Size: 10-Cup
Style: Cooker & Warmer
First, I will start off by saying that I was sent the wrong rice cooker by Amazon. I originally ordered the Zojirushi NW-JEC18BA 10-cup Rice Cooker but received the smaller Zojirushi NW-JEC10BA 5.5-cup Rice Cooker instead. Because they look so similar, I didn't notice this until after my first use. But upon discovering this, I decided that the 5.5-cup model will suit 95% of my needs for a family of 3 that might host larger gatherings a few times a year. I did reach out to Amazon to discuss and correct the mistake. This does not impact the review of the product itself, but I wanted to bring it up for awareness. I originally was going for the larger model because: 1) the 5.5-cup was out of stock, 2) the price between the two lead me to believe the 10-cup would be a better value, 3) it would be useful to have a larger capacity for the few times I host large gatherings. When people say that the smaller model should be more than enough for most situations, they are not kidding. Anyways, enough about that, you want to know about the rice cooker and how the rice turned out. The product arrived well packaged. The rice cooker looks and feels very high quality. The new design gives a very modern look that is appealing. For those that leave their rice cooker out all the time, they might appreciate this new aesthetic. Instructions are straight forward and the buttons and display are easy to read and use. The included rice paddle is very well made, rice did not stick to it. My only complaint in the "looks and feel" department is the power cord is thick, making it very stiff to bend/flex, and it is not removable (adding some challenges for storage). Another positive experience is the rice cooker is very easy to clean after using it. It also has a self cleaning mode to help keep the lid/vents clean, minimizing/preventing odors from developing over time. Prior to this rice cooker, I have been using a 6qt InstantPot (Duo60) to cook rice in the past couple of years. Prior to that, I was using a cheap Aroma rice cooker with a glass lid. The InstantPot replaced the Aroma when it started to die and I thought it would make for a good multi-purpose appliance. While it did a great job on a lot of things, I always struggled with it to get good rice. Even after a lot of research, tweaks, and swapping out to a non-stick pot (which greatly helps), my results were still inconsistent and mediocre at best. I typically cook basmati, jasmine, and calrose. I've cooked with it twice so far, cooking calrose rice using the umami setting (a 4 cup batch and a 3 cup batch). It certainly takes a lot longer to cook rice than my InstantPot, but I guess you can't rush perfection. 75 some odd minutes later, rice is done and it plays its happy tune (see attached video). It is very helpful that will tell you how much time is left until the rice is done, allowing you to better plan the other parts of your meal that you may be cooking to go with it. The rice had a beautiful glisten to it, fluffed nicely, and wasn't sticky/gummy. In the words of my almost 11 year old daughter when she ate the rice, "This rice is life changing!" I would have to agree. The whole batch turned out great! No burnt patches, not dried out, not gummy, fluffy, great flavor, nice texture, slight sweetness, and the leftover rice reheated very well (even made for good fried rice nearly a week later). The rice was no longer just a side item to serve with the main part of the meal. It was good enough to stand on its own. I am looking forward to seeing how my basmati and jasmine rice turn out. All in all, I am extremely happy with my purchase. Is it expensive? Yes. Is it one more appliance to take up room in my kitchen that I need to make room for? Yes. Do I need to now work better at planning ahead and start my rice sooner? Yes. But does it deliver the goods and is worth the price of admission? Definitely, above and beyond my expectations!

I have always loved rice and with takeout prices what they are today, I’ve been looking for a way to make takeout rice at home. My wife always had a box of Minute Rice in the kitchen, and I always hated that taste and texture. For most of my life, I’ve settled for inferior methods of cooking rice. Believe me, I’ve been all over the internet, watching videos of people telling me how easy it is to make rice. It seemed no matter what we tried, the rice always came out sticky and with an inferior chew texture. At some point, I learned that there are different kinds of rice that I should be using and that you needed to WASH YOUR RICE before cooking. Clearly I had much to learn! Next, I graduated to an Instant Pot, but as it turns out, there is no such thing as an appliance that acts like a Swiss Army knife on your kitchen counter! You can’t be everything to everyone. Yes, the Instant Pot is good for a lot of things, but when it comes to making rice, you NEED a rice cooker if you don’t want the headaches associated with making rice the old fashioned way. If you want to find out how to make a great pizza, ask an Italian. If you want to learn how to make great BBQ, ask a Texan. And if you want to figure out how to make great rice, look no further than the great people of Japan! I don’t claim to understand the strange sorcery that the Zojirushi uses over similar products claiming to be able to make rice just as easy…but there is NO doubt that the Zojirushi does it better than anything I’ve ever used to cook rice. I don’t know how, but I landed on the Zojirushi brand and boy am I ever glad I did. I am seriously hooked on this machine! Yes…it’s expensive. Someone else already said it, but this particular model is the Ferrari of rice cookers (no doubt). The quality of rice that it outputs is better than any takeout I can ever remember. I mix 1 cup Jasmine and 1 cup Basmati rice and wash vigorously / thoroughly under cool water for about 5 minutes or until the starch is gone and the water runs clear. Do NOT skip this step! I put the rice in and fill the water up to the 2-cup line in the insert. Close it up and set the timer for when I want to eat the rice. The machine turns on when it needs to and finishes at exactly the time I requested it. Fluff and serve, it’s amazing. It reheats leftover rice to perfection as well. The device is fairly simple to clean, just basically rinse under a faucet and air dry. The machine comes w/ clear instructions to both get you started and long term care. They do NOT recommend you cook anything but rice in this cooker. They also recommend that you NOT mix with other ingredients w/ the rice (i.e. protein, veggies, etc…). Apparently the digital logic in the machine is monitoring its contents based on the rice that you put in the machine. So if you add something other than rice, then the machine can’t guarantee it does its job properly (that’s my guess anyways). You will want to plan accordingly. This machine does NOT make rice in a short period. My 2-cups of jasmine/basmati mixed rice takes around 55 minutes to be completed. Add in the 5-10 minutes of prep to WASH your wash. For us, the extra time is a small price to pay for the quality of rice you get in the end. You can’t rush quality. You could prep all of this in the morning and set a timer for it to ready later in the day, no problem. Your rice will not turn out mushy just because it’s been sitting in the inner pot w/ water all day. Rice does not work that way. To re-heat rice, you just pile your leftover rice in the middle of the inner pot, do NOT add additional water, close it up and select the re-heat function on the machine. Perfect leftover rice in about 6-8 minutes. We now eat rice at a minimum of twice a week whereas before it was maybe twice a month (at best). Last night, I commented to my wife about how I thought the rice actually out-starred the protein I served it with. If you love rice, and you can afford it, buy it! You will not regret it. My only wish is that it had a retractable extension cord like some of the other Zojirushi rice cookers as this one does not.

This is a first use review. The instructions were simple. I cooked 3 cups of Koshihikari rice, and it came out absolutely perfect. My old rice cooker died so I decided to shell out for the best. My old one never came close to the perfection of my new Zojirushi. While it is most prohibitively expensive it can be worth it especially if you buy the extended warranty. Update 1 month: I used it 2-3 times a week for my Koshihikari 🍚. It is spot on every single time whether I'm making one cup or four. I can't believe I waited do long to buy a Zojirushi. I pined for one for nigh on a decade. I couldn't be happier with it. Oh, and i absolutely have my own rice is ready dance to go with the music. Update 1 year: Still the best rice cooker I've ever had. The measurements on the inside of the pot/bowl are becoming illegible as they fade with each cleaning. I only use piping hot water and a sponge to clean it so I don't know why this happened.

Best ricemaker money can buy in the US. Excluding specialty Japanese plug models this is exceptional at creating plump defined rice. Each grain has just the right amount of bite. This will definitely show you the differences in high quality rice crop and is definitely worth the investment if you eat rice often. Also it makes brown rice palatable, and that’s nothing short of a miracle :)

After a couple of uses, I've found the product genuinely produces slightly better cooked rice than other rice cookers I've owned. But I can't say the slight improvement is worth the 3-4x higher price than those other products. The device feels premium, the instructions are clear, and it's easy to clean. A couple annoyances are that the screen is not backlit and can be difficult to read, the electrical cord is thick and not removable, and the finish of the black cover is very vulnerable to micro scratches and swirl marks. After a single wipe with a wash cloth, I immediately saw swirl marks resembling a car that has gone through 100 automatic washes. My biggest concern is it only comes with a standard 1-year warranty. I would expect it to be much longer, in the range of 5+ years, if Zojirushi has the confidence to charge such a premium price for a product thats only function is to make rice. I took a gamble, and it's yet to be seen if I'll regret it.

I’m Vietnamese and I’ve used plenty of rice cookers over the years. I didn't expect to be blown away. This rice cooker is crazy amazing. I used the exact same brand and type of rice I always buy, yet the aroma and taste turned out night-and-day better than anything I've made before. It’s almost weird how much of an upgrade it is for the exact same ingredient, but the result speaks for itself.

For years I thought a rice cooker was a total waste of money. Why would I need one when I’m perfectly capable of cooking rice in a pot on my stovetop? A month or so ago I bought Purple Rice (aka Black Rice, Forbidden Rice). It is delicious but takes an hour on the stovetop. The package has instructions for cooking it in an Instant Pot and also Rice Cooker instructions. I got an Instant Pot and tried it. Cooked up the same time when you add in heating time and steam release time, and quality was the same as stovetop method. Got this Zojirushi (I have the Zoji Virtuoso Plus bread maker and love it). We tried GABA Brown Jasmine Rice last night and WOW! Creamy and delicious! My husband said that it’s the best rice he’s ever had. We used the timer function to put McCann’s Steel Cut Oats on last night, and at 7:00 AM this morning the lovely “done cooking” tune played and once again we were wowed by the quality of the food. I’ve eaten McCann’s Steel Cut Oats since I was a very little child and my Irish grandmother cooked them overnight in the oven. This was a whole next level of texture and taste. I’m a complete convert and can’t wait to cook more with this amazing machine. Oh, and it’s very easy to use, with simple cleaning.

I purchased this Zojirushi rice cooker in December 2024, drawn to the brand’s reputation for quality and reliability. I paid significantly more than for comparable models from other brands because I expected a durable, long-lasting product. After using it only about 15 times to cook plain rice, I’ve noticed noticeable corrosion (rust-like spots) developing on multiple areas of the removable inner lid – the very part that’s designed to be taken out and cleaned after each use. This seems like a clear material or manufacturing defect, especially given how little use the cooker has seen. When I contacted Zojirushi customer support, they informed me that this issue is not covered under the standard 1-year warranty. Instead, they offered a replacement inner lid for $30 plus shipping/handling. For a premium appliance that costs hundreds of dollars, this feels unacceptable – especially when the problem appeared so quickly. I’m extremely disappointed. I chose Zojirushi precisely for its supposed superior build quality, but this early failure and the unsympathetic warranty response have completely changed my view. I won’t be purchasing another Zojirushi product in the future and would caution others considering this brand to think twice about the long-term durability and customer support. If you’re experiencing similar issues, check the removable inner lid closely after cleaning and drying it thoroughly each time – some users report similar spotting potentially linked to cleaning agents or hard water, but in my case, it happened far too soon for normal wear.
