 Love the convenienceAug 08, 2009
By David N.
I was curious to see whether this would really be a convenience or if I was just wasting money on a "gimmick." But I love this dispenser, and it really does make it easier and less messy than storing rice in the bag or in a tupperware type container. Another reviewer complained that it does not dispense a proper cup measure, but the measure is actually set for one Japanese cup of rice. It is slightly smaller than an English/American cup, but the measure is in fact, perfectly suited for a rice maker. So, it is convenient for me because I can just depress the button a couple of times to dispense an appropriate measure of rice, dump it into my rice maker, add water to the appropriate fill line on the rice maker, and not really have to measure anything. It comes out right each time.

 Performs Roughly as advertisedDec 09, 2008
By ToolTutor
"Fong"
My main intention for this purchase was a result of an infestation of weevils in my existing rice container (steel trash can) even though I've used it for over 10 years without any issues. I wanted a more bugproof enclosure for storing rice.
The product performed poorly. The top lid feels cheap and does not close airtight. There are no seals or latches, it simply rests on top. My $4 IKEA candy jar has a better seal. The 150g dispenser is not accurate. It can be off by as much as 1/3 a cup and depends on how long I hold the button down. Very disappointing.
The photo here is inaccurate as it is a Very off white colored, reminscent of 80's style appliances and reminds me of white products that have yellowed from time and sun exposure. The dispensing button is loose and rattles in place. The receiver cup sticks to rice even after being washed and dried.
It will do as advertised, hold (I dumped a full 25 lb bag in) and dispense rice but unless you have a "rice bug" problem, there's no reason to trouble yourself with this inaccurate, rather clumsy dispenser or any dispenser when any plastic container will do.
Should you decide to try it out anyway and get that email from Air & Water about a survey for $25 off your next order, you'll find out after you fill it out that it only applies to $200+ purchase.

A very good rice dispenserMar 31, 2010
By Kyar Kano
When I bought this about two months ago, I was completely new to the idea of storing and cooking up rice and it turned out to be exactly what I was looking for. I had tried a different brand first and it arrived broken, so I went with the Sunpentown instead. I think dispensers are pretty basic to begin with and this one met all my needs: the capacity to buy a 20 pound bag of rice and pour it all inside, a removable top window-panel to make loading the rice easy (being able to see the level of the rice inside being an added bonus), one cup dispenser lever that drops the rice into the removable tray, adequate space to reach into the lower tray section when I want to clean, and of course it is a basic sealed container to keep bugs out (read about other people having bug problems, wanted to be on the safe side). On initially loading the dispenser with rice, around fifty to a hundred grains somehow got through to the bottom section, but once loaded they only drop into the tray when pressing the lever. I would definitely recommend the Sunpentown dispenser to anyone.

Good ConstructionOct 31, 2008
By Mitchell V. Bushin
"Sailer/Atty"
The rice dispenser arrived very quickly, in about three days from placing the order. We have been using it for about a month now and it works flawlessly. All the parts fit together well and it delivers a single cup exactly every time.
So far it has been bug proof. We have moths that seem to get into everything. I have a one gallon glass preserves jar I keep my flour in, the other day I looked and there were moths flying around inside the locked preserves jar and grubs crawling in the flour. If the bugs get into the rice dispenser, I will update my review.

Very good!!Feb 22, 2011
By JJ
I love my rice dispenser. Delivery was quick. I was worried that the reviews mentioned the cup is smaller than the regular cup. Well it is fine when I measured with the cup I normally used, and rice cooked turns out just perfectly fine as usual. As for the design I like it too, you can tell right away when you need to refill it and also, it looks so much better and neat compare with a whole rice sack in your kitchen. Thank you Sunpentown.
