for the price , this be a beautiful rice cooker . the picture really do not do it justice . it be very well make and solid . I have make great wild and brown rice with it . for this , the only drawback be time . it take over a hour for brown rice . it be perfect , I just wish I know how long it take before I start dinner ! my daughter and I get this one together and she love it . she say it be she rice cooker . I be look forward to make a few of the other recipe , for thing like oatmeal , and other time sensitive dish .
