After reading many reviews of this and other rice cookers on Amazon, I opted for the Zojirushi. So far, two months later, it has worked quite well in terms of how it cooks rice and other grains, and I especially like the time-delay that allows me to wake up to hot cereal in the morning. The drawbacks are that food crud gets stuck in the steam outlet and it's hard to remove because the lid doesn't lift off for cleaning. You have to go in with a small toothbrush or bottle brush to get rid of the goop. If you don't, it will cake up and block the vent. There is a removable metal plate in the lid that also gets dirty, but it's hand washable. However, it's rimmed by a pliable gasket that catches water, and takes a long time to air-dry. If you put it back into the rice cooker when it's wet, you can create a breeding ground for bacteria, particularly if you leave the machine unused for several days.
One earlier reviewer mentioned that his Zojirushi died after four years due to an internal circuitry failure, and it was costly to replace the computer. I thought long and hard about this caveat when I ponied up the $175 for the rice cooker. If this happens to mine, I'll have to determine if it was worth it to spend that much on a doomed machine. In the meanwhile, I am moderately satisfied with the machine itself, and am pleased with the way it cooks. I also love the idea of having something that's both "neuro" and "fuzzy" on my countertop. Seems an apt metaphor for the way I live.Get more detail about Zojirushi NS-ZCC10 5-1/2-Cup Neuro Fuzzy Rice Cooker and Warmer, Premium White.
