I received this product free from Influenster and KitchenAid in exchange for my honest review.
This rice and grain cooker was really easy to operate.  The machine measures the weight of the grain as you pour it in and calculates the amount of water needed.  You can also select different grains and the machine is programmed to use the right amount of water and cooking time for each one.  I made jasmine rice and couscous.  The rice seemed a little dry.  I don't think the menu option for couscous is meant for pearl couscous because it came out chewy and undercooked.  According to the manual it is possible to create custom cycles, so I will have to experiment with that.  The biggest problem with this machine is that it would take up a lot of counter space and I have a small apartment. I am less likely to use it if I have to store it in the closet when I am not using it.
