You do pay a lot more for this rice cooker but in this case you DO get what you pay for. We cook rice almost every day and with this Zojirushi there is no more worry about how the rice will turn out. Plus the Keep Warm (and Extended Keep Warm) can keep the rice hot and moist for almost 24 hours. Our kids appreciate the ability of this "rice cooker" to bake cakes even more. All the cakes come out perfect too, just like the rice.
The 5 cup model is not very big and the design is very pleasing to the eye. Does not look anything like the White Cylindrical rice cookers. Quality is top notch and all the components have a nice feel to them. Nothing cheap or plastic in this cooker.
All in all, a great addition to any family that cooks rice frequently.
Pros:
* The timer - awesome! I set a batch of rice in the morning before work, and will have perfect rice ready by the time I come home. Don't forget the display is a 24H clock though, like I did :)
* Extended keep warm cycle - I have set this in the evening with my leftover dinner rice, and had pretty decent rice for breakfast the next morning. Obviously its not the same as fresh cooked rice, but its not bad.
Cons:
* Not a huge deal breaker, but the inner parts aren't dishwasher safe, so I have to wash it all by hand.
