We make rice at least once a week so when we were due for a new rice cooker, we were ok spending a little extra for a good one. This is worth EVERY PENNY. Rice comes out perfect every time, the machine is so easy to use and to clean. PERFECTION. BUY IT, you won’t regret it.

Purchased in June 2016, used at least weekly since then (often 3-5 times a week)
Before I say anything else, a note about cooking rice – RINSE YOUR RICE, PEOPLE. IT’S IN THE DIRECTIONS AND IT’S CRUCIAL FOR GOOD RICE.
Fit & Finish:
– Despite the shell being mostly plastic, this rice cooker feels a bit luxe and everything is nice and tight. The super shiny plastic is extremely easy to wipe down whenever it gets dirty.
– The retractable power cord is an amazing feature, such a creature comfort. It works just like it did when we got it, albeit slightly slower now. I’ve never had a problem with getting it to go in the direction I needed.
– The lid and hinge mech is solid and easy to use, just one big button to release. An interesting thing to note is the hinge only opens just beyond far enough for the rice pan to be insertable into the machine, so if it didn’t pop up all the way and your hands are full, you’ll need to use an elbow to nudge it the rest of the way open. My solution is to just pop it open and make sure it’s fully open before I start doing anything else.
– The handle is light and plastic but has not cracked at any point, not even the joints. This was something I was worried about since the unit feels like it could be an issue, but I kinda swing this thing around when moving it in/out of my pantry, and it’s still totally solid.
Product in use:
– The user interface (buttons and screen) is intuitive, easy to use, and there are no seams between the buttons for any water ingress. The buttons on my unit haven’t even started to wear down after 7 years.
– As far as functions go, I only really ever use the White or Quick rice features – I don’t eat brown rice at home, and haven’t felt the need to use any of the other ones. I’ve also never used the timer feature as I am not the best planner. But this thing sure does make the most perfectly cooked rice every single time. It’s honestly kind of rough having such high quality, easy to cook, white rice at home, and then go out to eat and the rice you’re eating is just mushy and overcooked or gummy. This thing spoils you.
— A note about Quick Rice – I have found that the quicker cook time /can/ lead to slightly tackier/gummier rice if you open the lid as soon as the cycle ends. I would give it a few extra minutes to steam out before opening and the rice will be almost as perfect as the regular cycle.
– Volume of rice cooked – I don’t think I have ever maxed this thing out, but I have gotten close. What is MORE impressive, is that I can cook 1 single ‘cup’** (**OF THE CUP THEY GIVE YOU TO MEASURE THAT CORRESPONDS TO THE LINES IN THE RICE PAN, WHICH IS ACTUALLY 3/4 CUP) of rice and it comes out just as perfect as if I cooked rice for 6 people. This amount of rice has never been short of enough for one meal for two adults. On quick rice, this amount cooks in like…15 minutes? And on White it’ll start at 50, but will actually skip a few and be done in 25min or so.
Summary:
I thought for sure that $130 (at my time of purchase) was a bit overkill for a rice cooker, but I will 1000% buy another one of these whenever my current unit dies, if that ever happens. I thought 7 years was a good run (< $20/year for perfect rice at home?!) so any more time after this is just a big bonus.
10/10, and 10/10 with rice.

First zojirushi, tested it out the first day and left with a strong first impression. Lots of features, good accessories, style looks great in person, has really cool musical sounds.
The retractable power cable is perfect. Rice paddle is really nice, cleans off easy with water after each use. Comes with a steam basket, though mine didn’t come with the rice paddle holder, maybe because it’s open box I believe.
My old cheap rice cooker, aroma from costco, cooked jasmine rice within about 35min or so. This one does in around 50min or 55 maybe, which is fine because it produces very good rice. Comes out fluffy, nice separation, good texture. I believe these take longer to cook to produce better rice. There is a quick function if you are in a rush for some reason.
The only negative I can think of is that it’s made in china. Some say that’s not necessarily a bad thing, but they have other models made in japan that costs more.
You’re going to want to read the manual for this one, it has a good amount of features that are useful and some cautions worth paying attention to.
I really like it, even if it is made in china.
Would buy again at 130usd. If you’re paying near 200, you might as well get the neuro fuzzy logic white japan made model. That one has better reviews and test results.

If you’re a family that needs rice on a daily basis but you’re trying not to destroy your bank account with one of those really high end models and simultaneously trying to do better than the basic no-frills model, this one might be for you. We need the basic no-frills one from Zojirushi and the weight mechanism at the bottom started to glitch over time. This is a known issue, and you can remedy it by stacking coins on it until it works normally again, but we opted instead to buy this one. Ultimately we’re happy we did, because this model is nicer, has more features, works better, has lasted much longer, and is overall worth the upcharge for the quality improvements. Unlike the budget model, this one has no faltered or failed in any way and continues to function admirably, but more importantly has a special adaptability where it will adjust to the amount of water you put into it within a reasonable degree. So if you put in a little too much water (it happens), it will still somehow magically make perfect rice. I have no idea how this works, but they call it some wild overly long name and I’m glad it comes as a feature on these higher end models because it lets me be sloppy with my measurements.

Muy bueno! Coce el arroz a la perfección, y lo mantiene caliente.

Love my rice cooker. I’ve always just cooked on the stove but a friend of mine told me how much she loves hers so I thought I’d try. So glad I did

My husband had three bowls of rice with this new rice cooker! He normally just has one bowl.
