wow . just wow . stunning , simple , perfect rice , every time . throw it in , press a button , and in just over a hour you have get perfectly cook rice . ca not say enough positive thing about this model . I have use it for a month now , and it continue to impress . one of these day I 'll read the manual to see what the other button do , but since I get it I have just use the big red cook button , and the off button .
