Right now, however, the market for rice cookers not made in China is pretty inflated. If buying new, this is probably the best bang for buck model available.

Tiger's 5.5 cup Micom rice cooker is a solid midrange pick for making consistently good rice, with smart logic, reliable keep warm performance, and easy everyday use. It handles rice well when the water ratio is dialed in, and the nonstick or ceramic inner pot is generally easy to clean. The main drawbacks are the hard to read water indicators and the non removable inner lid, steam cap, and vent parts, which make cleaning less convenient. It feels like a dependable step up from basic cookers without reaching premium price territory.
The cooker can produce excellent rice when the water-to-rice ratio is dialed in correctly.
The inner pot can be removable and easy to wash for routine maintenance.
The automatic logic can help prevent sticking or burning when cooking rice.
The keep-warm feature can keep rice usable for quite a while after cooking.
The water level indicators can be hard to see because they are grey and may require a flashlight.
The inner lid and steam cap are not removable, which can make cleaning and buildup management difficult.
The non-removable lid and steam vent seals can get gross over time and may not be easy to clean.
The steam function can work intermittently, which can limit consistent steaming performance.

I think it slots in nicely between the real cheap models and the higher end fuzzy logic models. Realistically it doesn't make sense to compare to $200+ rice makers. This isn't that. It's a significant upgrade from the really cheap models though at least in limited experience.

Should be noted that they switched from non-stick to ceramic coated inner pots last year. The ceramic coated ones have issues with the indicators. Use a flashlight or measure out your water ratio with the cup you're using to scoop the rice. I find that since I rinse my rice in a rice strainer (as everybody should do so they don't damage their inner pot) it's easy to pour in the correct water. Just account a little for the water still in the rice after strained.
