I have use this rice cooker for multiple batch of rice since my purchase , and I have to say it have do exactly what I have expect of it . I have make 1-3 cup of rice at one time . anything above that I can not comment on but for those amount each batch be perfect . I like my rice on the sticky side so I have use 1 1\/4 - 1 1\/2 cup of water per one cup of rice -lrb- and this be white rice -rrb- depend on how sticky you want the rice . I have make brown rice only once so not much to write about that other than I use the suggest rice to water ratio in the product instruction . also have not use the steam tray to make any vegetable or anything else . as far as the product itself : it work great , the positive : no bubble over the lid -lrb- and I do not wash or rinse my rice -rrb- . the button be very straight forward , one for white and one for brown rice . clean up be very easy . there be really no negative yet since I have only have it for about a month -lrb- since write this review -rrb- . but two thing : -lrb- 1 -rrb- the cord be not retractable and -lrb- 2 -rrb- the tray that collect excessive water do not fit sturdily in the back its a bit loose , but it have not be a issue . neither of those thing would be deal breaker for I , I would still purchase this product again if I have to . so over all it do what I expect it to do , which be steam rice and it do it great .
