It allows you to finish part of a meal with little or no thought. Mine was cheap, but does the job! I’ve had my rice cooker for over 8 years now, and I think every home should have one.

Concerning features, I'd say stick to the simple unless you're going to be making porridge or something. If you're staying with the super simple, Panasonic will do fine as well. Here's a really great rice cooker though.
