As far as this rice cooker goes, I think it's the same model we bought last year and we love it. The default ratio for white rice was a little too wet for our tastes. After tweaking it a little, we now get perfectly cooked rice every time.
For anyone curious, I think the initial ratio was 1 full "cup" of white rice using their little plastic cup and fill the water to the 1 line. We simply started using one real cup (via measuring cup) with water to the 1 line and it's perfect.
But seriously, as a n00b, are these really much better at cooking rice compared to my instant pot? Is it actually worth the separate purchase? Genuinely curious because I do sometimes have issues with the rice coming out "oatmealy" if I use too much water.

Does this one play the music when done?
hopefully someone can chime in.
Looks like warmer function is at 140 F, like other Zojirushis.
My 96 year old grandmother brews these ginseng herbal drinks and leaves stove on for hours unattended on low heat. Its scary and shes a stubborn chinese lady (bless her).
I got her Zoj rice cooker, and shes acclimated with the buttons. Was thinking of her using this as her go to for her ginseng so she can avoid any stove mishaps. I've tried to get her on thermals (coffee), zoj water boilers, slow cookers, etc. All have been forcibly returned, I'm at my wits end.
Methinks if she has this on her small apartment this might be a good alternative. Would love to hear any recommendations.
🙏 guys. ❤️
i have the similar ones used about 8yr, im on my third bowl.
Personally, I have the next size down (3-Cup) and that's more than enough for my family: https://www.amazon.com/Zojirushi-...01EVHWNQQ/
But obviously the 5.5 is on sale and that one is not. With the 3-cup, you can make as little as a half-cup of dry rice which is like a single serving. Minimum for this one is double that (1 cup).
This also has a steam basket and the 3-cup does not. So if you liked steam veggies, you could do that. And this one has a cake setting (never used it on my other zoji with that setting).
If you want to try steel cut oatmeal or porridge, there's a setting for that too. I make steel cut oatmeal occasionally in mine...just put it in night before, set timer and it's ready at breakfast.
Not trying to justify this for you, but it is more versatile than just rice.
We just make rice, brown and white, and don't really use other functions. I tried steel-cut oats. It takes a long time (60 or 90 minutes if I recall properly), and ends up more like porridge, We like our oats firmer, and they take 10 minutes on the stove, so we use this only for rice.
