 Was not sure I needed a stand alone rice cooker but . . . May 17, 2008
Mr. Lynn E. Bailey (Round Rock, TX United States)
I was not sure if I really needed a stand alone cooker for rice but once you try one of these, you quickly understand the value.
If you are looking for a rice cooker for sushi, this one does the trick. In addition it does a good job with that elusive brown rice as well. One thing that I am now currently enjoying is the use of this cooker to cook rice congee (gruel). If you are one to enjoy oatmeal this is a good and equally healthy substitute. Note that this particular cooker is actually manufactured in China rather than Japan. However I have not seen any quality problems to date.
One thing is to be sure that you wipe the steamer trap lid after every use. If you do not you will quickly get a rust colour stain on the top of your cooker. This particular requirement is why the four stars as opposed to five.
 Great food to be found RIGHT HERE April 23, 2008

For a family of 2 - 5, this is the key to healthy eating. From porrage to rice, cream of wheat to oatmeal, this cooker is the bomb. You can use the timer for a warm breakfast treat or for preparing the base for a healthy supper. If you can see, you can make perfect food.... come to think about it, if you can measure... you really don't even need to be able to see. It is worth every penny and more. BTW, this is the least expensive place to buy it. I spent hours looking, from eBay to the mall, and everywhere else, and this is the place, rest assured. You found it, now buy it, there will never be a regret. Good luck and good eating.

I suppose you get what you pay for. This thing takes "making rice" to the next level. Really, how much you value something like this depends a lot on how much you value rice. If you're the kind of person that thinks... "Hmm. Rice? I can take it or leave it." --well, don't waste your time. A $20 rice-maker will do you well and last forever. They're about as complicated, technologically, as toasters.
But if you think you might have inclinations to rice-snobbery... well, you can't do any better than the Japanese. This thing *plays music* when it's finished. It is the ultimate in lazy cookware: it keeps your rice fresh and warm *days* after you've made it. Heck, it makes BROWN rice taste decent. That's rice-voodoo. But it will cost you.
Yeah!!! I can finally cook rice!!! March 26, 2008

After years of my husband making fun of me because I couldn't properly cook rice on the stove, I finally broke down and bought a rice cooker. A Japanese friend suggested Zojirushi, so I did some researching before purchasing this model.
I don't have a huge group to cook for, just our family of four, but I do entertain quite often so I bought this model instead of the smaller 3 cup model just incase I ever needed it.
So far, I've made white rice and oatmeal in the rice cooker. Both turned out perfectly! My husband mentioned that this was the best rice he'd ever eaten and kept pointing out how each grain was perfect, not a sticky mess like our usual rice.
For the oatmeal, I used a "recipe" mentioned in another Amazon review (1 rice cooker cup steel cut oats, 2.5 cooker cups water and a dash of salt). I used the timer function on the rice cooker so that it was ready when I woke up in the morning. I've had the rice cooker for a week and made the oatmeal three times already! It's a nice treat. (For the record, my very picky 1 year old loved hers with a little brown sugar and some dried cherries mixed in).
Clean up is a breeze. Both the rice and oatmeal cooked without scorching and the pan cleaned up quickly. Not a speck stuck to the side.
People have complained about having to wipe out the top lid each time you cook. I really don't understand the complaint. This takes all of 5 seconds and there's no mess to scrub, just maybe a drip of water.
I am very happy that I finally broke down and shelled out the money for a decent rice cooker. I could have gotten a cheaper one, but would I be enjoying fabulous oatmeal first thing in the morning? No, and I'd probably be replacing it within a year, from what people have told me.
Perfect Size & Perfect Rice - Glad I Got This Instead of the NS-LAC05 March 3, 2008

Just got this rice cooker this afternoon & immediately tried it out making one "Zojirushi cup" of sticky short grain white rice I bought at a Japanese grocery store. I just finished gobbling it up with a little soy sauce and it was DELICIOUS! The rice came out perfectly - nice and sticky (I can't wait to make some sushi with it!), but not watery at all and cooked perfectly.
I was really torn between this model and Zojirushi's NS-LAC05 3-Cup model. Most of the time, I will be cooking rice for only 2 people, so the 3-Cup NS-LAC05 seemed ideal. But, on the other hand, I liked the flexibility of getting this bigger 5 1/2-Cup model - e.g., when having company over for dinner, or for cooking "one pot" rice-based dishes - I thought I could use the extra room in both cases. And, this bigger model can make cakes, where as the 3-Cup is too small. The only thing that worried me about getting this bigger model was I wondered if it would cook a small amount (i.e., one "Zojirushi cup") of plain rice as well as the smaller model - after all, that is what I would be doing most of the time.
Well, the flexibility won out in the end (as well as the surprisingly lower price of the NS-TGC10 on Amazon - $10 cheaper than the smaller NS-LAC05). And my worries about making a small amount of plain rice in the NS-TGC10 turned out to be unfounded as I discovered in my test run.
So, if you are torn between these two Zojirushi models, I recommend this one - $10 cheaper & more flexibilty. Plus, judging from the dimensions of both, it is not much bigger than the NS-LAC05 so it won't take up significantly more kitchen counter space.
