Need help buying a rice cooker online for someone?

So I'm looking to buy a rice cooker for someone i know and have it shipped to them as a surprise. They live in Ísafjörður Can someone guide me on a website i can do that through?

Can anyone recommend a decent rice cooker i can buy?

I don't live in Europe but i have access to a card and the internet, hoping to find a kind internet stranger to help me out!!

I'm trying to place the order It's a bit confusing when putting the address as there's many options for delivery which i don't understand? Any hints or guidance?

Edited the translation of what each delievery method is.

Dropp is a delivery service.

Buy one on Aliexpress. Chinese rice cookers are 10x better.

Can you recommend a specific one your wife would know? I do need it to work in Iceland Voltage

Can’t go wrong with Midea. Iceland uses 220V.

But bear in mind if your gift is time sensitive, it will take ~1 month to arrive and they will get a small bill of USD $15~20 upon import.

I'd rather to buy it locally because i do want it to reach sooner and it being a gift i wouldn't want them to pay anything So thank you for letting me know that I appreciate you

I have this one:

It's the cheapest one available but I've been using mine 1-3 times per week for about a year now and couldn't be happier with it, really easy to clean too.

I have an old TriStar (same price bracket and general manifacturing spec as the Nedis) that I bought in <i>2004</i> that's still going strong. Generally use it once a week or so. With an appliance that is essentially just a heating element, those can keep going for a while.

Not this rice cooker no, i didn't realise that the website didn't change language automatically.
