Sanyo ECJ-HC55S

Best Price: $116.00

from www.amazon.com
the timer function is a wonderful bonus so you can time your rice to be cooked by the time you get home or set you slow cooker to cook for hours that you want it to.
from www.amazon.com
its worth every penny, tried it for slow cooking, soups, rice porridge and all turned out perfect.

the slow cooker is pretty good also, though smaller than one dedicated to just slow cooking.

from www.cooking.com
good brown rice, and excellent jasmine, white, basmati, etc...my only real complaint is that it always bubbles up and sticky steam/water emits from the top about 3/4 of the way through cooking time.
from mindyliu2007, www.pricegrabber.com
i thought the rice cooked through this cooker must be much better than my cheaper rice cooker, but after i used it, i didn't find out it much better, maybe i expected too much.
from www.cooking.com

from www.amazon.com
we use it at least twice a day for cooking white/brown rice, pilaf, breakfast porridge etc for the last 2 months and all of them came out perfect.

the cooker comes packed with a sheet of white translucent paper between the cooker and the bowl, so make sure to remove it before cooking for the first time.

Panasonic SR-MS182

Best Price: $140.00

from www.amazon.com
for fuzzy-logic rice cookers, ideally you want a computer that responds to the level of humidity in the steam emitted, so that it "knows" when the rice is done not just by how long the rice cooked,
from www.amazon.com
the interior bowl is pretty thick and i found no hots spots anywhere when cooking in it (which is better than my present slow cooker).
from www.amazon.com
the on-board timer and cooking computer input display thingy work well and are good at helping you know when rice is done and everything is ready to go.
from www.amazon.com
the appliance can actually sense the cooking of the rice.
from www.amazon.com
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.

Zojirushi NP-HBC10

Best Price: $266.00

from www.homeclick.com
the old rice i purchased a while ago, is probably a year old, did not taste good when i cooked with my other japanese rice cooker, do now taste just fine with this ih cooker.
from www.qvc.com
thus far i have cooked white rice(long and short grain), brown rice and basmati rice.
from www.amazon.com
one of the features i like is that you set the timer for when you want the rice to finish cooking as opposed to when you want it to start cooking.
from www.amazon.com
gaba is a very complicated method of cooking rice and you could never do it without a timer, the induction system helps too since it can regulate the temperature on the rice much more accurately.
from www.amazon.com
i've also cooked steel cut oats using the porridge setting (fabulous results, even better than cooking it in the slow cooker) and quinoa using the quick cooking setting.

but actually cooks enough rice for about 5 big portions...the stainless steel is nice and sturdy, the square design makes it easy to shove in some corner, and the cooking process is very easy.

when you are cooking a full pot of rice, though, it has a tendency to flow over the lid while cooking (not bad, just a bit messy with the rice water).
