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.

    The perfect rice cooker that I found so far I pretty much use it every day and my rice has been delicious every time I only make enough for one at a time which is when works perfectly. Gives me the option. Also if I need to make more.

    Excellent 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.

  4. Good quality and easy to use

    I have owned many rice cookers before including other versions of Zojirushi. But this model was worth every dollar spent. The rice comes out picture perfect each time. とてもうれしいです☺️

    I 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.
