The Xiaomi Multifunctional Rice Cooker (model MFB05M0-1) is a small cooker for one or two people. The 1.5-litre figure is its rated water capacity; the rated rice capacity is 0.48 litres, which Xiaomi translates into one to three cups of uncooked rice and up to six bowls of cooked rice. Its headline is speed: on the ultra-fast setting, one cup of rice (about two bowls) is ready in roughly 30 minutes in Xiaomi’s internal tests, with time adjusting automatically for larger amounts. It draws 320–380W on 220–240V and measures 196 × 221 × 181 mm.

What 1.5 litres means in practice
Xiaomi lists two capacities side by side: 1.5 L of water and 0.48 L of rice. The second number is the one that decides who it suits. One to three cups of raw rice gives up to six bowls, which covers a single person, a couple or a small household meal. For a family dinner for five or six, or for large batch cooking, the Xiaomi Multifunctional Rice Cooker is too small. The upside is its footprint: at 196 × 221 × 181 mm it fits a studio kitchen, a shared apartment or a shelf in an office pantry.
The 30-minute figure and its condition
The 30-minute claim applies to the ultra-fast rice setting with one cup of rice, yielding about two bowls, based on Xiaomi Internal Labs data. Add a second or third cup and the cooker automatically extends the time, and Xiaomi notes that results vary with conditions and ingredients. In practice this means quick rice on a weekday evening when cooking for one or two, rather than a fixed 30 minutes for a full pot. Xiaomi does not publish a time for a full three-cup load or for the regular setting.
Two temperature sensors against boil-over
The Xiaomi Multifunctional Rice Cooker has an upper and a lower temperature sensor. They monitor the cooking temperature and adjust power automatically to stop starchy water boiling over the rim, a common mess with simple single-sensor cookers. The inner pot is aluminium alloy with a food-grade non-stick coating, which Xiaomi says keeps rice and porridge from sticking to the base. Xiaomi warns to use only the dedicated inner pot, and only if it is not deformed, to avoid overheating.
Scheduling, keep-warm and controls
You can schedule a meal up to 24 hours ahead, so rice is ready when you come home or wake up, and a keep-warm function holds the temperature after cooking ends; Xiaomi does not give a maximum keep-warm duration. Controls sit on top on a glass touch panel that Xiaomi describes as scratch-resistant and easy to wipe. The lid opens with one press, keeping your hand away from the steam. Xiaomi does not mention app control for this model, and the page does not list a full menu of cooking modes beyond quick rice and keep-warm.
Cleaning and placement
The inner pot rinses easily, the inner lid detaches for washing, and the steam valve can be removed for thorough cleaning. Xiaomi advises cleaning the body only with a soft cloth, never immersing or drenching the appliance, and avoiding steel wool or abrasive cleaners. Because of steam and heat, keep the Xiaomi Multifunctional Rice Cooker at least 30 cm from walls and furniture, which matters under wall cabinets. In the box you get the cooker, a rice paddle, a measuring cup and a power cord.
Who This Is Not For
The Xiaomi Multifunctional Rice Cooker is not for families who cook more than three cups of rice at a time, since the rated rice capacity is 0.48 L. The 30-minute time applies only to one cup on the ultra-fast setting. It has no app control, Xiaomi does not publish a full mode list, a keep-warm limit or a net weight, and it needs 30 cm of clearance from walls and cabinets. The body must never be immersed in water, and Xiaomi does not state that any part is dishwasher-safe.
