 Zojirushi Rice Cooker and Warmer with Induction Heating System July 20, 2010
Van B. Yang
Over all, this Rice Cooker is good but the wire cord is too big. It is hard to plug and unplug, very unconvenience and always on your way. It will be perfect if the cord can roll up itself. That is all!

I used a "lesser" Zojirushi rice cooker for many years before I decided to move upscale and buy this one. What can I say? I cook rice almost daily one or two servings at a time and it does an excellent job. it's true that it's a bit slow, but if it was faster the rice wouldn't be as good and I do have the choice of using the quick setting. Anyways, speed is unimportant when I use the timer which is most of the time.
It is expensive, but (like buying all good tools) you only pay once and benefit forever after. Well worth the money and my daughter is happy with the older one that I gave her!
Good product, be aware of warranty issue May 18, 2010
FFDR (Chicago, IL, USA)
I've used this one for about 2 yrs.
Pro's
- Very easy to use, rice comes out nice
- Keep rice warm for a few hours even with Keep Warm function off
- The right size for a family of two
- Portable to move to the table for serving
Con's
- Warranty: I filled out the warranty form and sent it to the company per instruction. The spetular holder that was promised in the warranty form never arrived. Called and got the following answer from the customer service: any Zojirushi product that was purchased from an unauthorized dealer (such as Ebay where I bought mine) would not be under manufacturer warranty and the customer would not get the spetular holder either. So I paid to get the holder (a trivial $3), but was upset for non-monetary reasons: 1st of all, I was not aware of the condition for warranty. It was not mentioned anywhere on the warranty form or the catalog I received from Zojirushi; 2nd, I was penalized for giving honest info about the seller; 3rd, I wasted my valuable time in filling out/sending the form.
Lesson learned: make sure that you buy the product from an authorized dealer, or don't bother to fill out the form. The product is well made and is unlikely to malfunction within the one-year warranty period.
PERFECT RICE!!!!! WITH EASY CLEAN UP April 15, 2010

NOT all rice cookers are made same. Not even within japanese brands!. This model is made in japan. and the rice comes out PERFECT. TASTY. YUMMY.
just figure out the rice water ratios, according to the rice you select:short/med grain, polished/unpolished, newcrop/oldcrop has different ratios nuiances.
This machine is beautiful and when ur done cooking there is NEVER any residue or nasty clean up. I always had that issue with my sanyo and LG rice cookers~ :(
I thought that was the norm, and i had to live with it. I DONT!
I am very particular about my rice, so i even got into a habit of stove top cooking it. but its work intensive :D and if u mess up, u mess up the whole batch ;p.
This IH system of cooking rice is incredible. INCREDIBLE! Every grain of rice on the sides or even at the bottom is evenly cooked with whatever is in the middle.
Even though there is 100 $ difference between the non IH model... its worth it if u eat rice everyday,
and im japanese so i DO!. I taste the difference in every bowl of rice, and i've had MANY!
A Truly Wonderful Piece Of Kitchen Gear! April 7, 2010

This Zojirushi rice cooker is a truly quality piece of kitchen equipment and a wonderful breath of fresh air in contrast to all the Chinese-manufactured junk that's flooding the markets everywhere nowadays. Upon opening the box and unpacking this beautiful item I was transported back to the '70's and '80's when so many high quality Japanese-made items were standard fare and reasonably priced. Unfortunately now, to get this quality it costs the big bucks, but in a piece of equipment like this that can last a lifetime it's worth it.
It just does everything it's supposed to and turns out perfect rice every time as long as you set it for what's in it and measure the rice and water correctly. The inductive heating system is a perfect application here. It's a shame all appliances aren't made with this care and quality but as long as Americans demand low prices in favor of top quality, we'll be filling our landfills fuller and fuller courtesy of China!
