I've been looking for a rice cooker with a stainless steel pot for a long time. I just cooked my first batch of rice (jasmine) tonight and not only did the rice turn out perfect, but there was absolutely no sticking and/or burning. (What??!!!!)
I should note that it did take a little bit longer to cook than my last rice cooker (~10 min) and I used my own proportions for rice/water that I fine tuned using my last cooker. (For Jasmine rice I use 14oz rice (rinsed 3-4 times) to 18oz water and then let it rest an additional 10min after the cook cycle is done.)
The bowl is super heavy and high quality 304SS - which I suspect has something to do with the lack of burning. The inside lid component is also 304SS. It seems well insulated and was easy to operate.
My biggest complaints:
1) The color - I hate the cream color and there are currently no other options. Bah!
2) Lack of a handle or grips to easily carry it, which makes it more difficult for where I need to store it.
Given that my gripes are fairly small, I don't believe they warrant a full star deduction - hence my 5 star rating.
I have another product from this brand (soy milk maker) that has held up well over the years, so I expect to get decent longevity out of this product .
Straight out of the box, in super impressed.
