It just turned off without any warning--unless you consider the noxious, plastic-burning-like aroma a warning. This baby is heading straight back. Sounds like Oster may have a generic problem on their hands, but that's their problem and not mine; don't make it yours either! from Amazon.com Why? Because despite following manufacturer's instructions to the letter (and rinsing the rice, and following guidelines for usage, and following their recipes), the thing shuts down halfway through the first cycle of usage and quite simply stops working...it actually appears to be shorting out or something, though judging from the rank plastic smells that have consistently filled my kitchen, I'm guessing the thermostat is flawed and allowing the unit to overheat and burn out. Used to be you could count on Oster for high quality and long lived products. I'm convinced those days are gone for good. from Amazon.com A friend of mine gave this rice cooker to me and my husband as a wedding gift (I have been married 3 months). It was a good rice cooker when it still functioned. from Amazon.com I've taken three of them back to the place of purchase hours after buying it. Why? Because despite following manufacturer's instructions to the letter (and rinsing the rice, and following guidelines for usage, and following their recipes), the thing shuts down halfway through the first cycle of usage and quite simply stops working...it actually appears to be shorting out or something, though judging from the rank plastic smells that have consistently filled my kitchen, I'm guessing the thermostat is flawed and allowing the unit to overheat and burn out. Used to be you could count on Oster for high quality and long lived products. from Amazon.com I used this item only twice and it went dead!!!! How could they make something like this? from Amazon.com I've had this rice cooker/steamer since May 2008 and I absolutely love it. The only time I have had a problem with the steam/water boiling out of the top is when I tried to cook too much rice. from Amazon.com Learning to use any new piece of technology can be an exciting and frustrating process. I bought this to replace an old on/off style rice cooker that we have had for 7+ years. I followed the directions for making brown rice, measuring both the rice and the water carefully. from Amazon.com My wife thought that this was a great deal. We've got more than one rice cooker, but the features were attractive. We hadn't seen the reviews before purchasing the unit, so having it in hand and then seeing the dismal reviews was a bit disappointing. from Amazon.com We have now owned 4 of these rice cookers. The first one broke the first time we used it. from Amazon.com
