There's three categories to consider--Regular, induction and induction+pressure. Basic models will run you around $150, induction will be $250 and pressure+induction will be $350+. More features aren't better if you don't perceive the differences in the quality/finish, so why add induction? This primarily has to do with consistency of the finish and the resulting texture/mouthfeel. Why add pressure? Further improvements with cooking consistency as well as texture and flavor that you can't achieve without cooking under pressure. You can easily spend $400 on an induction+pressure unit, but I don't think it's really worth it unless you're the type that's upset when you're served bad rice at restaurants.
For ROI nitpicking--If you do eat fancy rice like Tamaki Gold/Tamanishiki, a 15 pound bag will run you around $30 after tax if you target sales. So every $100 buys you 6~7 bags which is probably about a year's supply for an Asian couple. The question is then how much marginal quality you want to squeeze out of that rice. One would probably choose a nominal value-add figure to the rice being consumed to reflect the nuanced improvement in texture and flavor, let's say it makes the $30 bag worth $35 because it's tastier. But if you do the math to try to justify a $250 rice cooker, it turns out to be nearly a decade-long ROI period. Not a great buy for bean counters unless you really love your rice.

In the summer, California, up to 1 day. So at the end of the 2nd day, I put in the fridge.

Do you really need to spend this kind of money on a rice cooker? Probably not, but if you can afford it, then you won't regret it.

For me it isnt about the taste test but the softness and chewy test. Non perfectly cooked rice will have inconsistent softness where some of it will be a little hard than the top portion of what is cooked or way too soft in some sections of the pot. If you eat sushi often and have had cheap or bad sushi, you would understand because of the rice softness and texture sucks on cheap sushi.

Water pools at the top when opening the cooker after it finishes cooking. This is quite annoying and you have to wipe it down every time. Feels like a design flaw for something so expensive.
Fingerprint magnet. Especially at the top.
Somewhat noisy, I don't mind but you might. First half of the cooking process the fan whirs, second half is silent. ~60 minutes for white rice.
Good price though, I just picked one up.

Previously had the 5 cup tiger from costco and got this one to make more rice at a time and for the gabba option. Regular brown and jasmine come out a little softer and fluffier than the costco tiger and the fresh made quality lasts a little longer. We still have both cookers and can tell when rice comes out of one vs the other.
Probably not worth it to upgrade if you're going from the costco tiger 5 cup (or any other fuzzy logic) to the 5 cup version of this. Something i really didn't like about the costco tiger is that the top isnt removable for cleaning.
As someone who was also using Instant pot to make rice and got this exact QAC10 from the Kohls deal a few months, I can definitely say the Zojirushi makes far better rice quicker with less hassle. With the instant pot, if you wanted to use nice rice, you often had to presoak it for 30 mins then pressure cook, wait for natural release. With this Zojirushi, I can put it all in and it will done in 59 minutes, 30 if I'm in a hurry with the quick rice setting.
Yeah, I initially balked at the price and when I tell others, they also balk too, but I find myself making rice a lot more and its been worth it to me, so yes, there are rice cookers that are cheaper and probably as good, but if you want to try different kinds of rice and not spend a lot of time doing it, consider this.
One other side benefit that I read was that pressure cooking rice supposedly makes fried rice harder to do, so going back to a regular induction, but not pressure rice cooker, has been better for my fried rice game
It's up to your risk tolerance as to how long you will keep eating rice left in these Zojirushis, but they keep the rice at a temperature that inhibits bacterial growth so the risk should be very minimal.
