My old shitty rice cooker just blew the fuse in my kitchen when it boiled over and soaked its own power cord adapter.
The fucking thing practically exploded and got ejected out of its plug, which probably saved me from burning down the house.

Does anyone have a recommendation for a decent low to mid-priced rice cooker available in Europe?
Can't see myself shelling out for Zojirushi or some other high-end weeaboo appliance.

Unless you need to make huge amounts of rice, find a stove top rice steamer instead. I have both types of rice cooker and use the stove top steamer most of the time because the results are so much better.

I really like how convenient it is to just switch on the rice cooker and forget about it while I do other things, though.

I said low- to mid-priced, not "stripping me to the bones when she divorces me as soon as she gets pregnant".

That is a shitty design. I use "aroma" it is decent.

A saucepan on a cooktop
unless you live on a japanese apartment where the kitchen consists on a sink, fridge and microwave.

I'm in the US but I have an old National (rebranded Panasonic) and it's wonderful. I'd try to look for similar from the 80s and 90s.

It's not much different from the steamer I use. I don't time the rice at all. I go back and check after a while to see if it is done yet.

I've actually forgotten to check for an hour and boiled all the water out of the bottom, yet the rice in the steamer part was as good as I've seen from the automatic versions.

Now try turning it on and going back to check on it 5 hours later.

If you're that preoccupied with anything else, you shouldn't be cooking.

Rice cookers do the cooking for you.

Go to walmart and get an Aroma branded one, mines good and it was cheap as fuck.

My mom has a National. It works well but it's annoying to clean since rice sticks to the bottom

I've never had that problem, but then again I'm pretty careful with mine.

Yeah, I think she's had that one since before I was born so I have no idea what it was like new.
