I like it because it is simple, easy to clean, and doesn't require much in the way of a learning curve. I understand it is the new Dorm cooker, because it is easier to hide than a microwave. So far, I've used it for some steaming of vegetables, some of the one box soup things, grits (not recommended), rice, and oatmeal. If you Google Rice cooker recipes, you'll find a wealth of recipes.
