My only regret is that I didn't know of this product sooner.
Pros:
It's difficult to eat healthy while making time for work, leisure and rest. Eating out a few nights a week gets expensive very fast. This little, red angel will put those worries behind. I was hesitant on purchasing this product. As the old saying goes, "you get what you pay for." This rice cooker will possibly save you hundreds of dollars through out the year with quick, healthy, inexpensive dinners you can make. If you're single, this is the answer to all of your cooking woes.
Size - The cooker has a small footprint that you can set on any counter top, or table. You can leave it there without worry of taking up too much space, or burning what's underneath. For it's size it can make an amazingly large amount of food for one person.
Cooking - The food is cooked quickly with little effort. Due to only water being used, the lean meats and vegetables are cooked with no worries of needing to add oils or cooking grease. With the cup the cooker comes with, one cup of brown rice serves me two meals. My meals consist of rice mixed in with vegetables such as squash to give it flavor, and 3-4 chicken thighs that I place on the cooking pan. I prefer to mix in the rice with the vegetables so I can have more space to cook more meat. The meat is steam cooked, so it's healthy and when you mix it in with the rice and squash it gives it a bit of flavor without needing spices. Both the rice and meat are cooked simultaneously with no issues. Everything is done in over an hour, and I stir it once or twice.
Hardware and maintenance - The steamer itself is sturdy, and cools down quickly. With one button to push makes it feel like I'm cheating when it's cooking. No food or water should spill on it, so keeping it clean is an after thought. Cleaning the cooking pot, pan, lid and spoon takes about five minutes with soap and water. No need to put it in a dish washer since it's almost trivial to clean. Again, because I don't use oils to cook it's incredibly simple to maintain. The build quality is sturdy and thick.
Cons:
The only two cons I've found are so trivial that they're barely worth mentioning due to the price and performance this little beast puts out. The aluminum pan that cooks the meat has flimsy handles (this is a common problem with a lot of cook ware). You can feel the screws used were too short and will sooner or later break from the pan. Nothing that two screws and a small handle from an old pot won't fix. The power cord is quite short (about a foot long) and you will need an outlet that's nearby if you prefer a clean station without extension cords. Again, for the price and performance these two cons are barely worth mentioning and I think the product deserves the 5 stars.
Note: The aluminum pan is very thin. Be careful if you use any acid based flavoring such as lemon juice. It will eat through the pan, but it's acidic, so you can't put blame on the pan.
Summary: I'm extremely happy with this product, and the fact that it's under $20 makes it feel like I made out like a bandit. Easy to make, healthy food for single workaholics and college kids. Enjoy!

Makes perfect white rice,,,one caveat
I lost the bowl to my $200 rice cooker so purchased this $20 one as I was in a pinch. It makes perfect white rice ! I would say just as good (if not better) then the $200 rice cooker. One caveat: the cup it comes with is 3/4 which is odd. I used my 1 cup rice cup and it is much easier !
