Pros & Cons
Pros
This rice cooker is awesome. It is adorable. It gets my thumbs up.
The zojirushi has a retractable cord. The non-stick rice bowl cleans up easily.
Zojirushi cooks rice to perfection. The rice now comes out moist and not burnt at all. Have been using this for making stir-fry.
The rice cooker is made in japan and apparently the most popular cooker in japan. I love the happy chimes it produces. And it makes delicious rice.
Cons
Rice gets soaked in water and over expands by the time it's done cooking. Horrible customer service.
Highlights
Quality

Before this, the only way that worked was steaming rice soaked for several hours.
Price
Yes, the price is high but after doing the math this machine is so very worth it.
From that perspective alone, this machine is well worth the initial cost.
I decided to get a cheap one, but it was horrible.
This machine has more than paid for itself with how long it has lasted.
Shipping
There are some minor quibbles - delivery was delayed 3 days, but that wasn't a big deal.
My expectations were high but it definitely delivered.
Competitiveness
Very nice pot compared to others brand, the rice turn out very nice after cooked, it stays fresh after hours.
Well, this is seriously the best money can buy within the north american market!
There's a stark difference between the quality of the rice cooked from this cooker comparing to other regular rice cookers.
Noticeably better than less expensive rice cookers but only if you’re really picky about the quality of your rice.

Pro tip the liquid measure lines in the pot are for the clear cup that comes with the machine not a standard 1 cup measure

Theres no countdown timer and the one that pops up 15min till its done is incredibly unreliable so its best to simply set a time for it to finish at instead

The unfortunate part is the rice measurements in the instructions are in nonstandard cups
