I own two of the Zojirushi Commercial rice cookers but needed more production capability (cooked rice). I was relooking my options (the Zo is more than $400 for the 20 cup commercial). I found this Cuckoo model and did a bit of research. The Cuckoo brand is Korean and is considered to be a top of the line cooker. Pluses: Half the cost of the Zo Commercial cooker. 50% more production capacity than the Zo (30 cup vs 20 cup) per cycle. I bought one of these and used it for about 10 days (we do a 50 pound bag of rice every morning). Both Zo's plus the new Cuckoo helped. After a week, I ordered a second of these Cuckoos. (both of these together cost less than a third zo). I really now prefer the Cuckoos to the Zo's. For us, the capacity of the Cuckoo is perfect (max volume before the lift from the pot becomes too heavy). The fact that there is a third indicator light (shows cooking, steaming, and warming) rather that the two for the Zo (cook and warm) so you don't have to time your warming light to estimate steaming time. When the Cuckoo leaves steam and goes to warm, the rice is ready. I can't speak to longevity yet because the short time I have owned them. I can say they make perfect jasmine, basmati, and sushi style rice, and do it well. v/r rh Read more

One of the best rice cookers I have bought. Read more
Bought this for a commercial kitchen making sushi rice and very happy after months of usage. Works just as well with other varieties of rice too. It’s naturally bulky so be sure to factor your space/storage area dimensions. Read more
I'm only giving this a four star because it doesn't cook rice as well as my pot does. But I use these for slow cooking chicken and beef and it works wonderfully for that! It's one click of a button super easy to use very portable I can take it anywhere and the size is great too you can make a large portion and I really enjoy using these. I have two of them Read more
I love this rice cooker and recommend other to use cuckoo commercial Rice cooker Read more
Have had this product for all of a week. First few days it did well employees could not stop raving about it. How fast it cooked how well the rice came out. Pretty simple rice cooker however, it currently is struggling to stay on. i get the warm light and when i push down the power switch it just immediately turns itself off. For the price i expected this rice cooker to last longer than seven days in a restaurant. I probably cook 8-10 batches through out a day in this pot. and i guess it could not handle the repeated use.
