This is advertised as their newer model compared to NP-HCC10/18 model, with "Quinoa" being highlighted as one of their standout main features

Darn, I was hoping for a ceramic lining instead of nonstick. Good deal though.

This is better: Zojirushi NS-ZCC10 5-1/2-Cup Neuro Fuzzy Rice Cooker
Not induction though. Link for reference: LINK [amazon.com]
Good price though, I just picked one up.

Quote from MrBlackFriday :
Does the rice taste $200 better than insta-pot lol? $200 will buy 200lbs of high quality rice.
So coming from someone who has an instant pot and a zojurishi. Rice in an instant pot has some somewhat inconsistent quality with some chewy bits at the bottom that are slightly overcooked. Instant pot rice is definitely passable, but with my zojurishi, rice comes out perfect every time with Asian restaurant quality. I haven't made rice in my instant pot in years because of it.

In this the type of rice cooker where you can leave the rice out for days and it won't spoil?

Quote from anjentai :
No doubt this is the Maserati of rice makers. Now I am a big fan of the fuzzy logic rice makers and have a Zojirushi unit bought from Costco around 8/9 years ago for under $100, but this is a crazy amount of money to spend on one. Just saw a Tiger model at Costco for around $80 if I remember correctly. I am pretty sure that in a blind taste test, you won't be able to tell the difference.
You definitely would be able to if you are a big rice eater.

Your food culture and the importance of rice should be the main driver for purchases like this. If rice is not made (nearly) daily in your household, you don't know the difference between types of rice or if you can't tell the difference between different grades of short grain rice, don't buy this. A $100 Zojirushi model, an Instapot or even just a regular pot will be just fine. I use the finger method to cook rice in regular pots (I do weigh down the lids though) when I visit friends all the time.
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.
