My rice cooker died mid-week and it messed up my whole meal plan

This Tuesday night I had a bag of frozen veggies and some chicken thighs ready to go for a cheap stir fry, but my Aroma rice cooker just stopped heating after 5 minutes. I ended up boiling the rice in a pot on the stove and it came out mushy, not the fluffy stuff I usually get. Has anyone else had an Aroma cooker fail like that out of nowhere, or is there another cheap brand that lasts longer?

A buddy of mine had the exact same problem with an Aroma cooker about a year ago. His just started taking twice as long to cook rice and then one day it just quit halfway through a batch. He ended up replacing it with a Zojirushi he found at a thrift store for twenty bucks, and that thing has been running like a champ ever since. He said the Aroma was fine while it lasted but he wouldn't buy another one.

@johnson.river is RIGHT, my Aroma did the SAME thing and I was SO annoyed since I relied on it.

Yeah @nina_hall48 that's the thing with cheaper brands, they just don't hold up. Not surprised yours went the same way.
