I've had my Zojirushi rice cooker for probably 3 years now and use it at least 4 times per week. It's bulletproof. The bowl is starting to show its wear, but I'm still in love with the thing.
In addition, I have a Zojirushi countertop water heater for tea and I don't know I lived without that, either. These are expensive gadgets but boy are they convenient.
Next stop, bread maker!

- fluxquanta 11y agoIf you drink any amount of hot drinks, the water boiler is worth it. According to the manual, the 3 liter version draws only 38 watts maintaining 195F/90C water (after the initial boiling cycle).
- Symbiote 11y agoHow is this better than a (European?) jug kettle? The manual I found says this boiler takes 1–2 minutes to boil water from "keep warm" at 98°C, or 3–5 from 90°C. I can boil 1 litre in about 2 minutes with a conventional kettle, or 2 litres in about 4 minutes. Add 25–50% if using an appliance that costs €15 rather than €50. It seems rather wasteful to have something like this at home. It would double the "standby power" use of an average home, even perhaps an American one.[1] [1] http://www.osti.gov/scitech/servlets/purl/795343 http://www.osti.gov/scitech/servlets/purl/795343
