Customer Reviews
Good overall4
At home we have a rice cooker on which we spent over $150. I am on an assignment away from home for a few months and wanted to find a rice cooker. I specifically wanted a rice cooker with delay function, so that when I get off work the rice is ready.
Pros: Cheap compared to rice cookers with similar functions. The cheapest rice cooker with delay function is over $80. This one is only $50. The rice cooker works pretty well as far as I can tell (I have been eating rice all my life).
Cons: The details are not as good as some of the more expensive brands. For example: the cord is not retractable; there is no rice paddle holder on the rice cooker so you will have to put it somewhere else; the paint of the plastic sticker showing 15 hours sticks to the rice cooker even after you remove the sticker (this must happen a lot - I don't know what their QC people are doing). None of these affects the functions of the rice cooker. But it just appears that the manufactorer does not pay much attention to the details.
Overall it is a good value. If you are looking for a rice cooker with delay function and are not willing to spend a lot of money on it, I recommend this rice cooker. If you are a person attentive to details and easily irritated by annoyance, you may want to spend more money buy a name brand.
Regarding the reviewer left rice warm for two days: no food should be left warm for two days -- the food will go bad no matter how good your rice cooker is. I typically keep extra cooked rice in the fridge and then microwave it before meals.
Great Product, does the job well - pretty fool proof (Is this last reviewer for real?)5
Aroma makes solid rice cookers, all the reviews are pretty good across the board -- this one is no different. It's very similar to some of the cheaper digital models but has more features. I'm not sure how the sensor logic (fuzzy logic) works, but the rice comes out perfectly, no timer, no worry about perfectly measuring. Brown rice was the real test and it came out phenomenal , not burnt or unevenly cooked - that's an accomplishment considering how long it has to cook -- I have never once been able to cook brown rice quite right in a pan.
**I'm not sure what planet the last reviewer is on --
Firstly, you cannot leave rice in it for 2 days (max 12 hours)
Secondly, how would someone get such a strong impression of a product
in just a few days (this model was only in stock literally days
before Christmas, I was looking weeks before that)
Rmoon's rant in questionable at best -- user error is obvious
Great rice cooker5
I bought this rice cooker for work related luncheons. When my husband and I used it at home, we decided to keep it. It does perfect rice and steamed veggies! I have always had a hard time making good brown rice. Now we have delicious brown rice once or twice a week. It is a great value for the quality, look, and functions. I recommend this cooker if you can't decide.
