This Zojirushi Neuro Fuzzy rice cooker is prized for consistently excellent rice, especially fluffy white rice, brown rice, and porridge, with very little effort. Long-term use reports are strong, with units still working well after 5, 10, 15, and even 26 years, and the warming function is praised for keeping rice fresh without drying or burning. It also has a retractable power cord, a tune when cooking finishes, and Made in Japan printed on the front. The main hesitation is price, since similar units have sold much lower before and the clock battery can eventually wear out.
Households cooking rice daily, because it keeps producing evenly cooked rice and stays reliable for years of frequent use.
Buyers comparing it to newer premium rice cookers, because this model is described as older and lower-end than induction or domestic Japan alternatives.
Long-term use reports range from about 5 years to 26 years, with many units still cooking perfect rice after a decade or more. The clock battery can die after roughly 5-10 years and may be annoying to replace, but the cooker itself can keep working well.
It is a premium, older lower-end Zojirushi model, but it is repeatedly described as producing perfect rice for years with very little effort. The main practical upside is consistency and warming performance; the main caveat is that similar basic cookers can be far cheaper, and this price has been lower before.
It cooks rice very evenly, keeps it warm without drying it out, and plays a tune when the rice is done. It is also reported to be forgiving if the water level is slightly off, which helps avoid undercooked or overcooked rice.
Yes, it performs particularly well with brown rice and porridge, and it is designed to keep rice warm without burning or drying it out. One caveat is that brown rice can bubble up a lot in the 5.5-cup size, which can make a larger 10-cup model more practical for bigger batches.
Yes, this model has a retractable power cord and "Made in Japan" printed on the front. It also uses a soldered lithium coin-cell battery to keep the clock, which typically wears out after about 5-10 years.
The French Press was invented 200 years ago, yet people still use it to make their coffee today.
One day (hopefully soon) Zojrushi will replace the toxic non-stick pot with a stainless steel unit and even more people will use it.
lacking R&D. Putting a stainless steel pot does not even require R&D. It's an easy swap. Besides that, chassis of that rice cooker is too old. I will buy cuckoo over this any day.
Please don't compared this with french press. You can still easily make rice on a pot invented 5000 years ago.

Is this the best Zojirushi? Made in Japan. The one everyone talks about?
Zojirushi is one of the top JP brands that make ricecooker. But this model is very old and of their lower end models. $190 you gotta be kidding me, I have this model few years ago and I think I spent slightly over $100. When you got a chance, go Japan and buy their domestic model, far more advanced (IH variable pressure, etc.) though you gotta plan to spend ~$700 on their top end models.
then YOU shouldn't buy it. Some people care about buying a single item for their rest of their lives and not worrying about it ever again. If you aren't at that stage yet - that's totally fine.
I absolutely love the Zojirushi Neuro Fuzzy Rice Cooker & Warmer! It consistently cooks perfectly fluffy, delicious rice every time with almost no effort.

These does not handle the specialty rice and/or brown rice. They also keep the rice warm longer without drying.
