What customers say about "Key Specs"
Sunbeam 4710
- It is a smaller capacity than I've ever owned before, but I like it. I recommend the optional steamer basket.
- Very easy to use, steams fast, simple to clean up, engineered and designed very well.
- A nice, solid, high-end steamer. Goes from zero to steam in 30 seconds and cooks evenly.
- A very nicely made steamer that doesn't utilize plastic in the direct cooking areas.
- It cooks rice very well, but the capacity is small and misrepresented.
Oster 004722-000-000 Rice Cooker with Steamer
- It is very small BUT cooks enough brown rice for 8 to 10 people AND it cooks it perfectly !!!
- I'I love this little cooker! I don't eat rice, so I've only used the vegetable steamer.
- Rice cooker worked very well when only using 1 or 2 cups of rice. When filled to capacity the water tend to boil over. Would definitely recommend this rice cooker.
- I like the steamer tray and how it sits.
- I like that the pot and tray are dishwasher safe.
- I used it to cook rice twice & it no longer works. I thought it was my outlet that didn't have power
- The power cord is a little on the short side, but it wasn't a drawback for me.

What customers say about "Features"
Sunbeam 4710
- I've had this steamer for about a month and I really like it so far. It is easy to use and to clean.
- The pros are that this is VERY convenient and easy to clean.
- Clean up is super easy too! Generally it's just a bowl, like any bowl you might use in the oven, the lid that's glass, and the metal tray the food sits on.
- Super easy to clean and a nice large water resivoir so I don't need to refill with every use as I steam my food at least twice a day.
- The power cord was short, and notably stiff and unwieldy, and I felt compelled to replace it with a better quality item.
Oster 004722-000-000 Rice Cooker with Steamer
- The electric cord is a bit shorter than expected approximately 12 inches however the rice cooker fits easily on any kitchen counter top or shelve.
- Measuring cups that come with it aren't a real measuring standard. Use 1 cup of rice and 2 cups of water and you're in business
- The classic plastic paddle and measuring cup are as expected.
- My only real complaint is that there is no on/off switch, you have to rely on plugging and unplugging the cord.
- There is no hook or holder for the rice paddle like there often is on these machines
