[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Purchased 3 weeks ago and used it immediately. It's unbelievably easy to use; select your grain or rice, fill the water reservoir, the cooker weighs the amount of food being prepared, select how you want it cooked and press start. The cooker adds the precise amount of water for your choice. After cooking, the menu window lets you know how long it's been warming. Best of all, there's ABSOLUTELY no mess.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I can't even begin to tell you how much I love my KitchenAid grain and rice cooker. For starters, it's absolutely gorgeous and such a great addition to my counter space. It actually takes up much less room than I was originally thinking. I was a little intimidated when I first unboxed but it honestly couldn't be any easier to use. The beautiful touch screen offers prompts for every step of the way, even showing you what to do, with images. Just fill with water, turn on, select what you're cooking (for example, rice), add food to the pot, select the texture you'd like and choose when to start (now or at a later time). I chose to set it for when my chicken would be ready and it was timed perfectly. As you'll see in my photo, I made the most delicious and perfect fried rice I've ever eaten in my life. So fluffy and each piece was cooked to perfection. The KitchenAid grain and rice cooker is fool proof. It comes with a very well written manual with so many different food options to cook from various rice and grains to all the beans you can possibly think of. So excited to try out all of the recipes in the included recipe book. I love to cook for my family but being such a busy mom, I don't always have the time it takes. This grain and rice cooker will allow me to save so much time. Not only cooking, but also cleaning up. I normally dread cooking rice and oatmeal because of how long it takes me just clean my pots at the end. I'm so happy to report, that is no longer the case. The KitchenAid pot literally cleans itself with the push of a button. I haven't had to descale yet, but maintenance will also be a walk in the park, with just the push of a button. You may have to clean the pot just a tad in the sink or dishwater after using the self clean cycle, but it's nothing in comparison to using just a normal pot on the stove. Obviously, I'm in love with this appliance. Never in a million years will I be cooking rice, beans or oats in any other way. This is a must have!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am blown away by this thing. Definitely a set it and forget it type of thing. I was a little suspicious but it actually works. My rice came out fluffy and fully cooked. I love that it cuts the guessing work of how much water to add. I would like to try adding beans to it and see how it does. Definitely worth the investment. I don’t have to worry about making rice again.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve used this grain and rice cooker a few times for rice and quinoa and it was very easy and fast. It makes cooking different grains very easy and convenient as it measures how much water you need by itself. It’s also easy to clean and can keep the cooked grain warm for many hours. Overall, I recommend this grain and rice cooker for easy cooking.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the concept but I feel like they purposely market this as bigger than it is. I can barely feed my family with this. I don’t understand why not just make it bigger instead of wanting people to think it’s bigger?

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Wow this is a life changer! I have boiled rice for years and I’ve never loved making them as much as I do now. I cook dinner most nights and I make a variety of food. I was so impressed with how easy this was to use and the our rice was perfectly cooked down to every grain. I was even able to pop in some vegetables to steam at the same time up to 24 hours before with the auto delayed cooking, and it’s safe around my kids with it being touch safe. I can’t wait to use it for other options like beans and quinoa-there is 21 presets already programmed into the machine to just fill, press, and go. This gets a full 5 stars from this family of 4!

This product surprised me. It really makes fantastic beans in a set it and forget it way. You can tell they spent some time on the settings, and you can customize a setting if one of them isn't quite perfect. It made perfect wild rice on the first try. It's really helpful for vegan / vegetarian households. Highly recommended!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I started using it as soon as I received it and loved it! The rice came out perfect, makes lots of rice, and love that I can steam other foods too! The cleaning was so easy and looks great on my countertop!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The cooker worked great. Easy to use and convenient. There’s days you need rice cooked quick and this cooker is perfect for that, no need to worry about cooking rice on the stove. I like how it’s a grain and rice cooker in both.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was so impressed by how easy this was to use! I love the versatility; you can make rice, beans, quinoa, oatmeal and so many other things with this! This was the appliance I didn’t know I needed, and I absolutely love it!!
