it worked.

Cons: died after 5 months

Pros: I bought it just one month，it suddenly broken in a afternoon.

Cons: I really don't recommend this cooker
