I bought this after my sister raved about hers so much and my old one was in need of replacement.  I like it for what little I've used it so far, but it is difficult to operate.  In addition, I would really have appreciated a few recipes and/or suggested cooking times in the small "operations" booklet provided.  Since this so different than my previous one, I'm quite sure I'm not using it to it's capacity by any means.
