Zojirushi NL-GAC10BM 5 5 Cup Uncooked Umami Micom Rice Cooker and Warmer Metallic Black

Makes incredible rice. We originally had an aroma brand rice cooker that was gifted to us, but after having lived in Japan, we knew we wanted a rice cooker that made the same level of quality. It has been so easy to use and clean, and we really love the timer function as we often have some rice with breakfast- we can prepare it before bed and have perfect, fresh rice in the busiest of mornings. It is about the same size as the aroma 10 cup cooker, but I find it's definitely worth the upgrade for the quality you receive. It also looks much nicer than the aroma cooker, so we don't mind it staying out on the counter next to the mixer. Read more

I never knew how good rice could be before i bought a rice cooker. a friend (with japanese children) recommended this because he's had it for 10 years and never had any issues. all the reviews i saw showed the same - the more expensive japanese built is the best, and so far, it seems to be true. extremely easy to use (literally put rice and water in the bowl and press start) easy to clean (just remove the bowl and wash) i've made absolutely perfect rice every time. this is a device that is worth the money, buy it once, buy for life.

This is the best rice cooker I’ve had. Takes longer to cook but cooks rice to a perfect consistency every time. Read more

LOVE this rice cooker! It holds sooo much rice, I've been using it to meal prep and it makes the best tasting rice! Very easy to clean. Read more

Well, it's my first ever rice cooker, so I can't say I'm an expert on the subject. But, I have heard a lot of issues people have with rice cookers is that it burns on the bottom or it doesn't cook right; I can say with certainty this rice cooks to perfection. It has nice little instructions on how to correctly/adequately wash the rice and comes with a neat little spoon/spatula thing I can't remember the name of at this moment, which makes fluffing the rice and mixing it when making sweet/sushi rice so much easier. Love the little markings on the inside so I don't have to measure anything but the rice itself. Highly recommend getting this for quick, simple, and absolutely amazing tasting rice, but it is a little pricy and worth it to me. Read more

I got my sone this as a gift last Christmas (it was on his list), and he loves it. Never overcooks the rice and seems to hold it without scorching. Nice unit, according to my son. Read more

I was debating about buying a rice cooker for many years. I have made rice in instant pot and microwave for many years. I give away my rice cooker (take up too much room). I finally decided to buy a new rice cooker. After some research, I decided on Zojirushi brand but not sure which model. Finally bought this model because it was on sale. Zojirushi rice cooker is expensive and hard for me to justify buying it. Long story short, it produces best rice I ever made. Beats National Rice cooker I had, Instant Pot and Breville microwave. The best part is it make brown rice so soft and no one complains about eating brown rice anymore. You can make sweet rice without soaking. Now I wish I bought a model up. Also wish I can find recipes to make Japanese cake and non rice dishes in it (my old rice cooker you can cook a meal in them). Read more
