This is a very small 6 cup cooker. The product name says 3.3 cup, but actually cooks up to 6 cups. And, 6 cup actually serves about 6~8 people, which serves for all purposes. Simple and nice. As like all other rice cookers, always use a sponge to cleat the pot. This is the cooker to buy. Don't waste your money off $300 fancy looking rice cookers (which offers a pre-set when to start timer, but nothing more)!
