I buy the aroma arc-998 Rice Cooker on April 11 , 2011 . I be so glad I keep the receipt ! the good : it be sleek , pretty , contemporary and digital ! what be not to love ? I 'll tell you . the bad : this cooker work great for about 5 use ... I cook white rice , brown rice , and steamed vegetable . then it just stop cooking . the light come on , the timer still go off ... and I open the cover to find my rice sit in lukewarm water . I turn it off , hit the rice button again . eventually the timer go off . nothing ! folk , this be the third aroma cooker I have own . I replace a bad manual aroma cooker with this one , mistakenly think that this one might actually ... well , you know , COOK RICE . I will not make the mistake of buy a fourth . as I say , I be glad I keep the receipt because the cooker come with a 1-year warranty and I be send it back to they for replacement . I do not hold high hope that the replacement will be much better ... but I refuse to just throw out a $ 50 cooker out of sheer principle . one thing be for sure : I will never buy another aroma product . if you buy this cooker -lrb- or anything else make by aroma -rrb- , keep the receipt and the box ! I have a feeling you 'll need they .
