Highlights

Advanced Fuzzy Logic with AI Utilizes Artificial Intelligence to 'learn' from past cooking experiences, automatically adjusting the cooking flow to ensure consistent, ideal results every time.
Pressure Induction Heating (IH) Combines pressurized cooking with superior induction heating to turn beta starch into alpha starch, resulting in rice that is softer, fluffier, and easier to digest.
Platinum Infused Inner Pan Features a 1.7mm platinum-infused nonstick inner cooking pan that alkalizes the water, breaking down the protein on the surface of the rice grain for a sweeter taste.
Versatile Multi-Menu Settings Offers specialized programs for a wide variety of grains, including Jasmine rice, Congee, Steel Cut Oatmeal, GABA brown rice, and a unique Umami setting for enhanced flavor.
Superior Safety & Design Engineered with multiple fail-safe measures for safe pressure cooking, including a large steam vent cap to prevent overflows and sensors to ensure the unit is set up correctly.

Pros & Cons

Pros

  • Superior Rice Quality: The pressure induction heating technology produces perfectly fluffy, sweet, and consistent rice that users claim surpasses restaurant quality and standard fuzzy logic models.
  • Exceptional Keep Warm Function: The machine is highly praised for its ability to keep rice fresh, moist, and delicious for several days without it drying out, yellowing, or developing odors.
  • Versatile Grain Settings: Beyond standard white rice, it delivers excellent results for GABA brown rice, steel-cut oatmeal, and congee, with dedicated settings that handle difficult grains with ease.

Cons

  • Prohibitive Price: The extremely high cost is the most common complaint, with many users finding it difficult to justify the expense despite the high-quality results.
  • Reliability and Part Failures: Several reviewers reported hardware malfunctions shortly after the one-year warranty expired, specifically citing cracked inner lids, steam leaks, and persistent E17 error codes.
  • High Maintenance Cleaning: The unit requires significant effort to maintain, as multiple parts must be disassembled, hand-washed, and dried after every use to prevent starch buildup and odors.

    I was hesitant to purchase because of the price but glad I did. Cooks rice perfectly and keeps it warm for a long time without it getting mushy.

  2. Gaba rice made form regular brown rice and it tastes awesome!

    We bought this rice cooker for my wife and i. we wanted to eat gaba rice. rather than spend a lot of money on buying gaba rice in a bag, this lets you use inexpensive brown rice and get the health benefits of gaba rice. not to mention the taste… this rice cooker makes exceptional rice. we’ve made jasmine white, gaba brown, medium grain white, and jade rice with this so far. never to dry, to wet, always just right. really worth it.

    This inner lid is easily crack with unknown reason, I replaced the crack one after I have this cooker for few months. The new inner lid is crack again on same spot! It’s unacceptable for such a premium product!

  4. This makes rice into a whole new food!

    First, I should mention that I did -not- buy my unit from Amazon. But that’s only because another vendor could “match Amazon’s price” and not charge tax for my state. 🙂

    This rice cooker is absolutely marvelous!

    To me, rice has always been a white glob that had some flavor, but not much. The “grains” mostly stuck together. No matter how often I heard, “Try this new kind of special rice!”… it was all… just rice. Meh.

    But! With this new machine, the grains of rice are… individual grains of rice. It tastes better, it feels better and… it even smells better. In other words, yeah, this is an expensive rice cooker.

    You can probably learn to cook rice on your kitchen stove in a pan you already have. But that’s like saying you can probably roller-skate and surf whenever you need to make a business trip of, say, 1,000 miles. Mebbe possible, but not the best.

    THIS is the Best!

    I had a regular Zoji rice maker for over 9 years till I needed to replace it, so went with this induction and pressure machine. It is amazing as it does cook the rice so much better and with perfect texture.

    Cooks evenly due to the induction/ electromagnetic heating and with the pressure mechanism makes it so good.

    Pricey but worth it. Slower cooking time than regular cooker but rice comes out perfect. Wish they have better cord management system.

    I absolutely hate this rice cooker and I’m sending it back after ruining three meals now. Tell me how this is an AI machine with fuzzy logic when no matter what you put in it in terms of rice and water it runs for 83 minutes exactly, overcooking the brown rice? That’s not artificial intelligence, folks, that’s just programming the “brown rice” setting to run for 83 minutes, circa 1960. It doesn’t seem to have any sensors inside it from what I can tell. And please tell me how “pressure” cooking makes it take even longer to cook brown rice? Does 83 minutes sounds like pressure cooking to you? My last rice cooker took half that time for brown rice. It was pressure cooked alright, to disgusting mush. You throw in the rice and water and hit a button and it comes out perfect: That’s what I expect from a rice cooker. If I have to formulate timing and quantities then where is the AI claim? And why is it not simple like my last two rice cookers?
