    Love it. The size is perfect and it makes all grains just right. I will never go without my Aroma. Must have. I just made millet and it was perfect. Experiment with different grains!

    Great purchase

    I love this rice cooker so far. I've made Jasmine and yellow rice, and oatmeal in it so far, also used the steamer basket ( broccoli) while cooking the yellow rice. All came out perfectly. The directions can be a little confusing in the book included for measurements. I just went by the directions on the rice package. I did go to YouTube and watched the video, that helped a lot. Very easy to clean. Happy so far.

    Affordable and useful

    Favorite cookware. I love the warm setting that automatically turns on after the rice is cooked. Comes with instructions for different foods and cooking, like rice or veggies. Somehow I still get mushy rice when following the instructions but not always.. I still love this product.

    Improvement over base model

    I replaced a very basic Aroma rice cooker with this one when the non-stickiness of the old one no longer functioned. I like this one better because:- Easier to read the measurement markings on this one- Can set to finish rice at a later time using the timer- Much less steamy rice goop coming out and messing everything up.- Larger capacity, though this is not a big consideration - there are only 3 of us at most- Easier to clean. I don't have to clean the messy glass lid of the other model, just wipe the integrated lid of this one and the edges, and wash the bowl, and empty the condensation coll
