Best Price: $266.00
wize choice
  1. from www.amazon.com
    5.0 Stars some people feel that when making gaba brown rice, the heating/pre-cooking step should be longer to get the maximum health benefits, but i feel that 3 1/2 hours is the maximum amount of time i'd ever
  2. from www.amazon.com
    5.0 Stars this "induction heating" rice cooker is the best one i've ever had.
  3. from www.amazon.com
    5.0 Stars still, i thought it would be nice to try one with the induction heating, and we liked the zojirushi website.

Best Price: $40.00
wize choice
  1. from JH, www.target.com
    5.0 Stars it's also easy to clean, and everything but the base (with the timer and heating element) is dishwasher-safe.
  2. from www.amazon.com
    5.0 Stars hard water scaling on the heating element can be removed / controlled by boiling the water with a teaspoon of lemon juice, and cleaning with cloth (to me, it is a maintenance routine once in a while).

  4. from www.amazon.com

Sanyo ECJ-D100S Micom 10-Cup Rice Cooker
Best Price: $109.00
wize choice
  1. from www.amazon.com
    5.0 Stars the sticker from the inside of the rice cooker (underneath where the cooking vessel goes) before using it, but i did detect a chemical odor from the heating element area the first time i used it.
  2. from www.amazon.com
    5.0 Stars i am looking forward to using it in the summer when heating up the stove is something i try to avoid.
  3. from www.amazon.com
    4.0 Stars it smells like some kind of light paper burn, coming from the buttom of the inner pot and the heating element.
  4. from www.amazon.com
    4.0 Stars there are warning labels next to the heating element, perhaps you should remove those if you have a problem with "burning paper".
  5. from www.amazon.com
    5.0 Stars i think the people that have reported bad smells just didn't remove the "shipping paper" that is between the "inner pot" and the "heating element".

Oster 5711 10-Cup Rice Cooker
Best Price: $35.00
wize choice
  1. from www.amazon.com
    5.0 Stars as for cleaning the water reservoir, i empty the steamer after each day's use - to reduce deposits on the heating element from the water being re-used and getting salts concentrated in it.
  2. from www.amazon.com
    5.0 Stars i prefer to use distilled water to prolong the life of the heating coil - but - at this price - i would certainly purchase another oster with similar reliablity and features!

Cuisinart CRC-800 8-Cup Rice Cooker
Best Price: $128.00
wize choice
  1. from www.amazon.com
    4.0 Stars the other review wrote something about the heating plates needing to be extra hot to steam the food so it was set up more for steaming than cooking rice.
  2. from www.cooking.com
    3.0 Stars i purchased the 4 cup model first (with the same problem)and thought it was a malfunction of the heating element.
  3. from www.amazon.com
    3.0 Stars i traded the first one because i was told the heating element might be bad--but the second one does the same thing.
  4. from www.amazon.com
    4.0 Stars the temperature setting of the heating dictates the designer set it high to allow the use of the steaming attachment, using a high boiling point
