I love the panosonic rice cooker, got this rice cooker  for almost 3 years, This is the best rice cooker I ever had,It's small and convenient for 3 to 4 people. I use the rice cooker daily one to two times,i.e morning and evening,the nonstick coating in the rice cooker is like new one,easy to clean, no need to scrub too much.it has a see through lid with a vent for pressure release.so there won't be any spills all over.you get the perfect rice every time, and when the rice is all done the red light goes off.If you leave the plug on for hours there won't be any dry and stiff rice or sticking to the bottom of the pan as we experience in many other rice cookees.you won't regret your decision in buying the rice cooker.I tried several different rice cookers over the years, but this is the best rice cooker I ever had, It comes with a steam basket too, you can steam the vegitables perfectly, you can cook the rice and steam the vegitables at the same ime,but will be able to cook less rice, if you steam at the same time.
