A mid-priced cooker with a 3.2 qt capacity and 700W output, but a 3.7-star rating across 370 reviews raises real questions about consistency. Shoppers at this price point have better-rated options available.
Buyers who specifically want the Cook With Color brand aesthetic in black and are willing to accept a lower average rating in exchange for the styling.

The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less. The bars below show where this model stands against the other slow cookers, electric pressure and rice cookers, sous vide, food dehydrators, egg cookers, popcorn poppers, and ice cream and shaved ice machines we track in this category on price, popularity and size. Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
The Cook With Color WGRC1 BLK is a 3.2 qt rice cooker built from ABS plastic in black, running 700W on a 110V circuit. It measures 11 x 10.5 x 9.5 inches and weighs 6.61 lb. The capacity lands in the middle ground, large enough for a family of three to four depending on portion sizes.
The sticking point for this model is the rating. At 3.7 stars across 370 reviews, it falls below the threshold where most buyers would feel confident. At $84.99, you are well into the range where established brands like Cosori and Hamilton Beach offer demonstrably higher satisfaction scores at comparable or lower prices. The ABS plastic construction also contrasts with the stainless steel and ceramic options available at similar price levels.
Cook With Color is primarily a style-forward brand, and buyers who love the aesthetic may find the tradeoff acceptable. Everyone else should compare carefully before committing to this price. Contact hello@alluringdeals.com with any questions.
Performance notes
The 700W element should handle standard white rice in a 3.2 qt pot with reasonable speed. However, the lower-than-average buyer rating suggests some buyers encounter inconsistent results or durability concerns that are not apparent from specs alone.
What buyers say
370 reviews at 3.7 stars is a meaningful signal of mixed satisfaction. Positive reviews cite the look and size, while critical reviews cluster around cook consistency and build durability. The pattern suggests this cooker works well for some buyers and disappoints others.

Why is the rating lower than other rice cookers at this price?
Buyer feedback across 370 reviews suggests some consistency issues with cooking results and durability over time. The 3.7-star average is notably below the 4.2 to 4.5 range seen in better-reviewed competitors at similar prices.
What is ABS plastic and is it safe for a rice cooker body?
ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) is a common engineering plastic used in appliance housings. It does not contact food directly, so safety is not a concern. The trade-off compared to stainless steel is that it feels less premium and may be less resistant to heat damage on the exterior over time.
