Amazon.com Review
Equipped with a locking lid and a steam cap/vent to preserve moisture, this 420-watt electric appliance produces 1 to 5 cups of cooked rice and then automatically keeps the rice fresh, moist, and warm for hours. About 30 minutes is required to cook 5 cups, with an additional 15 minutes of warming recommended for maximum fluffiness. The cooker operates simply. There's a single control to begin the cooking process, and lights signal when cooking ends and warming begins. Inside the white-plastic, cool-touch exterior, a nonstick pan readily releases cooked rice and then cleans up easily. Accompanying the cooker are a rice spatula, a spatula holder that hooks onto the cooker's side, and a plastic measuring cup. The cooker measures 9-1/2 inches wide, 8-3/4 inches high, and 12-1/2 inches deep, weighs 5-3/4 pounds, and can be lifted by handles recessed into the sides. --Fred Brack

simple but good rice cooker May 9, 2010
art tanaka (so az)
this is a basic but good rice cooker. the 5-cup capacity is perfect, i usually cook 3 cups of rice, for my two boys and me. it usually lasts around three or four days; the rice is perfect for two days and starts to dry out after the third day. btw, when i feel energetic i saran wrap single-servings of the three-day or older rice. a quick nuke will bring back the fresh tasting rice.
my mom has a more expensive sanyo to cook a mixture of brown and white rice. the sanyo cooks the mixture along with regular white rice well. i'm extremely happy with my zojirushi because it cooks my white rice just as well and is priced about a third of the sanyo.
this cooker has a two-piece moisture controller and a dew collector. i've not read the directions but assume the moisture controller needs washing; it's a bit of a hassle for me. and the collector needs to be emptied; not a hassle. because of the pricing and quality of rice the above comments are pretty much a non-factor.

Little things about this rice cooker are just dumb.
1) There is no easy way to pick it up (my old one, more than 10 years old, had a handle on top).
2) When you do pick it up to put it away, if you touch the apparatus that holds the spoon, the apparatus and spoon fall off on the floor.
3) There is no retractable cord (my 10-year old rice cooker had one), so you have to hold the cooker awkwardly with one hand and wrap the cord round and round on the underside. When you complete the wraparound, the plug doesn't fit in the space meant for it--you wrapped the cord a little too tight or not tight enough. So you have to start over, eventually give up, and either store the cooker teetering on its plug or double the cord back on itself right before the plug.
4) The lid opens when you press a kind of lever. The lever is not quite large enough to press comfortably, and when you press it, it moves suddenly, your finger slips off, and its ridges hurt.
I've cooked one cup of brown rice in it so far. No problems there, although it did spit some, leaving me wondering how much it will spit if I cook more than one cup at a time.
So now I have to pay for shipping to send it back.

I purchased this rice cooker for our son, who is away at college, living in an apartment. He said the rice cooker works really well. I also purchased a rice cooker cookbook and he used a recipe from it last week. He made spanish rice and said it turned out really good although next time he will use a little more liquid. Regular rice, on the other hand, turns out perfect. Some people in other reviews had said there were puddles of water that accumulated around the rice cooker on the countertop. Our son said as long as you use the water catcher that comes with the cooker, there will be no puddles. Everyone needs to make sure to read the directions first. He also said clean up is a breeze.

Excellent product. We could not afford the much better version of this brand but did not want to settle for a lesser brand. So we chose the cheaper model in hopes the quality and reputation of the company was not sacrificed. After over a month of using it we can say our gamble was on the money. The rice comes out excellent. Much better than our $40 dollar no name brand. Would recommend it this to anyone.

If you need small amounts of white rice done right...this is your cooker. Instructions are minimal and so best be an adventurer to figure out what it means and to do other things like brown rice which the instructions prohibit. Thought it would be a bit more flexible and still experimenting with something other than white rice. But white rice will be done right everytime! You do have to watch when it switches between cook and warm to catch it and stir the rice otherwise a brown crust on rice. Learned this from reading other's reviews. Doesn't get any simpler for making white rice though! Still debating whether the price paid was a little high considering what you can do with it but ultimately choose this one because it was not rated with some other problems that cheaper ones supposedly had.
