Oster Oster 4722 5-Cup Rice Cooker with Steaming Tray, Red Review

I had never owned a rice cooker before this one, and I purchased it last year during a 'Black Friday' sale at Elder-Beerman. The Oster Rice Cooker 4722 performed well for the price point (less than $15 on sale with rebate).  However, the rice on the bottom would get overcooked, sometimes to the point of turning brown or burning. To counteract this problem you must stir it often, which takes away one of the reasons why I purchased a rice cooker in the first place. I bought it so that I could easily cook rice without worrying about stirring it or having it boil over and make a mess. Relating to the mess, another problem with this cooker is that it spews hot sticky water out of the lid and onto the kitchen floor, counter and cabinets. This was easily fixed by placing the unit on a kitchen towel. The major issue I have with this rice cooker is that it broke after only using it about once a week for a year.
