The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less.

Overview
The Tiger JBV-S10U sits in the mid-size compact category with a 1.4 qt capacity and a white stainless steel finish. At 6.61 lb it is heavier than other machines in this size range, which gives it a sturdy feel on the countertop. It runs on 115 volts, so it works on any standard US outlet without a voltage converter.
At $119 this is not a budget pick, but Tiger has a long track record in rice cookers and the 4.3-star rating from 136 buyers suggests consistent results. The stainless steel build and compact dimensions (10.6 x 13.9 x 8.4 in) make it easy to store.
The review count is still relatively modest, so there is less crowd-sourced feedback to draw from compared to some competitors at this price. Buyers who value brand reliability over feature count tend to be happy with this cooker.
Performance notes
Capacity is 1.4 qt, suited for one to two servings per cook. The unit weighs 6.61 lb, which is on the heavier side for its size but adds countertop stability. Dimensions are 10.6 x 13.9 x 8.4 in. Voltage is 115 V, compatible with standard US wall outlets. Wattage is not published, so direct power comparisons are not possible.
What buyers say
With 136 reviews and a 4.3-star average, buyer sentiment is positive. Reviewers appear to appreciate the compact size and Tiger's reputation. The sample size is small enough that a handful of negative experiences could shift the average, so the rating should be read with that context.
