Yes, I'm using regular rice. My main issue is not even the end result (although the rice ends up pretty dry/sticky depending on the amount of water) but rather the fact that I end up with a puddle of starchy water on my kitchen top.

Sounds like you might not be washing your rice, and/or cooking too much rice for your rice cooker.

Put the rice cooker near your sink and aim the steam vent towards the sink.
