Zojirushi 5.5-Cup Neuro Fuzzy vs Zojirushi Neuro Fuzzy NS-ZCC10

The spatula holder is not easily removable without damage (because it has plastic hooks that allow it to slide in one direction) and I broke mine when I yanked it out for cleaning. But not worth the cost of replacement. How do the parts prices compare to those for, say, Instant Pot? And expensive cooking equipment really should have replacement parts available for parts that wear out. I would not buy from a company that did not offer that

The rice from this cooker is delicious and the process was very simple after discovering that long-grain rice, which is what I eat, is the exception rather than the rule for this cooker. On the Quick Start Guide, a single sheet added to the enclosed paperwork, (and not anywhere in the manual that I could find) it states that the cooker is designed for short and medium grain rice. The Quick Start Guide says that long-grain rice should be cooked using the Mixed rice setting. Fine, except that in the smaller print of the operating manual it says that the Timer function, which I'd like to use, is not available for Mixed rice

Dislike how long it takes to cook, although I expected that it would take longer than using a pot on the stovetop. It is hard to time dinner if the rice is not premade, as the timer does not begin until there is only around 13 minutes left of cooking. Until then you are in the dark for how long the rice will take. Maybe this is because the time will adjust to how quickly the rice is cooking

You just have to get used to it and start cooking rice 40 minutes before you want to eat.

I especially like the stay cool handles on the bowl, which was one of the reasons I chose this model.

The keep warm is bad. The rice you kept warn turned yellow and bad taste. Very disappointed, spent more money but got less positive results than the cheaper Japan made rice pot models.

I wash my rice by putting it into a tall plasticware container with a snap-on lid with some water and shaking it. I put in water, shake, drain off the water through a sane and repeat until the water runs clear. This is important because if the rice isn't washed thoroughly the bran powder will act as an emollient, which will mess up the chemical balance when other ingredients are added and could cause the cooker to boil over. I should note here that I've been washing and cooking rice the Japanese traditional way for years, so it's a bit of a ritual for me

An otherwise perfect product. I got so I could clean it by taking it apart. My rice cooker was stolen by an ex-roommate. I am going to buy another one
