1. If you both cook and value your time, then a good cooking gadget pays itself off in weeks, not years. Measure rice, measure water, press start, walk away.
2. A restaurant entree costs approximately $20 + 20% tip ($24). For a family of 4 that's $100. The cost of dry rice in bulk is virtually free, relative to the cost of other food (per meal). If this rice cooker stands in for two restaurant nights out you've already recouped your investment.
Now take all the above into account, then factor in that posters in this thread are replacing machines after 10 YEARS (and they aren't even broken).
The problem with stove top and microwave rice is simply that it's bad, but the people who eat it don't realize it because they don't have rice cookers.

It doesn't have all the bells and whistles but the only to receive an excellent rating for the rice. ..And it cooked rice way faster. 30 minutes compared to 60 or more for the Induction model.
They gave it the best marks as "Best Classic Rice Cooker"
For a basic, one-button machine, this compact model produced perfectly tender, chewy rice. In fact, it's the best of the bunch—earning an Excellent score in that test—and the fastest. It took half the time to cook rice compared with most of the other models we tested. Points were docked for convenience, though, because it lacks programs, a keep-warm mode, and audio cues when the rice is done (it automatically turns off). But if you're looking for the simplest rice cooker without any microcomputer, touch screen, or alerts, this is a good choice that takes up little space. It's the kind of starter rice cooker that seems made for college students.

You should get better quality rice 😉. It shouldn't be that cheap. They're worth it, especially if you're buying the good rice cooker.

As I said, 'Best rice, fastest but lacks bells and whistles.'
I thinkt the more expensive models, as a rule of thumb, are for those folks who want rice available 24/7.
If you just want to whip up a bowl of rice more conveniently than the stovetop then just get a basic model. Your rice isn't going to be worse and according to CR it is even better. It's also way faster. This induction one takes 60 minutes! Basic ones do rice in 20ish minutes.
Also there are a few more positives of the basic models. Easier to clean. (There's no vents in a basic model. You just clean the bowl and the lid.). More reliable (no battery to go out, not as much circuitry to break.) Simpler (one button and it switches off when it's done.) And ok it's also quite a bit cheaper. Oh plus some models have steamers on them. I have an old 3 cup basic one with a steamer from another company. For Zojirushi, the 6 cup and 10 cup models have a little steamer tray that slides into the bowl which lets you steam veggies etc while your rice is cooking.
btw they are discounting the at least 2 different sizes of the basic Zojirushi rice cookers on Macy's too. But there's a chance they might not be found through the search bar. I had some trouble finding them. But they are there. They are quite a bit cheaper than on Amazon plus you get the 10% off with the code. The smallest 3 cup basic model (in black) is $31 after discounts. And the 6 cup is $41.

Bag of top-quality Nishiki (15 lbs) - $15
Dry yield: 37.5 dry cups
Cooked yield: 37.5*2.5 = 93 cooked cups of rice
Output: 4 cups for 4 adults to eat dinner
Dinner yield: 23 meals (covering the feeding of 4 adults)
Cost per meal (just the rice)? 65¢
With eggs at 50¢ each and inflation at 10%, to feed a family of 4 adults for 65 cents is 'virtually free' in my book.
For context, 65¢ is about the cost of 1 K-Cup OR 1 pump of coffee syrup at Starbucks.
