 Excellent rice cooker. Feb 25, 2008
By D. Schlesinger
"dschlesi"
I had researched several higher priced rice cookers (over $100) before buying this one. I came across it at Sam's Club ($30) and thought I should give it a try. I was skeptical at first, because most rice cookers in this price range received horrible reviews. However I was pleasantly surprised the first time I used it. It took 15 minutes or so to cook 3 cups of rice and it came our perfect, just like you would get from a good Chinese restaurant. I've never been able to cook rice like that before. It's great. It's also very easy to clean.

So far Jasmine & Brown Rice Jan 16, 2009
By The Creative
I ordered this item through Sam's Club because they offer service contract after the warranty, otherwise I would have bought it here on Amazon.
Anyway, I got the rice cooker today and made 2 batches of rice to test it out. First, I made 2 cups of Jasmine Rice. It came out perfect and fast. The package states 15-20 minutes, the cooker got it done in about 10 minutes.
The real test is always, the Brown Rice. I made 4 cups of Brown Rice to yield 8 cups. I followed the instruction booklets recommended amounts. I believe Brown Rice takes about an hour normally to cook, the cooker got it done in the range of 20 - 30 minutes. Perfect rice, fluffy, flavorful. WOW!
I have a bunch of more rice to try. Wild, Red etc. I will update once I get those done. However I have a feeling they will all end up the same.
Cleanup is easy, and the only thing that I had a problem with is the term "Cup". Normally we think of a "cup" being the measure we use when we cook, but apparently there is a a different "cup" measurement for the rice. The booklet states rice industry standards for the measurement. So 1 cup is less than what you get when you normally use the cup measure at home. So it's a bit miss leading when they say 10 cups, its probably closer to 8.

Good product for the paid price Mar 24, 2009
By Santhosh Kumar
My wife bought this product more than one month back and below are some of the details mentioned about her likes and dislikes:
Likes:
1]Cooks rice well --soft and fluffy. Depends on the individuals on how they want the rice to be cooked[For those who want the rice to be fluffy for one measure of rice add 3 cups of water.] Unplug immediately once it turns to warm and keep the rice pot outside else rice becomes bit harder.
2]since its a 10 -cup rice cooker, best for larger families(2+) or for those wherein guests keep coming.
3] Steamed vegetables comes out good
Dislikes:
1] Starch content form the rice which getting collected at the bottom if u dont turn the rice, using the spatula provided, almost at the end while cooking.
2] Cleaning though its nonstick- as u need to clean the vessel lid, steam vent, condensation collector and the inside lid of the rice cooker. Also some starch from rice at the top edges of the cooker. But still no isssues better than Indian Pressure cookers :-) as they are not heavy.

 Hot spot Aug 07, 2009
By L. Moore
Rice was cooked fine, but on "warm" there seems to be a hot spot where the rice became brown and overcooked.

 Rice is burning and drying up! Apr 01, 2009
By Young S. Bagaason
I am very disappointed that, unlike my previous AROMA rice cooker, this rice cooker is not functioning well. The bottom of rice is always burnt and rice dries up so quickly that I can not use the "keep warm" mode. I regret that I bought this through the internet.
