Reishunger Mini: the most compact rice cooker for the 1-person kitchen

Prices in euros from Amazon.de, as of 11 June 2026. Prices and availability may differ on Amazon.co.uk.

By Seydhan Cakmak · Editor-in-chief · Updated: · AI-translated from the German original

Most “single” rice cookers hold 0.8 or 1.2 litres, which for one person is often already more than needed. The Reishunger Mini goes the opposite way: with an inner pot of just 0.3 litres it is the most compact rice cooker in the comparison, made for a single portion and the really small kitchen, the student room or the office. It takes up hardly any space, cooks on an economical 120 watts and is operated with a single button: switch it on, and as soon as the rice is ready it switches to keep-warm by itself. The inner pot is ceramic-coated and removable, and a measuring cup and rice paddle are included. Honestly, you should know the limits: 0.3 litres realistically suffice for one, at most two small portions; the basic model has no steaming insert (Reishunger sells it separately); and the keep-warm function keeps the rice more lukewarm than hot. But if you are looking for exactly one tiny rice cooker for one person, you get the matching appliance from a rice specialist brand here.

Reishunger Mini: what works, what doesn't?

What works well

  • Most compact in the comparison: only 0.3 L, fits in the smallest kitchen
  • True 1-person size: cooks one portion without being oversized
  • Economical 120 W: low consumption for small quantities
  • Ceramic inner pot: removable and easy to clean
  • One-touch with keep-warm: switch on, done, it switches over by itself

Points of criticism

  • Very small (0.3 L): realistically only 1 to 2 small portions, no reserve
  • No steaming insert: basic model without a steaming basket (available separately)
  • Keep-warm only lukewarm: does not keep the rice hot over a longer period

What does it cost to run?

At a maximum of 120 W power draw, an hour of use at 35 ct/kWh (German electricity price) costs about 4 cents. That applies at full load; real cooking and working cycles usually run lower.

Calculation basis: 35 ct/kWh (German electricity price, 2026, rounded). Values from the manufacturer data sheet; actual costs depend on use and tariff.

Build quality & everyday use

What carries the Reishunger Mini in everyday use: Most compact in the comparison (only 0.3 L, fits in the smallest kitchen) and True 1-person size (cooks one portion without being oversized). We have to be honest about the weaknesses: very small (0.3 L), since realistically it manages only 1 to 2 small portions, no reserve.

If you set the device up to save space, make sure it stands on a stable, level surface with some air around it. This protects the mechanics and electronics in continuous use.

“Reishunger Mini Rice Cooker (0.3 L): most compact in the comparison and true 1-person size, and the trade-off is being very small (0.3 L). At 7.6/10 a fair deal from €40.”

Frequently asked questions about the Reishunger Mini

Who is a 0.3 litre rice cooker worth it for?
For absolute single households, student rooms, offices or as a second appliance, if you regularly cook exactly one portion of rice and have as little space as possible. The Reishunger Mini is the most compact in the comparison. If you sometimes cook for two, like leftovers or want to steam vegetables alongside, you are better served by a 0.8 litre appliance (Russell Hobbs).
Does the Reishunger Mini have a steaming insert?
The basic model does not, unlike the larger Reishunger 1.2 L or the Russell Hobbs, which come with a steaming insert. Reishunger offers a matching steaming insert separately. If you want to cook rice and vegetables at the same time from the start, you should go straight for a model with an included insert.
How many portions does the Reishunger Mini make?
Realistically one, at most two small portions. The 0.3 litres refer to the inner pot, and the minimum and maximum fill levels are correspondingly low. For one person at lunch or dinner that is plenty. For two full portions or batch cooking the appliance is too small.
Is the Reishunger Mini worth its price?
At around 40 euros it is more expensive than the much larger Russell Hobbs (from €18), but you get the most compact design and the rice specialist brand. Criticisms are mainly the merely lukewarm keep-warm function and the small capacity. If maximum compactness for one person matters more to you than volume and price, it is worth it.
