 works great March 13, 2010
Y. Wang
I'm amazed at how this product actually lived up to its reputation. The capacity really saves me time. When I cook rice, the water never overflows or leaves a large mess. The pan is easy to clean. The lid is designed in such a way that the water condensed on it flows into a little water container at the side for easy disposable.
The only downside I noticed was that the lid can't be removed, so cleaning it is a bit harder than usual, but that's not a huge deal.
I would definitely recommend this rice cooker to everyone.
A cost-effective product March 12, 2010

It is a good product, easy to use and quite stable.
I would recommend it, especailly considering its price.
Good product for the price March 10, 2010

Had it for a month now. Switched from a Rival glass lid model and now the splatter is gone. Haven't used the delayed timer function yet. Beep on completion is good and looks elegant too. Like the drip collecting pouch on the side.
Cleaning the lid is a little cumbersome since the top lid does not separate from the base but that is not a biggie, just wipe with a paper towel. I don't think it is a good idea to steam veggies when cooking rice, the veggies get coated with rice paste when it boils over it.

PROS:
Cheap
Cooks rice, including brown rice
One-button operation
Attractive design
Inner pan is removable
Quality of cooked rice is good as long as you remove it immediately
CONS:
Cord too short
End of cooking alert signal sounds like a smoke detector
Blows steam out the top and warps cabinets
Keeps rice warm, but actually cooks it onto the side of the inner pan after an hour or so
Inner pan is NOT DISHWASHER SAFE and a pain to clean with baked-on burnt rice effluent on it
If I had to make this decision again, I would buy a better rice cooker. This one is cheap, and I love the convenience, but I am disappointed with its performance.
Fantastic cooker March 2, 2010
Stein (AR)
I fix quite a lot of rice and just got tired of watching rice cook in a standard pot. I decided to look at rice cookers and did a lot of research and looking at reviews. I picked this Aroma model. I love it. Put everything in and hit the on button and it comes out perfect every time without having to check it to see how it is doing. Fantastic product.
