Traditional program: if temperature is below 212 F then keep on at full cook power, if temperature is above 212 then switch to warm.
Usually this "program" is implemented with a mechanical computer consisting of a magnet which is calibrated to lose its magnetism at a precise temperature (the Curie point) and trigger a switch.
Fuzzy logic just means not binary on or off, but can adjust to a range of power outputs.
Fuzzy logic program: beginning of program ramp up to full power to bring water to boil, once at boiling then reduce power to keep at rolling boil, once at steam temperature maintain heat using PID controller to consistent steaming temperature, after timer complete and temperature above steam level switch to keep warm temperature.
Usually this program is implemented with a microcontroller running a software program that reads from (possibly several) temperature sensors, sometimes also a pressure sensor, and a timer.
Edit: for the record, I personally prefer basic rice cookers. The only thing that's really nice about the fancier models, in my opinion, is the timer function but I have a bunch of smart plugs available so I just plug the basic rice cooker into that and that sorts that (I do the same thing with my coffee maker).

On Amazon, there is the iMac one (CR-0655F) $120 down to $70, the normal looking white one (CR-0675FW) $130 down to $75, and Costco has a similar one (CR-0661F) $100 down to $80.
Can anyone advise if I'm missing any major pros and cons? The website isnt much help and tough to see if any features or extra tools make one a stand-out deal. (Though you don't get the 10% back from Prime if you buy from Costco).

Micom rice cooker is also on sale. If Fuzzy Logic better or worse?

Or do I just listen to my heard and buy a red egg, because it looks pretty cool?

Add some water, and reheat/re-steam the rice to a high temperature, and you'll be fine. That's what I do.

The benefit of expensive fuzzy-logic cookers like Cuckoo and Zojirushi is that (apparently) they are better at compensating if you add too much or too little water, they are better at cooking the more difficult types of rice like sushi rice, and it is easier to cook other grains because they have explicit settings for them.
I was skeptical about the ice-block trick until I first tried it, but it works *brilliantly*. As long as you remove any remains of the ice block as soon as it's ready, you get rice that is steamed and *not soggy*.
I think the theory is that the surface of the ice block sublimates directly to steam instead of melting first, so the rice gets steamed and you don't get water building up in the bottom of the container.
Keeping rice on your keep warm setting for up to two days is absolutely not safe, and even past 12 hours the quality will degrade if what you're going for is cooked rice texture.
Cooled rice is actually fantastic, the starches go through retrogradation which increases the prevalence of resistant starch (RS3) which is very beneficial. It also makes for a much better texture for fried rice. I also prefer it for other uses, like soups, rice pudding, etc. Leftover rice has been used for centuries culinarily because of its many excellent properties
If you have a rice maker, unless you're intending to have leftover rice to use in stir-fried rice or some other purpose where you intentionally want to cool it, I really don't understand why you would make leftover rice. It's easy enough to just make the amount you want for that meal.
Obviously: you do you. Whatever works for you works for you. I'm just offering this information if it's useful to anyone.
