Wow! I am so glad that I took a chance on this rice/steamer.. I almost passed this item up because I only saw one review and it was a bad review. Well I took a chance and this is one nice Item. I purchased ours for 19.99 at Target. There were only two left. Let me get to how this all started. First of all I came across a proctor silex rice cooker, for 19.99, I passed that cooker up and then went back to look for that cooker and it was gone. So I did some research on rice cookers. Come to find out, this one had what I was really looking for. The proctor was only a rice cooker. This Rice cooker/steam, can not only cook rice, but steam veggies and fish. It is like a one cook pot.
So, rushed home from the store, washed everything, out of the box and read the directions and started putting everything in the pot. I used jasmine rice, and seasoned the rice the way that I wanted it. When I tell you that I have never tasted rice like this, I said, well what have I been eating? I always wondered why I could never get brown rice or any rice cooked right, now I know. Not only did this rice cooker cook the rice just right, but It also steamed the veggies just the way I like them.... Wow what a deal.. Not let me also say that I only washed the steamer, top and base that goes inside of the rice cooker. You are not to was the base in water.
I am so glade that I took a chance on this item, and I am glad that I will be making healthier food for my family. Our children are so excited about the rice cooker. I see why there were only two left on the self. And I see why you should have a ricer cooker.
Now the other rice cooker that I wanted to purchase was used and only cooked rice. I was also told that it was returned because the person who purchased the item did not like the it cooked. So I am glad that I passed it up. This was worth the price and we feel like we made a wise investment and that we used our money wisely.
Now last thing is that this comes with a user manual that has a few recipes included. Well I am on my way to eat more rice and veggies!

Aroma ARC-733-1NGR 6-Cup Rice Cooker & Food Steamer Review

We have owned this for over 3 months now. It is our first rice cooker and I have only praise for it. But make sure that this fits your needs, otherwise you might be disappointed.
1. We use it pretty much only when we are traveling.
2. For two people, the quantity is just right. (If there are more members, a bigger volume cooker might be a better option.)
3. We read the earlier reviews and we switch off the cooker once the switch turns to warm after the rice is done.
4. We have made noodles and attempted a few Indian dishes (upma) which turned out quite fine.
5. If you wash the rice in the pot, it is a good idea to wipe the outside of the pot with a dry cloth before placing it in the cooker. That way the water won't ruin anything inside.
Just a couple of drawback:
** The amount of water needed varies slightly with each brand of rice. So I pretty much ignored their instructions and got it right after varying the water amount for 2-3 experiments.
** The etched measurement levels and water level markings in the dark background are pretty much impossible to read.
Overall, for the price, it is a great product. I think we recovered our money in the first 2 weeks itself.

This thing works great, and it steams veggies at the same time!!!! Just read the instructions thoroughly. If you are cooking brown or wild rice the water measurements are different. Rice comes out fluffy and moist every time. And, it stays moist on the warm setting too. I had it in there staying warm for over an hour and you wouldn't have known it, seriously. Buy this!
