Product Description
Color: Black
Take the guesswork out of making rice with this rice cooker and food steamer from Aroma. It cooks up to 6 cups of moist, fluffy rice and can simultaneously steam vegetables and meats for easy, all-in-one meals. It automatically switches to warming mode when cooking is finished, keeping food warm until ready to serve. You can even cook jambalayas, soups and stews! The break-resistant tempered glass lid allows you to monitor rice without releasing steam, so your food is cooked to perfection every time. And the nonstick inner pot makes cleanup a breeze.

Looks nice. Glad i got it. I have a 7/14 cup Aroma cooker for more than a year that im very pleased with but needed something smaller.
Works great.
Only caveats ive learned is that
a) you cant cook 3 cups of "real" basmati type rice without it reaching lid. I turned the steamer upside down and put lid on that as temporary measure. Rice came out just fine, but you cant easily stir it after it goes to warm mode to fluff it up while it cools down/cooks more because its reached the top of pot.
b) you must absolutely rinse out the rice a couple times so the water is near clear so you dont get all that froth. (guess all the complaining about spilling is about that. i cheated once and didnt rinse... ofcourse it says this in manual.
Cooks rice great, easy to clean, looks very nice and its tiny.
Also, Aroma sells replacement parts unlike other manufactures. (including the non-stick inner pot) ( $6 each, i already ordered two to put in storage for when i drop/scratch them)

This is a nice, basic rice cooker. I've wanted to get a rice cooker for some time but debated what size and model to get. The size is perfect for one or two people, and the steamer addition allows you to prep veggies and other foods to complement your meal. I've been able to cook other grains and beans like quinoa and lentils, respectively, with great results. One word of advice: make sure to use the cooker in an open area to quickly clean up water splatters and to avoid steam from potentially damaging kitchen cabinets.

I recently purchased this and I must say it is perfection. I have never had a problem with "boiling over", "spewing" or "sticking". I like it so much I plan on buying a larger one! Hint: Do not put so much water in the bottom and it will never "boil over". also, a little spray in the bottom may help. HOpe this helps.

For the price, the way it looks and the way it works, it is awesome. I live in the dorms, and i don't need a huge rice cooker, it's me and usualy a couple friends. Its enough for all of us... and it has an awesome steamer that i have yet to use, but it looks pretty legit. I come from a family that eats rice with every meal. This is the best purhase i have made all year!

This is a great rice cooker? i have no messy spills like so many people are claiming to have? it looks very well constructed? i recoment it if you live in a small house hold. i just cook for my self but its large enough to cook rice for me and my guest without having to make a second batch? looks sylish, performs as advertised, good price.. what else is important?
I read someones complaint that steam came out of the top of this cooker and they demanded that no one else buy it?? that seems so odd to me (for lack of a better term) this IS a rice cooker NOT a crock pot? if the steam does NOT escape then the excess water would never leave the pot after your rice is cooked then you would have rice flavored goop? So if you never had a rice cooker before and this is your first one then know this, during the last few minutes of cooking the VERY TINY hole in the top of the glass will vent the steam from excess water after your rice is full cooked.

I had a cheap one of these I purchased at Walmart a few years ago that had a metal canister to cook the rice in and it stuck every time. I decided to get one of these with the non-stick canister and hey I even got a steamer! I don't write long reviews telling you all about it pros and cons. I'll say this, it's a great little rice cooker for the money and I would def recommend it to someone else.

I received this rice cooker as a present, and I love it! It cooks the rice perfectly and steams the vegetables well. I have not tried to cook meat it in, as I am a vegetarian, but it works great for what I need. I do add extra water when steaming vegetables while cooking rice. I have cooked asparagus, brussels sprouts, and zucchini in this while also cooking rice. I have noticed it sputters a little, but mine does not make a big mess as other reviewers have noticed.
I love that I can switch it on and walk away until ready to eat!

So the first one that arrived had a lid that was a little too small. It does not perfectly close the rice pot, and the lid wobbles on the top of the pot. Got a replacement, and then the lid works out ok.
The rice cooker is ok, but not perfect. The rice at the bottom gets kinda dry, and the rice on the top is a little too wet. After its done cooking, you have to stir the rice around abit, pop the lid back on, and let it sit on "warm" for another 5-10 minutes. Then you'll get a perfectly cooked rice.
