I own both the Zojirushi Neuro Fuzzy 5.5 cup and the Induction Pressure 10 cup (NP-NCW 18). The Nuero Fuzzy is an excellent choice, but the Induction Cooker has other options like Jasmine Rice, and the texture of the rice taste better than cooking in White Rice or Quick cooking function. I've owned 3 different Tiger Rice Cookers, and Zojirushi is superior. I forgot to mention that both Zojitushi Fuzzy or Induction Pressure rice cooker doesn't smell bad, or change color after leaving it warm function for more than 48 hours. As for my Tiger Rice cookers, the rice smelled bad, and changed color after 16 hours.
Amazon page says this model is made in Japan for those interested.
This is the gold standard rice cooker across east and south Asian homes. Almost every friend's home I went to growing up had a zojirushi.

The neuro fuzzy logic chip allows the rice cooker to make fine adjustments to temp, time, and pressure to make the perfect rice every time. You can cook rice and keep it in the cooker for 3-4 days. My parents has had theirs for 20 years and it works as good as it did on day one.

I would consider this one of few buy it for life items.

Is the $50 cuckoo from Walmart a decent alternative?

this looks so outdated and something from the 90s lol

I would get the cuckoo with twin pressure from costco or spend a little more for induction heating models from costco next (https://costco.cuckooamerica.com/...ssentials) or amazon.

All highend rice cooker models are equiped with dual pressure and IH heating - just upgraded my 10 year old cuckoo to new one and love it.
Bought this red one from macys recently. Was briefly on sale for about $55. Family hasn't used it yet though. Walmart had different shape white version thay seems to be $50 regularly https://www.macys.com/shop/produc...ID=6866422

Exactly the same question I have. I don't understand why these are so much more than regular rice cookers or even the ones that have like 6 different kinds of cookers (pressure cooker, rice cooker, etc.) for only $50 or less. Can someone please educate us on why this kind of rice cooker is worth almost $200

I have a $300 one, I can say that there is no magic for 'made in Japan'. Just buy a regular rice cooker.

Ive had a Zojirushi for 15 years. I tried to replace it with another brand and it was a disappointment. My Zojirushi can keep rice perfect for two or three days, The brand from Costco had dry rice after just half a day.

I don't know anything about the Walmart product, but the pressurized Japanese rice cookers do a great job of making fluffy tasty rice every time. Even if you don't eat the rice immediately after it is done, the automatic "keep warm" mode keeps the rice tasting great for an hour or more after it is finished. Is it worth the money? That depends a lot of how often you cook rice. I now some families that cook rice every day.

It isn't. It's a device that does one thing exceedingly well. If you are happy with your rice method and results there's no reason to spend $170 on one. It takes longer than an instant pot* and the cooker even takes longer than on the stove. It takes up space in your cabinets or countertop.

I bought one 20 years ago - much to the chagrin of my wife, who wondered why I would waste over $100 on a rice cooker. 12 years, and hundreds of rice preps later, I made an error in trying to make porridge in it and damaged it. She required I get a new one as soon as I found one under $200. We still have/use it exclusively for rice. Its consistency and simplicity is a convenience.


*my sister swears by her 10 minute instant pot rice method. I've tasted it. She enjoys her instant pot so I don't tell her that her rice is terrible, and I just take a small serving to be polite.
