Initial purchase around November of 2003:In my house, we mainly eat brown rice & I was concerned that the cooker handle this since rice cookers seem to be designed with white rice in mind.I also wanted to be able to start it in the morning and come back after work and find it perfectly cooked and still hot.I'm happy to report that this cooker performs perfectly at both tasks.For my brown rice, I find that I need a little extra water (ie, fill it a little over the line instead of at the line) but this is a minor quibble.Other than that, it's very easy to use, the measuring marks for water & the measuring cup for rice make it unexpectadely easy to measure the desired amount of rice.I have also used this with great success with more exotic rices incdluding wild rice, black rice and red rice from Butan (or somewhere around there, I got it at Whole Foods)
Update 10/24/04: After almost a year of use, I still love this rice cooker and recently used it to cook barley very successfully (but you have to measure the water & barley yourself, don't use the rice measurements that are pre-labeled on the cooker as the water to grain ratio is different for barley than rice).
Also, I've abused it by pouring rice into the heating compartment of the unit itself and it still works!I simply forgot to put the rice pot in the unit and poured in the rice without it.By the time I realized my error some had gotten into the innards, where it still lives some months later.Other than the fact that I can hear it, the cooker continues to work flawlessly
Update 8/22/2006.Still working flawlessly, even though there is still rice in the innards due to my carelessness.
