Does this model have a timer for the rice? ie tell the time until done?

There is a white rice button and a brown rice button... both timed perfectly. Just hit the button and when done, it automatically switches to Keep Warm. I love it!

The unit has an animated indicator display during the cooking and switches to a countdown timer for the final minutes. When done, it beeps and goes into keep warm mode automatically. The unit cooks based on moisture level remaining so the times vary based on the amount of liquid added and whether you punch the white rice or brown rice button.

(Assuming this is the same model I bought...) The first part of the cook cycle (bringing it to a boil, I imagine) doesn't exactly have a timer, but it is more of a loading symbol. Then after it has been heated all the way, a countdown begins as to when all the water is absorbed. I can attest that the times are indeed different depending on how much you put in it. The beep it made when it was finished scared the crap out of me the first time though! It's really loud. Hope this helped!

Yes it does. It has a red light that turns green, it clicks and changes to warming (almost off) I always unplug it when it is done so that the rice just finishes steaming without continuing to warm it as that tends to dry it out a bit. But we live at 7000 ft so boiling temp is a lot lower, 199f vs 212f so you may not have that problem.

Yes you can set a timer on this model. Very simple push menu and timer on and off and set the time

No, this model does not have an On timer. It does have an automatic shutoff for when its been on too long, or gets too hot. I hope this answer helps!

I haven't looked into the timer but your best answer might be to contact a warehouse or retailer selling this to make sure of your options, I am very satisfied with this rice cooker. Hope you find your best option.

Mine does not but I sure wish that it did. Other than that I am very pleased with this rice cooker.

It doesn't have a timer. If you are going to set it to cook and then leave, then you should've put it at the lowest setting and if your meal is not done when you return, then you can raise it to a higher setting until it is done.

I think the programmable features and sensors and logic that turns it to warming mode when the rice is done. The downside with the expensive machines is that the cooking is slower and longer. 90 minutes or more for brown rice, so you need to be someone who plans ahead/is organized.

Yes by using the stove function. You put your water and rice in, cover it, set the timer and you'll have perfect rice.

It only remembers the last setting you put it to. This unit does not have a timer I believe. It just has an alarm for your target temp. Hope this helps

No, you just have to check on your food. You can always set another timer in your kitchen, like the one on many stoves.

No, there is no timer on mine. (Sorry for the slow response! I've been away.) -

Yes, it does have a timer and also a notch where it will just run continuously until you turn it off. As Kevin mentions below variables in foods and their moisture content sort of makes it hard to judge how long any given job will take, so it's sort of like chrome on an automobile - Nice but not really necessary.

Yes, and it has a smart chip meaning it won't burn the rice like other rice cookers do when you leave it on warm setting for too long. Hope this helps :0)

we just got one and noted it does have a timer setting you can use, but we are using the smart alert setting. Pleased with it so far and night get another. Bought ours through Sams club

No, it doesn't have that kind of timer. You can time it to turn itself off - not on.

It's not exactly a timer as in one you set but the cooker knows when the rice is done and turns itself off. I think it knows by how much water is in it because if you do brown rice you need to use more water and it cooks longer.
