First, the imperfections.1. The unit comes packed with a paper insert between the bowl and the interior. You are supposed to remove it before cooking in the unit. This is all well and good, but the insert is held in place with a small dab of adhesive which seems impossible to remove from the plastic interior, and from the shiny, golden-colored outside of the bowl onto which it migrates after the first use of the unit. Not a big deal, but not perfect, either.2. There is an overflow tray for water condensate that is very small, which must be emptied after each use. After I cooked my first batch of barley in the unit, I removed the tray and it was completely full of condensate with fiber scum from the barley. Some of the scummy water may have spilled onto the counter and run under the unit when I pulled out the tray. Alternatively, it may have run over during use. From my experience with cooking barley in traditional, non-pressure, non-IH, rice cookers, I can say it was an extremely small mess relatively speaking. However, I think the tray should be big enough to not run over when removed when following, exactly, the instructions in the manual.3. There doesn't seem to be any way to abort cooking except by unplugging the unit from the wall. This does result in an automatic release of pressure and a clearing of the program, for which I am thankful.Now the good points.1. Barley, the cooking of which was my reason for buying the unit, cooked perfectly using the instructions in the manual. It was just a little chewy, but completely cooked. Barley froths a lot because of its high soluble fiber content, and as mentioned above, the scummy mess resulting from the frothing barley was very, very small.2. An experiment I attempted with wheat berries and frozen fruit, that did not follow any instructions anywhere and wasn't even done the way I originally intended, resulted in a small amount of slightly cooked wheat covered in slightly caramelized fruit syrup. The unit's timer stuck at 10 minutes, probably because the mixture had gone all but dry and the temperature controller could no longer sense anything. I aborted the cooking by unplugging the unit when I started to smell what I felt was surely baking sugar syrup. Wonder of wonders, the barely cooked wheat was delicious, and the cooking bowl practically rinsed clean. There was absolutely no sticking. I consider this to be a commendable recovery from a bad user error.3. The color of the unit is gorgeous. The picture is not lying; it is a wonderful deep red metallic color. I wish my car was that color, but that wasn't a choice so my car is black. My rice cooker, however, is beautiful.Now for some tips that I wish I had found before I tried experimenting.1. The rice cooker "cup" that comes with this unit is 3/4 of a US cup.2. The 6-cup unit is described as large enough to make 6 servings. This is the old-fashioned meaning of servings, as in "serves 6". Back in the old days, packages which said they served 6 actually did satisfy 6 people at the dinner table. A combination of food marketing and the US government has resulted in a new meaning for this. 6 servings is now 6 portions, each of which contains about 100 calories so that the product can be advertised as containing 100 calories per serving. The fact that the government's dietary recommendations may say that you should consume 6 of these portions, called "6 servings", per day gets lost somewhere along the way. If you tried to serve 6 people with 6 modern US servings of anything, you would either have 6 starving diners or 1 happy diner and 5 angry ones. So anyway, when this unit's manual refers to 4 servings, they mean "enough to feed 4", not some dinky little dab intended to fool people into thinking they are getting more for their food-purchasing dollars than they are, and eating fewer calories than they can possibly exist upon.3. The smallest amount of any grain, and legumes are apparently counted as grain for this purpose, that can be cooked in this unit is 2 servings, or 2 rice-cooker cups of raw grain. This is 1.5 US cups of raw grain. Plan accordingly, for your purposes. By the way, you cannot cook less grain and make up the difference in volume with frozen berries. Especially if you slip and start the cycle on "plain rice" instead of one of the slower-cooking mixture settings.
