Customers are saying

Customers find value in the 6-Cup Rice Cooker's ease of use, excellent rice quality, and compact size, making it ideal for smaller households. Many appreciate its ability to steam vegetables in addition to cooking rice, and consider it a good value for the price. While some users noted longer cooking times for certain grains and occasional water leakage, the positive feedback on ease of use and rice quality outweighs these minor drawbacks.

    I read the reviews before purchasing this rice cooker and knew of the possibility that it may burn the rice. It does burn the rice at the bottom. I've made brown rice in this rice cooker a few times and each time the rice at the bottom was burnt. I recommend anyone thinking of buying this rice cooker to do as others have recommended: Turn off the rice cooker when it is done.

      Hello! A simple solution for this is in the water ratio. If you lessen the water input, it should produce a drier rice. It may take some trial and error to figure out what combination of water and rice works best to make you completely satisfied. AromaMarketing

    Followed the instructions on making brown rice (instructions differ from white rice) and still the rice burned and stuck to the bottom. Am going to keep it because even though it is designed specifically for rice, it will do other things and it's not worth my gas and bother to return it.

    Bought Open Box

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    We bought this as an open-box product. It was shipped to us in the original manufacturer's box (not enclosed in a shipping box). When we opened the box, we discovered the lid was partially bent and did not fit properly. If we had bought the product at full price, we might have been completely satisfied. To Best Buy's credit, the return and purchase refund were handled well and in a timely manner.

    Trying to figure out how this is a six cup rice cooker, my last two six cup cookers were twice this size. I'm not liking this product at all but it's not worth even running to the store to return it. Definitely not worth it!

    After giving the item the benefit of doubt and using it multiple times, I've come to the conclusion that it is an absolutely useless product and does NOT do what it promises!

    Ordered online because it said it made 6 cups of rice. I doubt that. My hand fits over the entire lid, this thing is so small. Returning ASAP.

    Lose roughly half the rice every time because it sticks to the bottom and gets all brown and hard.

      Hi ReidBryce, the rice cooker and it's respective parts may seem a bit wobbly, but rest assured that this is normal when the cooker is empty. Once there is rice and water in the cooker everything "fits" as it should. If you still have concerns, please feel free to reach Aroma Customer Service at 1-800-276-6286 x 1 Mon -Fri 8:30 am - 4:30 pm PST. AromaMarketing
