I only cook white rice so it be very good in what it be suppose to do for I . the rice be more fragrant than when I use some other ricecooker to cook it . also , it be nice to have the beep after the rice finish cooking . the rice paddle be provide with it so you do not really need to buy it separately . the cord be a little shorter than what I would have like but no big deal since I have a power socket right by where I be put it now .
