I bought this in Jan 2014. It's May 2023. It's almost a decade old, and it's still going.
(Honestly, I only use it for white rice.)
+ Cooks sushi rice perfectly
+ Cooks jasmine rice perfectly
+ Done in 36 minutes (I've timed it) -- FASTEST rice cooker
+ Easy to clean
+ Couldn't be any simpler to use
+ Cheap (it was $30 then, and it's $30 now)
+ Has been with me for a DECADE
- The ONLY "negative" is that I used metal forks and spoons in it when I was young and foolish, so some rice can stick, especially if it's left on keep warm for a long time. Washed rice sticks less. Oiled rice (for individual grains, like fried rice) doesn't stick at all.
[I have no chill for "fancy" brands]
I have tried to ZOJIRUSHI rice cookers, on "sushi, white rice, long grain white" modes. It takes 60+ minutes everytime, and we always google, "Why is my rice overcooked?"
I have never had to troubleshoot my Aroma rice cooker. It just works. I'm so annoyed by "higher quality" brands that make you experiment to try to get their product to work.
[How I Use It]
If I want fluffy, individual grains, to go with beans or to go into fried rice, I THOROUGHLY wash the Jasmine rice, then mix in a little oil to the pot before I turn it on.
If I want sushi rice, I just wash it a normal amount (3-6x) and fill up to the line.
[Washing Rice] Just in case anyone is unfamiliar, you "wash" the extra starch off of rice before you cook it. Usually you just put the rice in the cooking bowl, fill it part way with water, swirl the grains around, tip out as much of the water as you can without spilling grains - and repeat until the water is nearly clear. If you want less sticky rice (like for fried rice) wash it for longer to get all extra starch off.
Then you add fresh water (I use filtered) to the "washed" rice until it hits the Fill line for however many "cups" of rice you put in.
[Amount of Water] Just use the cup that comes with the rice cooker and fill to the line. I don't know why the finger method doesn't give you the same ratio and result, but I just trust the machine.
[TLDR]
+ It's still flawless a DECADE later
+ Cooks various types of rice perfectly every time
+ Effortless
+ Cooks twice as fast as others
I would buy it in a heartbeat for anyone else. I wouldn't waste my time or money on anything else.

It simultaneously steams food: nutritious and healthy.
The Steam Tray allows for healthy steaming of meats and vegetables, even as rice cooks below! Need rice in a pinch? Save time with the Quick Rice function which cuts cooking time by up to 50%. The programmable 15-hour delay timer is great for families on the go, delivering delicious rice ready when it's needed.

AROMA Select Stainless Rice Cooker Honest Review
tati.wild
What a journey, when i was but a wee little lad my mama would feed the hord of children i called my sibling (5) with rice pilaf and normally youd cook it with a stove on a pan. Id be sweating bullets making sure id either didnt let it brown long enough or burned it to a crisp. Well as i grew older and my love/hate of making my favorite rice grew i often wondered would a rice cooker be capable of making This hallowed rice sent from the heavens... But alas i never had the nerve nore thought to attempt such a disatrous or ground breaking thing like making rice with a rice cooker. Even when i moved out and lived off ramen and pbandj i yearned for that perfect rice. I then bought a cheap rice maker that would make white rice terribly and made me lose hope. One long year later i had the urge and thought maybe i can do it learn from the years and past rice failures and went out on a limb this afforable rice cooker... can cook white rice good bit can it do it can it make my goal my true delecacy?????.....it can and did also steamed some veggies with it. 10/10. Now with the pic above i wait for tommorow to be awaken by the smell of perfectly cooked rice for work tommorow

Update 06/29/23:
After communicating back and forth with the company customer service, Aroma sent us a replacement unit. So, I am updating to 5-star since the company stands behind its product. No issue with the replacement unit and I hope what happened was just a fluke.

Bad Product. Unresponsive Company. Update 6/29/23: Company responded and sent a replacement unit
Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 9, 2023
Purchased on April 15 and used it about once a week. Several days after the 30-day return cut off, the unit failed. It beeped after +/- 25 minutes or so indicating it completed the cooking cycle but rice was not cooked plus standing water. Contacted the company numerous times, only to get a recording. Leaving messages + my phone number numerous times, but no response. Filled out warranty claim from the company website but no response either, though the site clearly says the company would respond within 72 hours at the latest. Corporate ph number rolls over to a recording. Amazon should not work with this kind of a company that does not stand behind it's products as it affects Amazon's reputation.Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 9, 2023
