IMO, rice cookers are a waste of money and (more importantly) space. Rice is way too easy to cook to justify haveing a one-dimensional piece of equipment to cook it. Until the glass lid broke, I made all my rice in the microwave using corningware. Bring the water to a boil, add the rice, cover and set it for 20-25 min on medium. Now I use a medium sized pot. I actually preferred the way the microwave cooked it but it's nice to have it free using the pot.
Before you spend a bunch of money give the microwave a shot.
