I was super excited to get this but was only disappointed after trying to use it a few times. I first tried white rice and that was a fail. Came out mushy and inedible. There’s no timer so you’re forced to take the lid off and check on it periodically which isn’t a great way to cook rice. I joined a Facebook group to see how others use it and a lot of people had the same issues as I did. No timer, no temperature, takes forever to heat up. Some folks said there’s a learning curve with it. I don’t particularly like having to learn the idiosyncrasies of an appliance that claims convenience. I tried a second meal in and got frustrated with the amount of time to sear vegetables so I have officially given up. Gave it a couple stars because it looks pretty and can use the pot at least.
