This is the third rice cooker that I have owned, and I judge it to be almost as good as the best one, a Zojirushi NS-ZCC10 5-1/2-Cup Neuro Fuzzy Rice Cooker and Warmer, Premium White. This Panasonic model cooks a larger volume of rice, but both are very similar in feature set. For me, the pluses of this model are that you can set it to cook brown rice before you leave for work, and have the rice ready, timed to coincide with dinner. from Amazon.com Not hard, but a little more work than just cleaning a single pot. There are a limited number of setting on the cooker, so you need to shoehorn your favorite rice into the choices presented if you are getting funky. The not so hot: The instruction booklet is really poor, particularly for Panasonic (who are usually good about such things). The clock battery is not user replaceable. from Amazon.com First of all, the SR-MS102 is a FIVE cup cooker and the SR-MS182 is a TEN cup...the little ordering buttons on top both say "10-cup". Hopefully amazon will correct that. from Amazon.com At first, I thought they were one of those silly one-use contraptions people spend a chunk of money on only to use one or two times and waste a bunch of space. Well, after my first rice coooker, I realized that one-use contraptions can be worthwhile if they do their job perfectly every time. Now, large fuzzy logic units like this Panasonic SR-MS182 aren't just one trick ponies and have even improved on what I thought was some perfectly cooked white rice. This Panasonic rice cooker has all of the settings and components you would want or expect. from Amazon.com This PANASONIC FUZZY-LOGIC RICE COOKER is a nifty kitchen toy. Put the rice and liquid in, select the appropriate cook mode, press "Start," and it does its thing. from Amazon.com Well, actually, my last rice cooker wasn't even that old, it's just that it is sub par to this fantastic rice cooker - and I wasn't even aware that my Aroma 10 cup rice cooker wasn't the "cream of the crop." When I received my Panasonic rice cooker, I was so excited to see that it was pretty compact! I love the feature of the handle - it's definitely completely portable with the handle and detachable power cord. from Amazon.com The first thing that went through my mind when the Panasonic SR-MS182 Rice Cooker showed up on my doorstep was,"Where am I going to store this thing?" The box was huge! Luckily, it turns out that the unit was just extremely well packed. from Amazon.com for me, the pluses of this model are that you can set it to cook brown rice before you leave for work, and have the rice ready, timed to coincide with dinner. from Amazon.com the biggest improvement, making it more than worth the extra cost, is that it seems to get the job done in consistently less time, though cooking rice on the stovetop is certainly faster than either. from Amazon.com i tested this unit with three items -- slow-cooked chicken, brown rice, and a cake: from Amazon.com
