Q8: How long can I keep rice in my Zojirushi rice cooker using the keep warm feature?
A: The keep warm feature in our rice cookers is designed to keep cooked rice warm, fresh, and ready to serve and enjoy. However, we don't advise keeping rice in the keep warm setting longer than recommended in your instruction manual as we are not able to guarantee the freshness beyond that point. For most rice cookers, 12 hours is the maximum but check your instruction manual for the accurate recommended maximum time. For longer storage take a look at our blog for tips on how to store rice.

First, it has a built in battery. It always keeps the time, even when unplugged.
One can also put rice and water into the machine, and set a timer. The rice will be done at that time.
The machine also keeps track of how long it's held rice with it's keep warm feature. Which, can be used for a long time.
Then there's the build quality. Everything is high quality, well thought out, and easy to clean.
Also, the retractable cord is outstanding. I wish all of my appliances had retractable cords.

I may also be in the minority but I don't frequently schedule my rice availability. When I need rice for a dish I bust out the Aroma and have rice 20 minutes later. Also I again may be in the minority but I'm not into making rice and then leaving it sit for half a day. When I need rice I push the lever down, and when it pops up I have rice. If I also need rice 8 hours later I can redo the process, push the lever down and a few minutes later it will pop back up with cooked rice.
Build quality ... You got me there. But I can buy 9 Aroma cookers for the one on sale here, and the first one I bought 7-8 years ago is still going strong. Even if it dies tomorrow I'm on track for 60-70 years of rice making goodness, dollar-for-dollar. And if the one with a clock lasts just as long (kudos if it does!) it'll be 60-70 years old, while mine are much newer.
I store mine in a cabinet, so cord retraction isn't necessarily a plus for me. But if that's one for you and others, yay!
Look, I'm not trying to be condescending. I also have one of these fancy-schmancy rice cookers with a digital clock. But I have used it maybe 1/10th as often as the Aroma. Sometimes, simple and fast and dependable is better. And it has been my experience that functionally equivalent devices that cost a fraction of an upscale device with a clock are much more cost-effective.
Besides, with the $100+ I'm saving, I can buy a really nice clock with a really nice battery and have money left over to buy a few more rice cookers.
Peace!
In Indiana, I never noticed that behavior. Even when I put a clock right next to it, the handle pops up just after all of the water is absorbed and the heat has just begun to climb to 220 or so.

You could buy nearly ten $18 induction rice cookers for this price. If this makes 10x as much rice, or the rice is 10x better, get this. If all you want is reliably cooked rice that relies on physics rather than artificial intelligence to do what folks have been doing for centuries - cooking rice - then consider something simple like this:

Good unit, but non-ideal pot materials in this day an age.
I wonder if they sell better pots separately...

The sensor locates on the lid, wired (total 4 color coded wires) via the lid hinge to the heater on the bottom.
After repeated opening and closing, eventually the (super thin) cable breaks, the high tension also contributes to the failure. Re-connecting the broken cable isn't so feasible due to tight space and high tension. Eventually I throw it away.
The Tiger rice cooker, on sale around $70 sometime on Costco makes similar quality cooking (reheat is not as good). I do like Zojirushi soft lid opening, easier to clean inner lid(detachable), and somewhat smaller rounded profile on the countertop.
