I bought this on Amazon, it was a tough choice but I LOVE this thing.  I have made GABA rice, short Grain white rice, Black Forbidden rice, sticky rice and my favorite thing to make in this.. Rice Pudding.   It is so easy to use, so easy to clean and so far does what it is made to do, make great rice without any real effort on the part of the cook. Rice Pudding: 1 cup of Nishiki Premium Rice, medium grain, using the measuring cup that comes with the machine (its not a standard cup so this is important) You can use what ever white rice you want but this is the one I like the most right now. 1 can of Coconut Milk.  Standard Half cup of Sugar, I use organic Cane Sugar 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract Milk - to fill the rest of the liquid Rinse rice,  add all of the ingredients, then fill the rest up with milk until it reached the 1 cup marker in the pot for Porridge. Give it a gentle stir Close lid Set the machine for Porridge Start machine Wait for the melody that lets you know it is done Stir well in the pot.  This makes sure the rice is not clumped and distributes it throughout the pudding I let it sit for another half hour after this on the Warming mode.  It will allow the rice to get just a little softer. Put it in the fridge or eat it warm.  I like to sprinkle some Cinnamon on it.  Its good with Mangos as well.

Beware European buyers, this is a 120V device. I "used" it few seconds. Fume + spark + noise, a complete firework. Great Massdrop, thank you for letting me buying this from Europe with important transport fees. Now I got a useless durable memories of you Massdrop.

Personally given the quality concerns (as noted by others below) I'm not sure why anyone would pay this much for this cooker. It seems to me that all you are really paying for is a cheap rice cooker (quality wise) and a number of programmed cooking settings (vs cheaper ones?) But in fairness I haven't done a ton of research.
I use an electric pressure cooker to cook rice, specifically the Breville, which seems to me to be significantly better investment for the same amount of money. Super high quality, cooks perfect rice in 10 minutes, and it's a pressure cooker (so it does a lot more).
I could be missing something as to the value here over an electric pressure cooker?

SantiagoDracoDid a bit of research... :) So the real benefit of a unit like this is the programmed cooking settings for different types of rice. So I guess the moral of the story is that if you just want simple rice variants then the pressure cooker is probably the way to go. If you are after a wide variety of rice types/techniques then a unit like this is good.
I'll stick with the electric pressure cooker as I'm more of the simple rice kind of person, for now.

Not familiar with this rice cooker. Can you also steam vegetables in them (or does zojirushi in general make rice cookers with the ability to steam vegetables)?

I've had one of these for a couple of years now. It's pretty much in constant use and makes incredible rice every time. Love the GABA Brown setting! Couple of things to factor into your decision whether to buy a $250 cooker vs a $75 one that is almost as good. The stainless exterior dents very easily. Mine is covered with dents from normal household use. The non stick coating on the inner pot deteriorates fast. If it gets so much as touched with anything other than a wood or plastic rice paddle or a sponge it will scratch and then start to peel up exposing the aluminum liner. I've already replaced that part ($85!) once. I've been super careful with the replacement and in spite of this it already has a deep scratch on the rim. Unlike cheaper models by Zojirushi and other brands, the power cord is not retractable so it is ugly and dangles annoyingly if you bring your cooker to the table to serve from. Again, unlike the cheaper units, there is no reheat function. The display does not indicate how much time left until the rice is done. My feeling is that Zojirushi has not updated the design on these as they don't sell enough of them to make it worthwhile, so basically you are getting 10 year old technology and design with this model. The cheaper units are more up to date IMO. But yes it does make fantastic rice. My 5 cup version will make 4 cups of brown rice BTW--but the Japanese "cup" measurement is 1/3 less than an 8oz American cup.

I'm going for the 10 cup.
Amazon has it for about $270, which is about $6 more than what it comes out for me here.
Normally, I would pay a little extra for the hassle-free Prime shipping and returns, but I pay tax on Amazon, and that would add over $27 to the price for me. So getting it here is a better deal for me.
Fresh rice every day is the best. For a couple of people, the 3 cup model would work best for daily rice.
But that also requires prep, cooking, and cleanup every time you use the cooker.
For my lifestyle, it's much more sustainable to cook a big batch and eat it over several days.
I do the same with stews and other foods. I'll often portion out meals and refrigerate or freeze them for easy eating over the week. I just don't have time for all the cleanup every day.
But fresh rice every day is alway best, so if you can do it, kudos.

ryan92084The way we do it in Japan is to cook the maximum amount and then wrap up single-serving pucks of rice in Saran wrap and freeze them. Japanese microwave ovens even have special settings for frozen rice.
This saves cooking time -- 30 minutes even on the speed setting with pre-washed rice -- and eliminates wash up, which is getting to be more and more of a pain as manufacturers add unnessesary and complicating "features" to their rice cookers, with more parts to disassemble and clean.
For some dishes, like fried rice, (naturally) defrosted frozen rice is better anyway.

I own this rice cooker, and it's one of my favorite appliances. It does such a good job at everything. My favorite function is the timer, so I can set rice to finish cooking when I get home from work, or set oatmeal to be ready in the morning.
It's great!

FartTouch+1 for the username. I have one of these, and my roommate likes to leave it on Keep Warm all day. I think it's time for them to learn about the timer function.
