I may have gotten a bad one, but after an hour my brown rice was still not cooked, so I tried long grain white rice and had the same problem.

The bottom is nice and thick for even heating.
The domed lid is great for piling greens and bulky things in that cook down.
The handles don't get overly hot, which is really nice.
If there were one thing I would change, I'd give it a bit of a lip so foods don't pop out as easily if you stir too hard lol.
I've only had it a few days and I've used it 2x a day!

Even if you only buy this to slice onions, cucumbers and potatoes, you're ahead!
But it does so much more.
Grating cheese, potatoes, carrots, yams, parsnips -you name it.

Does how it clean? Self cleaning? Is there a descale light? Thank you.

There's a "clean" button on top.
I haven't had it long enough to say if it's a stand alone button or if you have to use a descaling solution.

Are there any disposable filters available for the ground coffee option to replace the permanent filter? Thanks!

The booklet says not to use paper filters, but it's tempting because fine ground coffee seems to leave sludge with just the permanent filter.

Does this tower fan make annoying buzzing/humming noise?

If the oscillation function stops working, yes it makes a whirring sound (I've had 2 with that issue after 6 months of use).
