1. There is no where for the rice to fall into the bottom and get stuck/burn up making it ultra easy to clean though I haven't had to because the pot design is better at keeping rice from falling into the cracks. It also doesn't have that contact point that cheap, non-induction rice cookers have that wears out the finish on the bottom of your pot (aesthetics).
2. The top plate is easily removable and very very easy to wash (or you can buy spares for about $40). No stupid gaskets to pull off etc.
3. The rice scoop has a flat bottom and can stand vertically on your flat top rice cooker (for the last 30 years, I just throw the scoop in the rice pot so I don't have to use a new one each time which is fairly unsanitary if you're that kind of person).
And the rice does taste better imo... we eat a lot of rice, 5 of 8 agree it tastes better, 3 can't discern a difference. If I get 10 years out of it, that's only $4 a month. Sometimes the better "deal" is the better piece of equipment at a higher price.
Oh one negative, my Zojirushi does periodically make an electric buzzing sound that you can hear over a refigerator hum. I don't know if its defective or a "feature", haven't gotten around to contacting tech support.
I use it so much that I got rid of my large rice maker and now I have two instant pots. They're a lot more versatile.
