I receive this rice maker about a week ago and be extremely happy with my purchase . I buy this to replace my cuisinart 4 cup rice maker which I have for about 4 year and always boil over spilling starchy liquid all over my counter and make rice that be either mushy or hard . I have use my new aroma rice make daily since I get it and have make brown rice , white jasmine rice and quinoa all will excellent result . for both the rice and quinoa , individual grain be detectable , everything be fluffy and not under cook or over cook in the least . I use the measurement specify by the manual for brown rice add 3\/4 cup water -lrb- base on the measure cup provide with the machine -rrb- for each cup of rice I cook , rinse the rice well , do not soak beforehand , and do let my rice and quinoa sit for about 10 minute after the cook button have pop up undisturbed to make sure it be fully steam . I have not have the rice stick to the bottom and have not have any starchy liquid spilling from my machine -lrb- yay ! -rrb- . I do notice that , as some other reviewer note , the cook light do come on the machine when you plug it in rather than the warm light . but I be not really sure that this be a issue . seem like not much of a big deal to I as the rice do not really start cooking until you push the cook button down . once cooking be complete and the button pop up the warm light come on . should you purchase this rice maker ? if you be look for a machine that steam rice well , do not leak , and have a great price tag , I say go for it .
