Query: Died after a year - Horrible rice cooker

First of all, I must say that this is NOT a 20-Cup rice cooker. I was surprised by the size of this rice cooker when I received it as it was only slightly larger than my old 3.5 Cup rice cooker. I don't know what size cup these guys are talking about. That's not, however, the reason why I'm giving it a bad rating. I agree with another reviewer here who wrote "the starch flows out from the cooker spoiling the cooking platform". This rice cooker made a mess every time we used it. I realized that if I leave the lid half open the starch wouldn't flood the platform, but I didn't like the way rice was being cooked with a half open lid. This being said, the rice cooker died after a year. I am shopping for another rice cooker now. This time I will spend a little more money and make sure to read the reviews before I make a purchase. I wouldn't recommend this rice cooker to anyone.
