I used this Aroma rice cooker for four years, and it's still going strong. You can get some good quality jasmine rice out of this if you're willing to work around some minor inconveniences:
1. Wash rice a few times beforehand to minimize water spillage on your counter.
2. For the appropriate amount of water, fill water level to about the first knuckle of your index finger when touching the top of the rice (for jasmine rice). Plug in cooker (there is no on/off button) and press down button to begin cooking.
3. Rice will finish cooking in about 20 minutes. There's no warning except that the button to cook will automatically pop up to the warm function. Immediately unplug the cooker or the bottom of the rice will burn and be hard to clean. The warm feature is useless.
4. Do not remove the lid of the rice cooker right away or the rice will still stick to the bottom of the pot. It won't be burned a different color but it will still be difficult to clean without being soaked in water for over an hour. Instead, move the rice pot off the cooker burner, lid still on, and set it aside to cool for five to ten minutes. When you do remove the lid later to fluff up the rice, none of it will be stuck to the bottom, and the pot will be a breeze to clean.
And that's about it. Makes a good amount of rice for one or two people.
