Although I'm sure it won't be popular I recommend just a plain old 3.5 Quart Nonstick pot. The reasons:
1. Cookers give you very little control. Maybe you like your rice a little stickier or you want to add some flavorings to the rice as it's cooks.
2. Clean up is easy. It's a pot you throw it in your dishwasher you don't have to worry about it being plastic and melting or what have you.
3. You can find a replacement anywhere. If it breaks(IE nonstick comes off, handle falls off.) it wasn't that expensive to start with and you just run down to the local store and replace it.
It's so simple to cook rice without a rice cooker. The rice cooker might be just a touch faster. But if you put your rice on first it will finish by the time everything else does.
1.25 cups of water for each 1 cup of rice
Bring the water to a boil. Throw in the rice. Let it come back to a boil then turn it down to a simmer. Cover and time for 10 minutes. Then turn off the heat and let it sit for 10 minutes. It will come out every time.
I put a small pat of butter and a pinch of salt in mine personally but that's the plus to using a pot. Most rice cookers don't allow you to add anything but rice.

Answered Question
Mahalo is adding a tip to all questions that don't offer a tip.
Help me choose a new 10-cup rice cooker.
My 4-year old son has Celiac disease -an intolerance to gluten, the protein found in wheat and barley. As a result, we prepare a lot of dishes based on corn and rice. We find it very useful to make a large batch of rice in a 10-cup rice cooker. We've been using an inexpensive Sanyo model EC310. Recently the screw holding on the plastic handle to the glass lid broke off. Also, the nonstick coating on the inner pan tends to flake off and get into the rice. This model has no timer, it just goes to "warm" after finishing cooking and stays there forever, which can cause burned rice on the bottom. I'd like a 10-cup model that can shut off after cooking, and I think I'd like to avoid the nonstick coating that flakes off. My budget is anything under $100. The Sanyo we've been using runs about $30, for comparison. All suggestions welcome!

I don't know much about that particular model, but I can tell you that I recentlt bought my wife a brand new super duper extra deluxe rice cooker. Does she use it? Nope. She just keeps plugging along with her old beat up Sanyo. The main thing, she says, is to rinse the rice twice.

This model can also be found for under $100 online using a simple Google search. I think it is the only model suggested that can TURN OFF after cooking the rice and holding it at warming for a set period of time. All of the pot-style rice cookers just go to "warming" mode and stay there forever, which can burn the bottom layer of rice.

I used to cook rice using a heavy saucepan. The reason I began using a rice cooker is so I don't need to attend it. The process of:
Rinse rice.
Boil water.
Add rice.
Turn down when it boils.
Cover.
Come back in 10 minutes and turn off heat.
Come back in 10 minutes to fluff and serve.
Compared to rice cooker:
Rinse rice, add water and rice to cooker.
Turn it on.
Leave house, go pick up kids at daycare.
Pick up pre-ordered take-out Chinese food on the way home.
Get home, serve, and eat dinner.
That's why I use a rice cooker. Other than that, I'm all for using a heavy saucepan, it just doesn't fit my current needs.

Go for the Zojirushi NHS-18 10-Cup Rice Cooker/Steamer & Warmer. They are tough little appliances that will last a good long time. Further, Zojirushi sells replacement parts for the cookers so you don't get stuck buying a whole new cooker when something finally goes wrong with it.

Doesn't turn off with a timer, reports on Amazon that it burns the bottom layer of rice if you leave it in warming mode. Two things on my hit list that I'm looking to solve.

No auto shutoff timer. The auto-off goes to warmer mode that just stays on. I want something that I can set to turn off after 30 minutes or so, even if I'm not at home.

No timer. Getting a cooker with a timer appears to require a hefty price increase!
