If you are cooking brown rice you only need a simple rinse to reduce pesticide and any debris. You won't get much in the way of sticky starch since the bran is still encapsulating the kernel. It will have a natural nutty flavor and very little in the way of sticking (unless over cooked).
If you are cooking American "enriched" white rice you should NOT rinse it. That cloudiness is more than white rice starch from processing. It includes additional nutrients the USDA recommends for folks not eating a balanced diet. Usually it includes: Thiamine (B1), Niacin (B3), Folic acid (B9), Vitamin B6, Iron, Zinc, Selenium.
If in doubt look at the packaging to see if it is no rinse enriched (adding what was removed) or fortified (adding more than what was there). You should avoid using parboiled rice as that has already been cooked once and is best done on the stovetop.

Zojirushi is the better known Japanese brand, but Cuckoo is an up and coming South Korean brand and folks that have it seem happy with them.

But in my search for stainless steel rice cooker, I actually ended up resorting to an unglazed ceramic rice cooker pot with a hole at the top to let out steam. Very durable, works nicely. It's a south Korean kind whose name escapes me. Brown, looks elegant, and is somehow very nonstick if used properly

It's the only machine I've seen that has handles attached to the bowl and a retractable cord. These were on top of things like having a detachable lid, a top that doesn't open with such force that it can knock the machine over like the 3 Cuckoos I tried and being made in Japan. To Cuckoo's credit, some models from them did have a cool exclusive feature- having a sloped channel and a little removable reservoir on the back that collects liquid that drops when the lid opens.
Though it didn't have as many cool features, my second choice would have been the $70 (in store at Costco) Tiger that's also made in Japan, has a steamer basket and cooks great rice. The only feature I'm really surprised this model lacks is a lid that detaches for cleaning. Every other model I tried did. I figured if this really became an issue, I could always return it to Costco.
Honestly all of the machines worked well but I stuck with the Zojirushi for their impeccable reputation and the number of reviews I've read about machines lasting 20+ years. If mine lasts anywhere near that long, it will end up being more economical since I shouldn't have to replace it every 5-7 years (some even said only 1!) like a lot of Cuckoos. There's definitely a reason why Zoji has maintained a 4.8 out of over 11K reviews.
