Five people have tried to figure out setting.

No one can figure out how to set anything on this. We have read and re read the instructions dozens of times and no one can figure it out

Magic Machine

Never knew brown rice could taste this good. My son 11 has instructed me "this is the rice we will always eat now". The basmati came out perfect. If you love gadgets, this is for you.

I have tried other rice cookers, they never worked properly, or cooked the rice properly. This rice cooker is wonderful..... I love love love it. Well worth the money, i probably spent twice the amount trying other cookers. I do recommend it...

Happy with Rice Cooker

I have been very happy with my Zojirushi Neuro Fuzzy Rice Cooker. It cooks white rice to a lovely consistency. It does well with brown rice (it does take quite awhile, because there is a soak cycle before the cooking cycle). And it makes a nice porridge/oatmeal, especially good when the porridge is cooked with some already cooked brown rice. I like the convenience of not having to watch my oatmeal on the stove. I actually make some home-cooked natural foods for my dog, so I like being able to make oatmeal and brown rice without having to monitor, check or watch. Just put in the ingredients, press a couple of buttons and wait. My husband frequently makes white rice. There are many other settings that I haven't explored. The inner surfaces are non-stick and very easy to clean (though you need to wash by hand). It will keep things warm for a very long time. It looks like a white space age helmet or a small white round spaceship on the countertop. It doesn't take up much room. We have it out all the time. I can't really compare with other similar rice cookers. I have only had a cheap one in the past. But I have been quite pleased with this purchase. I did quite a bit of research before buying. Since we don't tend to cook more than 1 or 2 cups of rice at a time, we didn't really need a rice cooker this large.

The rice cooker of my dreams

I purchased this rice cooker from the recommendation from a japanese cooking class I took, because of the great selections of different types of rice you can cook with it. I am a brown rice lover and could not seem to get my short grain brown rice to cook correctly, sticky like the white kind, with this cooker the brown rice came out the way I wanted it, firm and sticky.
