Zojirushi Neuro Fuzzy NS-ZCC10 vs Zojirushi NS-ZCC18

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

5 hours for brown rice). I’m going for a normal rice cooker now. The fuzzy logic will ensure that each batch of rice will end up with the same texture, the kind you get when you make Japanese style medium grain rice. It handles that perfectly

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

We bought this, I believe about two years ago now these are so far. We'Ve actually got a couple: their appliances, we've got a hot water, ting drink, ...

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

The rice has been cooked perfectly the dozen or so times we've used it. The only drawback is that the cooking time is notably longer than our previous unit.

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 chose this particular model of Zojirushi, despite the slightly higher price, because, unlike others from the same brand, it is made in Japan. I was not disappointed: it is extremely well made, and can handle a relatively large amount of rice. While you can buy a basic rice cooker for as little as $30, the much higher price of this one compared to the basic rice cookers is due to the following characteristics, which, in my opinion, are well worth spending more for: 1) Variable temperature and cooking time (compared to a fixed preset temperature/time combination): important as you experiment with different kinds of rice, such as brown, white, sushi, basmati etc. Each needs a different temperature/time combination: you make the first choice from a menu list on the front panel, then the machine further adjusts it while cooking using its "fuzzy" logic

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

.. this thing is a pain to clean, the lid accumulates water and grows fungus, so EVERY SINGLE TIME you need to remove the lid and clean it, along with wiping the crevice that is built into the unit for steam release
