As good as everyone said! Wow! My brother suggested getting one of these but I kept putting off because of cost and he had the 5 cup version. It was only because Amazon had this 3 cup version that I broke down. (It's was actually a few dollars more expensive than the bigger version!) The toughest test was how it would cook this crazy mix of brown rice and a variety of beans I had gotten from a local Korean market. With the old basic rice cooker, I never could figure out the proper water to rice ration ending up usually with a horrible glutinous mess that was not palatable. Since there really wasn't a setting for the kind of mixture, I used the GABA brown rice setting and the results have been FABULOUS!!Update: 1/28/17 BEST brown rice I've ever eaten anywhere after using the GABA brown rice setting. I also made some steel cut oats using that setting. The only draw back is that it takes an hr. 5Disappointed with the inaccurate measuring lines I'm a bit disappointed with this model. I hesitated buying it originally because it is a made in China model rather than a Japanese model so it's made for the export market. However, I ended up purchasing it because of the brand. I eat rice multiple times a week and used to have a tiger rice cooker.I like the size of the cooker; it's perfect for one or two people. However the first time I made rice (short grain), it was really soggy/mushy.The second time I had the same result. I used the cup provided and followed the line on the bowl, so I'm not sure what the issue is. But now I just have learned to put in water so that it's lower (by quite a bit) than the line on the bowl. That gives me the right consistency.But it's disappointing to have to make those adjustments after having spent good money. Otherwise I do like the design of the machine. Removing the top is very easy although I noticed a little plastic piece hanging. Again, I think the quality is not there because it wasn't made in Japan. I will probably consider replacing with a made in Japan model in the future. 3Best rice cooker ever! This is the best rice cooker I've ever owned - it cooks rice beautifully! The first batch of rice was a learning experience - I had some basic inexpensive rice I'd bought from my local grocery store, and while the manual says to wash the rice before cooking it, the rice I had said "do not wash or rinse" due to it being enriched. So, I cooked it without rinsing it, and it turned into a somewhat mushy mess - likely due to not washing it. The second batch was made with some Japanese rice I picked up from my local international market, and I washed it as instructed and cooked it - and it came out PERFECTLY. I'd suggest sticking with rice that doesn't say "don't wash this" on the front - it'll be a much better rice experience.Plus, I get great amusement whenever the rice cooker sings to tell me the rice is done, haha. 5Not your Mother's rice cooker. In March 2019 bought second one for single daughter. So happy! This rice cooker is wonderful. I've made steel cut oats. Beautiful properly cooked brown rice (so that's what it's supposed to taste and look like). Also made Gaba rice. I'm having a hard time going back regular white rice. Especially after eating brown rice cooked in my new Zojirushi. Since my kids moved out, I no longer needed the larger rice cooker. I was tired of cleaning the larger cooker and am thrilled with the amount of counter space the 3 Cup cooker takes. It's too cute and does so many other things. Like cooks rice, meat and veggies, all at once. I just tried the Gaba yesterday and plan to explore other uses soon. Highly recommend because it's compact, easy to clean, promotes healthy eating and versatility. This is not my Mother's rice pot. 5Buy this. Seriously, buy this. Honestly, I was going to write a review asking if you wanted perfect rice on your schedule - but I quickly realized that review would not do this product justice. The five batches of rice I have made with this (jasmine, sticky, and basmati) have turned out better than you'd expect in restaurants in the US. Don't let the price disuade you, this is one product you won't be sorry you purchased. In fact there are several models above this that are probably even better but this is good enough for me. I did not receive this product at any sort of discount.Three steps to good rice: Buy a rice cleaner, buy a storage container for your rice and buy this cooker 5Slow but produces good quality rice. Dependable and perfect for small households. I have had a Cuckoo for 3 years, which I bought and used in Korea and Europe. It never failed, was consistent in producing good rice, and was dirt cheap. I think I got it for like 60,000krw (roughly 50usd). It was basic and small with a 3-cup capacity. We are a 2 person household so more than that is overkill. It was a reliable rice cooker and I loved it.Now that I moved to the US, I needed a rice cooker that was 110v. I was leaning towards Japanese rice cookers because they are a 110v country. The problem with browsing rice cookers on Amazon is the results mostly lean towards the bigger size. Small ones are generally regular manual rice cookers. It's also quite hard to judge the reviews because most Americans don't have rice cookers, so any rice produced with rice cookers would be heavenly for them, thus having a "best rice ever" headline. I had to sift through reviews and find ones made by people who have had ricer cookers prior to this purchase.I decided on this rice cooker because it looked sleek and has a lot of cooking options, and at the same time, it was the perfect size for my counter and had the correct capacity. It is also similar to my Cuckoo one, except for 2-3 more settings. It produces the same quality rice, but this takes way longer.For 1 cup uncooked rice, this rice cooker needs 60mins to produce normal white fluffy rice, whereas my Cuckoo could do it in 20-30mins. I don't know if this is due to voltage difference or just manufacturer preference since I haven't tried the 110v of my old Cuckoo (which Amazon sells). This rice cooker does have a "quick" option which allows a user to have rice in around 20mins, but not as soft as the 60min option. This is understandable because slow cooking rice will always be better. This is NOT the BEST rice ever, in my opinion, but both my Cuckoo and this Zojirushi produced comparable rice quality, good enough for daily meals, and way better than manually boiling rice on a pot.It does not burn the bottom rice. It keeps rice warm and moist. There is no congee option, but I find that the oatmeal function works well, but you have to experiment with water ratio. TIP: After soaking for an hour or so, crush the uncooked rice with your hands then use that in the rice cooker. It is very easy to clean.This brand is quite popular in Japan, and I now understand why. This is the most basic model, but it still produces good rice. I have yet to try their fancier models with pressure options for faster cooking. For now, this model works wonderfully, fits my family's needs, and is priced appropriately. 5Great for steel cut oats and rice Pros: I read other reviews talking about steel cut oats. So I bought steel cut oats for the first time and tried it in my new 3 cup Zojirushi rice cooker. I will never go back to rolled oats. This is so good! I use the rice cup for these measures: 1/4 oats, 1/2 whole milk and 1/2 water. I put it in cooker first thing in the morning. I come back an hour later to a wonderful breakfast. So simple! The steel cut oats have a better texture. If you ever felt you were gagging down oatmeal due to the texture, give steel oats a try. This cooker is great for small single servings. It does not overcook or stick.This is great for the basmati rice I use. It is less sticky than cooking it in Instant Pot. It is a step up, but IP rice is good enough for me. So it is the steel cut oats feature that really has me enthusiastic. I keep this Zojirushi on my counter and use it almost every day. Sometimes twice a day.Cons: I was surprised at how small this is. I cook for 1 to 3 people and it is perfect. If you cook for big eaters or more people, you would do better with a larger size. 5Does exactly what I want it to do. I've had this rice cooker for about 8 weeks now, and I love it. I've used it to make "sweet" rice, medium-grain white rice, long-grain brown rice, and steel cut oatmeal (actually have oatmeal cooking in it as I write this).While there is an option to set the cooking duration manually, I've never had a reason to do that: the pre-sets work wonderfully.Read the instructions. Read the instructions. Read the instructions. If you want rice in a "minute," a rice cooker is not for you. Go buy a red box of rice/gravel. This is real cooking, with real prep required. It's not hard, but if your idea of cooking is popping a frozen dinner into a microwave, or adding water to pancake mix, you don't really "cook" and might be tempted to skip the directions and "wing it." In such instances, poor results are not Zojirushi's fault.Rarely do I purchase an item that does exactly what I want it to do, and does it very well. This rice cooker does just that.My only regret is that I did not purchase a model with a basket, for steaming other ingredients (veggies, mostly). However, I've found a work-around. I typically start thawing my frozen veggies when I start the rice cooker, by pouring them onto a dinner plate and letting them warm on the countertop (typically small veggies like peas, diced carrots, corn). When the cooker goes into its warming mode after cooking (roughly an hour), I add my thawed/partially thawed ingredients with any fresh ingredients (like diced peppers and onions, sliced almonds), and stir them in. Then I get to work on my protein. By the time the meat's cooked, the rice mixture is hot and ready.Time for oatmeal! 5"You Can't Go Wrong With Zojirushi Products and This Rice Cooker Is No Exception!!" Well Folks,This is my third Zojirushi Rice cooker! My first Zojirushi Rice cooker was a 10 cup cooker I purchased at the PX in 1998. It just gave up the ghost in April 2017 after about 19 years of hard service! I replaced it with the newer model: #HCC-18XH 10 cup! Wow, what a cooker, Oh Man have they come a long way over these many years! I am so pleased with it, I purchased a third Zojirushi this month, a model #NS-LGC-05XB 3 cup! I will be using this little guy in our 40 foot Alfa SeeYa Motorhome. I have already made about 20 cups of different types and styles of rice with it. What a snap and ease of use etc. and the bottom line is "Outstanding Rice In Every Cup Made". I have many Zojirushi kitchen appliances, all still going and I have never had a problem other than just wearing the things out with heavy use over many years of service! This is a great company with a great product, across the board, bar-none!!I am a very well pleased Zojirushi return and lifetime customer!V/R Kent 5Perfect rice! I own a 10 cup Tiger brand rice cooker, and it makes great rice. With our children now grown, I needed a smaller capacity rice cooker. We've tried lower cost rice cookers, and their quality is inconsistent, and they generally are very messy. After reading reviews of the Zojirushi, I decided to take the plunge, and I am so glad I did. We've made rice only 2 times so far (3 cups, the max, for a dinner with the kids, and 1 cup for my wife and myself), and the rice was perfect each time. The construction is very sturdy, the controls are easy to use / understand, and while we've not tried the other settings (eg sushi, oatmeal, brown rice, etc.), I'm fairly sure those will turn out well too. If the quality of your rice is important to your meal and your guests, I highly recommend this Jorirushi. Two 'downsides' that are really not important. First, it is a tad larger than our budget rice cookers, and the cook time is longer than what we've grown accustomed to. However the quality of the rice makes this a no-brainer purchase decision! 5
