Does this have a timer? does it automatically switch to warm when the rice is done, or do I have to time it myself?

it doesn't have a timer but will automatically switch to warm when the rice is done.

It automatically switches to warm. It is the best rice cooker I have ever owned and I have owned several.

It does switch automatically to warm when the rice is done. From the red light to orange light.

It doesn't have a timer. If you are going to set it to cook and then leave, then you should've put it at the lowest setting and if your meal is not done when you return, then you can raise it to a higher setting until it is done.

Cookign time. I don't believe there's a programmable keep warm time. When cooking rice, if you don't manually stop it when it beeps, the timer will start to increment, it's hard to tell if it is 10 min overcook is 10 min unercook if you were not there when the timer was 0.

The unit has an animated indicator display during the cooking and switches to a countdown timer for the final minutes. When done, it beeps and goes into keep warm mode automatically. The unit cooks based on moisture level remaining so the times vary based on the amount of liquid added and whether you punch the white rice or brown rice button.

We cook our brown rice this way: 1 cup of water in the hopper, two cups of rice in three cups of water in the bowl. At the end of the cycle it's still just a bit too wet, but we pop a lump of butter in at that point, and leave it in the warming mode for 10-20 minutes while cooking the rest of dinner. When it's time to eat, it's perfect.Before this cooker, we had one of the fancy fuzzy-logic computerized cookers. I think this one does a better job, really.

No, it goes into 'warming mode' after it's done cooking. It has a light that indicates when it's cooking and when the rice is done and warming, but you must unplug it to turn it completely off.

Yes, the slow cooker has a timer that can be set to any time you like - once that time is reached, it automatically switches to the "warm" setting.

Yes, if you set the knob on the right to low or high and the knob on the left to whatever length of time you want the food to cook (in full and half hour increments only), once that time is up, it will automatically switch to warm. The knobs don't move (the timer one is a setting, it doesn't move like a clock) but the cook light goes off and the warm light comes on once the time is up.

Yes, I guess you could call it that. When you plug it in to the wall outlet, it's not turned ON. You depress the lever (under the light), it turns ON. After a preset time of cooking (within the unit), the lever trips and the cooker turns OFF. You let the rice continue to "cook" (calrose rice - 20 minutes), but the unit is not turned ON.

No, it does not have a timer to specify the time one wants the rice to be ready. But, what it does have is a nice sized non-coated good quality stainless steel steamer basket and pot which I could not find in any other steamer of the same quality as this one.

Once the rice cooks, you can leave it plugged in, and it will keep warm for up to 12 hours - white rice usually cooks in 20 mins and brown rice in 40 mins. There are different options for cooking rice, soups etc but there is no option for high or low

No timer. It just keeps warm after it has gone through the boil cycle after water has been added. To turn on/off, just plug and unplug... No on/off buttons.

No. The timer is just for the length of cook time and then it switches to a warm setting.

Yes it does. It has a red light that turns green, it clicks and changes to warming (almost off) I always unplug it when it is done so that the rice just finishes steaming without continuing to warm it as that tends to dry it out a bit. But we live at 7000 ft so boiling temp is a lot lower, 199f vs 212f so you may not have that problem.

No timer. Keep warm function is to keep rice warm all the time after it's cooked.

Sorry, we do NOT use the timer. We simply put on cook and it auto cook until done.

I haven't looked into the timer but your best answer might be to contact a warehouse or retailer selling this to make sure of your options, I am very satisfied with this rice cooker. Hope you find your best option.
