Best Price: $266.00

weaknesses: the only drawback was the time it took to cook my first 2 cup of rice with it.

2, the rice cooked is really good, compared with my old rice cooker.
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.
from www.amazon.com
it does takes 45 minutes to cook 2 cups of rice (45 mn with my old rice cooker) but it is worth it.
from www.amazon.com
it cooks the rice in about half an hour, but the key is to use just a teeny bit more water (1/2 cup for 3-4 cups rice), to compensate for the higher/faster heat.

when i recived my zojirushi ns-tgc10 micom 5-1/2-cup rice cooker and warmer in stainles steel it was like night and day between zoujirushi and my old rice cooker.

ok, so it's a little pricey and takes about 45 minutes to cook 2 cups of rice, but the rice it cooks is awesome.
from Yumi, www.cooking.com
first of all, i grew up eating rice almost at every meal, 7 days a week, in the first 20 years of my life so i know about rice.
from www.amazon.com
i purchased the rice cooker for my 20 year old son who is living on his own, he loves the cooker and uses it often, it makes great rice without fuss.
from www.amazon.com
my favorite option is the 24 hour timer - i can set it in the morning to have perfect rice waiting for my dinner when i get home from work and don't feel like cooking.
from www.amazon.com
careful not to overfill it, or it'll boil over; and the fact that when you open the cover the condensation from cooking drips around the edges, but all in all, this is a great cooker for 2-3 people.
