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.

I also never understood needing a rice cooker, until I started dating an Asian girl. We now have 2, and somehow have a need for both of them (steaming something in the bigger one, rice in the other etc). We are a couple that doesn't eat out often, and use our rice cooker(s) a few times a week.
Another great use for one of these is vacation, we brought our rice cooker along for a family vacation and it made it SOO easy to cook for a large group (10-14) in our rental house. Every night we made a giant batch of white rice, which everyone can doctor it up the way they like for a side. We'd grill different things, and use leftover rice for fried rice. Whip up big salads and fruit salads with stuff from a local Aldi and we saved a ton while eating good all week. Between the rice cooker and having meat that was sous-vided prior to vacation, we really were able to eat great on a small budget.
For us, each bag lasts us about 3 or 4 weeks. $2/lb isn't crazy expensive, but not nothing 🙂. Anyway, I didn't expect this to lead to so much conversation. Just wanted to point out that if you are going for to invest in a good quality rice cooker (which I fully encourage), it shouldn't be wasted on rice that "cost next to nothing"
Also second Tamaki Gold, Tamanishiki is solid short grain rice too!
Edit: nvm I saw the deal for the 10 cup IH + Pressure. Got that instead. This is still a great deal though!

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.
No kinda sorta tho.
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.

I'm confused, your image seems to indicate it is indeed the only one to get 5/5 on rice cooking?

Also, when they say 1 cup, it's the literal cup, not 8 ounces. The cup has 1/4, 1/2, and 3/4 markings on it corresponding to the water line makings on the bowl.
