Product Review: Aroma 6-Cup Rice Cooker
Price Range: $15-$25
Features:
Making rice on a daily basis should not be a pain. Too many people choose to not eat rice because it is a pain to make on the range day in and day out. Little do they know how much they are missing out. Rice is packed with fiber, fills the belly while keeping you slim, and is the perfect side dish.
Cooking with the Aroma 6-Cup Rice Cooker is as simple as flipping a switch. Load the selected rice into the Aroma Cooking Pot, add a measured amount of water proportional to the rice, place the steam lid over the pot, and flip the switch. In no less than thirty-five minutes will your rice be done, whether it is white rice or brown rice.
Don't have a full kitchen? It doesn't matter. This Aroma Rice Cooker takes up only a fraction of the counter. Live in a dorm? This rice cooker will work just fine in a dormitory if appliances that produce steam are allowed. Have to travel in a car and stay overnight at hotels? No matter, this rice cooker packs easily and can be used to make healthy meals on the road.
Make more than just rice with the steam tray. Vegans rejoice, we can eat a full meal with so little work thanks to this nifty little device. Steam vegetables to add to the top of the rice: asparagus, carrots, and broccoli all come out soft and moist after the steaming process. Want a bit of spice or sweetness with the rice? Steam onions in the steaming tray to really liven up the dish.
Spending over $100 on a high-quality rice cooker is such a risk. For less than $20 you will find a ready to use rice cooker. This makes it perfect for anyone just getting into the world of rice cooking. If you have a family member or friend interested in eating healthy and whole foods, an introductory rice cooker is one of the best introductions to a healthy diet. Take next to no risk with an appliance that costs so little.
Cleanup is no major concern. After all, you just need to clean up the stainless steel pot after cooking the rice. Also, you may need to wipe off the steam lid after the rice cooking process as boiling water may spatter the lid. Otherwise, rinsing out the stainless steel pot in the sink, and then placing the pot in the dishwasher should take care of your needs.
Cons:
Don't expect to feed a family of four with this device. The Aroma 6-Cup Rice Cooker is small. Cooking for one, or maybe two people will be fine; however, a full family will be too much. Perhaps you could scooch by with just a small serving of rice for each family member, but it will simply not be enough to satisfy a hungry belly.
Occasional messes can happen due to the boiling water spattering against the top and coming out of the steam vent. In order to clean this up, keep a dish rag around the rice cooker in order to wipe up any mess that may have come up.

Value for Money?
Making rice on a budget should be done with a machine like the Aroma 6-Cup Rice Cooker. Whether you want to save money, eat healthy, or simply like eating rice, the Aroma Rice Cooker will make for a welcome addition to the kitchen. Serious rice connoisseurs should consider a higher quality machine, but the beginner will find the Aroma 6-Cup a welcome addition. Overall, I give the Aroma 6-Cup Rice Cooker 3/5 stars.

Aroma 6-Cup Cooker vs. Aroma 8-Cup Cooker

- The Aroma 8-Cup Rice Cooker will cost you nearly twice as much money. While both Rice Cookers are a fantastic deal, only one of these appliances ends up coming in at under $20. Remember though, you get what you pay for.
- I prefer the design of the Aroma 8-Cup Rice Cooker. Between the two, the Aroma 8-Cup definitely looks a whole lot more attractive in the kitchen. Even though the price difference is small, the Aroma 6-Cup Rice Cooker looks cheaper than the Aroma 8-Cup.
- More is to be found in the Aroma 8-Cup Rice Cooker. If all you want is a rice cooker that can cook both brown and white rice, both machines will work. However, if you want to cook a decent amount of rice at a time, make somewhat more complex dishes than rice, or get a better overall cook, the Aroma 8-Cup Rice Cooker comes out as the winner.
- Aroma made two worthy machines here, but the upgrade to the Aroma 8-Cup Rice Cooker is well worth the money. While the Aroma 6-Cup Rice Cooker does a fine job cooking rice, it fails to meet all of the features of the Aroma 8-Cup.
