But the biggest difference I've noticed in rice is the quality of rice. High end vs low end. I get a better rice taste, texture, consistency with a premium rice in a cheap $10 automatic rice cooker, than cheap rice in a high end rice cooker.
How you wash the rice, prep the rice, and cook the rice is a bigger difference than the cooker.
Just to add on a note: I use different types of rice, from short grain, to medium grain, cal rose, jasmine, and my favorite koshihikari rice.
I recommend trying different types of rice and seeing what tastes the best and what works for you. try different cooking methods. Good luck.

Edit: I don't mean actual ceramic through. I mean ceramic style, non-PTFE, non-stick coating.
Instant Pot is considerably faster at cooking the rice, in my experience, which is a plus, especially for types of rice that usually take a long time like brown rice. And the IP is useful for other things. I use my IP more often for cooking dried beans.
If anyone has advice on a different cooker or how to achieve that with this one, I'd greatly appreciate it.
if you leave it on rice warming mode, the water condensed on the lid drips back onto your rice, making it soggy.
it undercooks rice often - every other rice cooker I've used does not do this and makes the proper adjustments.

As others have mentioned, wish the lid came out for cleaning, but I just wipe it down and leave it open to dry out. No problems so far.
The ceramic coating should last if kept well. Don't use metal and don't scrub (like any other nonstick). Soak with water if need be.
Will probably get a larger more expensive cooker later (Zojirushi?) but this works really well for a small household.
Makes wonderful rice and for those debating the cheap $15 thing at Walmart vs. this, this thing just makes the most wonderful tasting/texture rice. It isn't soggy or burnt or anything. Cooks evenly and the grains are just yummy and I grew up using those cheap ones and never knew rice could taste better.

if you want to cook more than rice and grains, get the Micom. It comes with non-rice and grain settings, including steam and bake.
