Pros : has a great gaba brown rice feature, makes oatmeal with a better texture, rice grains feel more distinguished from each other, oatmeal setting tastes great, very easy to clean , interior bowl feels premium
Cons: machine makes some noise when cooking and isn't silent like other zojurishi, doesn't have a retractable plug, lid only has open or close without a halfway open option, rice takes about 10 minutes longer to cook compared to other model.
With all that being said, is it worth the upgrade? Kind of I guess. I really like the addition of a gaba brown rice setting and I don't think I can go back to normal brown rice. However it's maybe slightly better texture compared to my Zojirushi NS-TSC10 for white rice. Oatmeal I think is done better, but it does take much longer than stove top.
Honestly if you have already a decent fuzzy logic rice cooker and you don't feel inclined to try gaba brown rice I would say just stick with what you have. However if you only have a basic 20 dollar rice cooker and want a Lamborghini then definitely pick this up as I refuse to make rice in a rice cooker without fuzzy logic anymore

I haven't confirmed, but the IR Zojirushi seems to take longer too cook at over 50min. Seems it takes time to cook rice to perfection vs regular/cheap rice cookers that just cook as fast as possible.

Lol but even for me, this is pretty spendy. It's basically because it's "Induction" and "made in japan"
I have the "normal" $100ish (Made in J) Zoji that I'm sure does 95% of what this induction version does. Mine is what I consider a "buy once cry once" already. This $250 one is "buy once cry a litter harder once" lol

Ultimately, it depends on how often you eat rice. Is rice a once-in-a-while kind of food for you? Maybe not worth it. But if you typically eat rice several times per week, then it's a worthwhile investment to have a rice cooker that makes your rice taste as good as possible... especially given that these are tanks and tend to last many years.
