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.

If you're not a daily consumer of rice, this product isn't for you
Spending this much money for a rice cooker is a complete waste of money.
Spending this much money for a rice cooker is a complete waste of money.
Example?
Kobe beef? Wagyu?
This goes on to almost all foods in Japan
The strawberry taste mush sweater than that you can find in the US.
water melon, peach, even cucumber taste much tasty.
So as rice
The pricier rice cooker cook better rice in general? The answer is yes
the answer is yes but also you need to also select which rice you buy and how to prepare the rice.
Ultimately you will get very tasty rice!
Someone wrote in Japan high end rice cooker cost 1k... Yes that is true and I got
https://www.amazon.com/Panasonic-...ast_sto_dp
Yes it is taste better!
For some people this might be waste of $$
Do you like high end luxury car, watch, appliance, etc? It might be just waste of $
Do you like junk foods from dollar stores and walmart? or do you like to shop at Whole Foods, Trader Joe's, Gelson's? it might be waste of $
Which steakhouse do you go? Denny's, Outback's? or Fleming's, Houston, Lawry's, Ruth's Chris?
How much do you spend for a night for a hotel? less than $100/night? over $300/night might be waste of $$
Just remember you cannot bring your $$$ into your next life, so calculate how long you will live and spend up all your saving.

Currently, the weak Japenase yen currency makes it possible to travel to Japan at a very low cost. You can stay in a nice hotel for a very reasonable price.
You can plan a sightseening trip to Japan, and buy those relatively handy home electronics as souvenirs such as a rice cooker or a heated toilet.
In fact, many wealthy Chinese visit Japanese electronics stores and purchase large quantities of cosmetics, medicines, and other items in addition to the home appliances mentioned above while traveling.
Unless you are taking a low-cost airline, you should be able to carry up to two checked baggages.
If you don't understand Japanese, you should be able to use Enlglish to Japanse translate founction on your cell phone or PC.
below some info about how to pick a best rice cooker

Below is a popular rice cooker ranking in Japan
https://kakaku.com/kaden/rice-coo...ry_kaden0
The third most poplar model is below ZOJIRUSHI NW-NA10
https://kakaku.com/item/J00000455..._ra
online price is ¥67,174 /150 yen/$ = $448 (after 10% tax)
local retail price is ¥77,000 /150 yen/$ = $513 (after 10% tax)
https://www.yodobashi.c
you can buy with Duty Free as well if you learn the drill.
below Zojirushi site - it's a shame they don't have English/Chinese language options with their HP/manual/product interface

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.

Just remember you cannot bring your $$$ into your next life, so calculate how long you will live and spend up all your saving.
It's less that people can't bring money into their next life rather that they want money to enjoy themselves when they can't work (and don't want to work) and have no source of income. When you get old you will have all the time in the world and to enjoy it you need all the money too. Better than blowing it up and being the old lady working the counter at Walmart. The remaining that they don't spend could eventually be passed onto their children or relatives.
Below is basic instruction
1. rinsing (washing)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3k9ItS0
this site is quite good
below also quite good
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hnkVNVH
both are in Eng.
The key point is
1st wash need to be quick just to wet the rice to remove starches
then, without adding water just gently mix... a few times
then rinse with water....
The above instruction is for short grain white rice only.
It is better not to use metal mesh because it would scratches rice too much, nor metal whisk.
If there is a daiso store near by, I would highly recommend to get one of this
rice washing bowl - you can use this for many other things to cut off water...
https://shop.daisosinga

https://topics.smt.doco
Brown rice have a totally different procedure.
in Japanese this explain better
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_tsGOeU
When you wash, make sure to use cold water.
your hand might get cold but
using a cold water is a secret to get a tasty water
Washing the rice using cold water will surprise and wake up the grains, making them shinier and more delicious when cooked.
https://abebeikoku.jp/kometogi-oyu/
After washing, soak the rice in purified water for around 30 minutes.
Another key is to switch to cold water again before starting cooking.
Another secret is to stir the rice with a rice spoon gently so it doesn't get crush as soon as it's cooked. Release excess steam would help to make it further tasty.
