Worth the money!
We bought ours nearly four years ago and it is still going strong! We make lots of rice EVERY DAY and it cooks the rice perfectly every time. It is easy to use, easy to clean, and sings us a little tune! We love our Zojirushi!!

Worth the investment.
Growing up my mother had always had a Zojirushi rice cooker, and I had coveted them for many years before deciding finally to purchase my own. Prior to this, I used a cheap Aroma model which was adequate at best and unreliable / ruined rice at worst. When travel to Japan was shut down and my cheaper rice cooker became less and less reliable, I decided to bite the bullet and purchase the 10-cup model (while our family is just three people, we do tend to host large gatherings for family and guests and I wanted the ability to heat/keep rice warm for a crowd and for long periods of time).The price tag on this model is admittedly steep – it is currently the top-of-the-line Zojirushi model available in the US (the highest-end ones on the Japanese market can reach upwards of $1000). Even my husband who is something of a rice connoisseur was skeptical. We initially did two tests with rice we use regularly – Koda Farms Kohuko Rose (our ‘daily’ rice) and Nanatsuboshi rice from Hokkaido (a premium rice). Both came out absolutely perfect – and after many hours on warm were still delicious and not dried out. The difference between this cooker and my cheap one is significant – even our regular ‘daily’ rice tasted nearly as good as the premium stuff: sweeter, fluffier, and fragrant. It does take longer than my old rice cooker, but since the quality isn’t affected by remaining on warm, I tend to prep in advance.We tried other settings – jasmine (for long grain or basmati rice), brown rice, and had the same excellent results each time. The functions and timer are all intuitive and easy to use – you can set ahead the night before and have perfect rice in the morning for tamago gohan or rice with natto. While I was hesitant to spend the money for this machine I am truly glad I did, it is absolutely worth it for our family’s needs.

Simply the best
Look, it’s really expensive. It also makes the best rice you’ll ever cook with virtually no effort, every time.I replaced a worn-out older induction-cooking model, which made excellent rice. This one makes even better rice, as hard as that may be to believe. Cleanup is slightly more complicated due to the additional pressure-valve parts; however, removal of the parts for cleaning is easier.If you frequently eat rice, this is a worthy investment.

It is broken in 57 days!
We ordered this rice cooker for $460.96 on February 9th. It was broken IN 57 DAYS with an error code of E17 on the screen. We contacted Amazon for this, and we were told that the return window was closed in March. Then we contacted Zojirushi customer service department, and we were told that we need to send the cooker to their repair shop in New York. The office closes at 3:30, and today is Friday. We will be unable to cook any rice for a long time.

Great Rice Cooker
The button to open the lid does not function sometimes. Makes great rice and you can keep it warm for a considerable amount of time without losing its flavor.

It is an amazing rice cooker. Not your average cooker, but it is an investment.
If you are serious about your rice, especially sushi rice, then this is a great purchase. It is spendy but it works great, produces great rice and porridges, and is easy to clean. My last Zojirushi rice cooker lasted over 20 years and still works, just ran out of non-stick qualities. I will take better care of this one, and the non-stick surface is much better than prior materials.

Excellent rice/hot cereal cooker
This is my second Zojirushi rice cooker. The other one still works great but I wanted to try this upscale pressurized version. If you like steel-cut oats this is the ticket to consistant results especially if you are on a tight schedule. Just set the local time and set the timer function to the time you want your oatmeal (or whatever) to be ready. Press timer then Start and your oatmeal will be perfectly cooked at the time you set. Just make sure you throughly wash (I usually rinse about three to four cycles) the rice or oats before cooking. Also remember to clean the inside of the cooker each time you use it.

Works as described

Definitely more than I would have liked to have paid, but my wife was insistent/you actually can taste the difference between it and other rice cookers… If you maintain it well and it lasts for years, it’s not that expensive when spread out over a decade. Will see how long I can make it last

I have been through many rice cookers, this is easily the best. The pressure cooking makes a huge difference to the texture of the rice.

This cooker is awesome for sticky rice, comes out perfectly every time! The water markings on the inner pot should be used as a guide. For my taste and a firmer rice I found a bit less water was needed than indicated. Also cooked basmati rice and sushi rice with this and as expected,perfection.The cleaning isn’t bad if you wash the rice. When I am done cooking all I need to do is wipe the water/condensation from the inner lid and steam vent components. A paper towel, a quick wipe and it’s clean.Haven’t tried the timer function yet, no comments.

I bought my first Zojirushi rice cooker over 20 years when I was a bachelor. It had worked well for me, but no longer not big enough to feed my young family. So I invested a larger the top of line rice cooker. After two months of use, it makes good rice as before, but the design is too complicated and has many parts to clean. In hindsight I should have stayed with a simpler and less expensive model, and still makes the good rice.
