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.

Fantastic rice cooker
Verified purchase Verified purchase: This reviewer bought the product.Andrew October 23, 2025Review source: AmazonExcellent rice cooker, I’ve used it for several years without issues. Makes very good rice, may not be worth the price for some people but the quality makes it a good investment, especially if you cook a lot of rice. The umami setting takes 74 minutes to cook, and the quick setting takes 34 minutes to cook.

Amazed
Verified purchase Verified purchase: This reviewer bought the product.michael w September 4, 2025Review source: AmazonI just returned the cuckoo $500 rice cooker because I tried to do a quick cook function and the rice came out so incredibly hard. It was terrible. now I know that the quick cook function is typically the worst setting that you can use, but we don’t always have 70 minutes to cook rice. So I bought this rice cooker just to try the quick function and let me tell you it was WELL cooked rice in just 35 minutes. This is really what I want. I wanted something that I could make rice very quickly while I was making something else and the rice would still be good enough to eat. If this is the worst quality rice this thing makes I am astounded because I know the other settings will be even better. The only thing I don’t like about it is the price, but I had a rice cooker before and I’ve had that thing lasted 15 years. I think it’s worth the investment overtime.
