I love this rice maker.  It is fantastic to be able to set the timer and have rice/steel cut oats ready on time. It is elegant in its features - easy to program, easy to clean.  What I wish?  That the 'mode' would stay on what was the last choice.  That I could more easily see the water line against the measurement lines.  That said, I use it every single day to have breakfast ready when I wake up.  It's a game changer in my life!
