so far -lrb- 8-10 use -rrb- , this product have be perfect . positive point : - do exactly what you ask it to do . my rice -lrb- either white basmatus or jasmine , or brown or black -rrb- be all well cook , and it reach my perfect taste after have wait for 10-15 minute on `` keep warm '' . - seem to be a good quality item compare to its -lrb- rather cheap -rrb- price . - I do not remark any spill around the exhaust vent of my rice cooker , even if I read it happen to a few other people with the same item -lrb- it happen with my previous rice cooker , and do not really bother I anyway -rrb- . - quite easy to clean , except for the lid -lrb- see below -rrb- . negative point : - the rice take quite some time to cook -lrb- around 30 minute -rrb- , which be a bit longer than if you do it in a saucepan -lrb- either w \/ a lot of water or in sushi-rice\/risotto style -rrb- , and also a bit longer than with my 2 previous rice cooker . - quite easy to clean , except for the lid , which do not seem to be able to be take apart from the entire rice cooker , which force you to clean it in try not to put water anywhere else on the rice cooker -- -rrb- not very practical , consider that the rice steam stick a bit if it dry , and that it be really easy to clean right away -lrb- well , a bit less with this machine -rrb- . I do not test the other function of the rice cooker -lrb- slow cooking + steamer -rrb- , but I doubt you will do it every day either ... all in all , I like this product and would buy it again without hesitate . I 'll remember the aroma brand , which I do not know before .
