We've been having this rice cooker for a few years. So our model is old and it's white. It's small. We use it basically every day. I usually fill 1/3 part with rice, then add another 1/3 with water, add salt and we're good. I strongly recommend this proportion, otherwise the rice turns too dry or too mushy. We cook different kinds of rice, including suchi rice. It's hard to clean inside. Usually i just wipe with a wet cloth. We even took the rice cooker to the hotels.
