Bought this as a gift for my mother. It's fantastic. It's compact, easy to use and makes great rice every time. It's also very easy to clean. The ability to preset your food to cook hours ahead of time is also a great feature. I will probably be buying one of these for myself.

Works as advertised, but have only used it twice. Rice not as I expected, came out soft & mushy, will keep trying with different brands of rice, might have better results.

This rice cooker is very small and very effective at what it does. Heats up and cooks rice fast and easy to store. I am a bit concerned on its durability and longevity. There's extensive use of lightweight plastic for the lid and that's what I am mostly concerned with. There is a bit of play at the lid/hinge so the latch on the lid and the locking slot does not align well. You have to guide the lid down and close it with firm pressure. Just an observation to note that the future of small appliances is extensive use of cheap plastics and with larger gaps. So far though, it's is a great little rice cooker. I would also like to comment that in comparison to the larger 12Cup that I also purchased, the price for this one may be a bit high but that's just my opinion.

I have been using this Aroma Cooker to make soup and it works like a charm. I haven't tried for rice yet, but I have high expectations. Make sure you use the level guidelines as overfilling with liquid will ooze out from the top. Overall, an easy, simple and convenient use. Cleaning is a breeze and I also like that you can keep the food warm. This particular one is small, so excellent for a couple of people. If there are leftovers, I simply transfer the inside bowl to the refrigerator. I use a small lid from another pot and there. you have food for another day. There are larger models for a larger family. I highly recommend this for up to a couple of people.

Good day, It got great reviews so I bought it, it is not as simple as a rice steamer, it is more like a crock pot/steamer with a solid metal bowl instead of a slatted steamer. I scorched mine the first two times I used it, and the rice was not cooked properly either time. However if you use it to cook a more mixed meal and open it often to stir it scorches less. Cleaning is a horror, it has what appears to be a Teflon coating. So only a soft sponge can be used, which means lots of soaking and wiping. Ours also arrived in a damaged INNER box, meaning it was damaged BEFORE packaging. Our inner bowl has an off sided circular mark from the damage no doubt as well as two small dings like a pen tip. I fully expect that the Teflon like coating will peel from at least the larger of these pin points. There are online recipe books, I have downloaded one of these and the other 2 would not DL, my GF and I got into an argument over this since we have both wanted a good rice steamer for years, (I had one earlier), and we both thought this would be a good idea. But, it was my due diligence that picked this 8Qt when I could not find the 6Qt we had originally agreed upon :( and the 6Qt recipes from the show we saw it on will not work w/ 8Qt w/o a slide rule :P . Anygoogle, I suggest you immediately wash then season/lubricate the inner bowl before use with Crisco. Just before use rinse, wipe and add your favorite lubrication, be it oil or butter to the insides and bottom. Use a strainer to rinse rice/pasta/beans etc BEFORE you put them into unit bowl. I rinsed all starches and still had sticking-scorching issues even with more lubrication than normal. Using the Crisco made it a bit easier to clean than veg oil or butter. Please use care when cleaning. Examine your box carefully. Open boxes on vid-camera or take sequential photos to show any internal damage, I was at the door when it arrived and my GF missed this step. Before you test it as I did examine the bottom of the interior cooking pot, the entire heating section, the lid and the inner pot lid seal, (which pulls off the hinge lid pin for cleaning with a gentle pressure), and inspect for anything that is not 100%. Have plain sponges on hand, do not use anything with an abrasive side or any abrasive cleansers. #1 they will scratch, ruining seals, #2 they will stain the aluminum in some cases, #3 they will destroy the teflonish coating inside the cooking bowl. That is the most of it, It will cook far more than rice, I did steak slips on the third try, I used butter in the bottom of the rice to help stop the scorching, no difference. I also cooked raw shrimp in there in the upper basket which came out delicious. Hopefully practice will help stop scorching. Try to get the recipe books online. Google the cooker and recipe books. Thank you for your time.Read full review

This product had great reviews, and I am one of those folk who felt that a rice cooker is a waste of money. Not anymore, it is worth the money. Especially since it cooks brown rice, now brown rice is easy to prepare.

This is my third Aroma. We eat rice or some type of grain almost daily. First Aroma went to my college son, he took it with him and how can I say no. Second one I accidentally destroyed when I cooked the rice without inserting the removable pot first! Dont do that!! Now I'm on my third. I love it. Super easy to use, all types of rice cook perfectly at any quantity. Steaming veggies as rice cooks is an added bonus. Cooks quinoa, spelt, couscous, lentils... its a great appliance for us vegetarians!

I heard on a Radio program that this Rice Cooker beat out many of the very expensive models and it proved correct. Best Brown Rice I have cooked! If it cooks brown rice that well you know that white rice would be great too.

Honest Ad, Thank You For Posting This, I had given mine to a fella that needed it badly and had no way to cook for himself, and was very hungry, so this gave me a chance to replace that one at a fair price. Thanks again.

I have had Japanese rice cookers, each lasting for years. All of them as they should. The only stainless steel on this thing is the outer pot. Add a little too much water as I did on the second use, and it sputtered all over the counter, and collected in the well on the lid. Not worth returning.The clean up is horrible. A rubber gasket around the inside of the lid could be a breeding ground for bacteria. And what's worse? To give it a good cleaning, the lid needs to be completely disassembled, cleaned and put back together again. This brand also has a stainless steel pot with a see through lid and resembles the other cookers I've had. My sister and I each ordered one. I will be donating this one.
