Query: Not as great as expected

I bought this product based on all the great reviews. I haven't been impressed with the rice - quick or standard cooked white rice. I have had better rice cooked in much cheaper cookers. The result has improved somewhat over the months - by experimenting with the amount of water added but it shouldn't be this hard. I would not recommend this product over cheaper versions that I have found easier to use, easier to clean and provide a better cooking result.
