I have one of those cheap rice cooker I get at target and the rice be never consistent . I invest in this rice cooker and I have try , white -lrb- jasmine -rrb- , brown , and wild and have get great result each time . my only complaint be similar to other . the instruction manual give really no concrete information on how to measure you rice and water . even when I think I add to much or too little water , the rice have turn out . the cooker be easy to clean and easy to transport to various counter . overall , I be glad I make the investment .
