this be the 2nd or 3rd aroma Rice Cooker we have own . maybe we have bad luck with rice cooker , I do not know . this model , which we love when it work for the first 2-3 year , be wonderful . but somewhere around the end of year 3 , they begin to fail . it begin to shut off too early because the sensor inside be fail . still , because it make great rice , that be why we keep buy the same model . but do not look for it to last more than couple of year .
