This review is from: Zojirushi NP-HBC10 5-1/2-Cup Rice Cooker and Warmer with Induction Heating System, Stainless SteelI was expecting this machine to cook rice very well based on previously owning a neuro fuzzy logic rice cooker made by zojirushi, which I've worn out after many years of use. I'm very happy with the new induction heating style of cooking. It cooks brown rice better.Pro's--Exceptional rice results, almost foolproof.--Multiple menu settings account for most types of rice, including GABA brown (which is supposed to make brown rice even healthier)--Easy to operate. Select menu setting, add cups of rice to bowl (rinse the rice), fill to applicable mark in bowl, and hit cook button.--Battery backup. A lithium battery means the cooker will remember its last settings even if you unplug it. If you're a creature of habit, this feature makes it even easier to operate.--Clock timer with 2 time settings you can set based on the clock's time. Like previously stated, the cooker remembers the timer settings until you change them. I leave my cooker set to have rice ready at 6:30a.m. (to pack for lunch at work) or 5:30p.m (dinner). Con's--Water level markings in pan are based on the 6.2 oz cup provided (~3/4 cup). Don't lose the cup!--Expensive (my justification is it saves me $5 every time I pack rice for lunch instead of eating in the cafeteria)--Takes longer to cook rice than the equivalent stove method (baking or stovetop)--Timer is military time only (so when I said the timer was set to 5:30p.m., it's actually 17:30)In summary, buy this machine if you want to use the timer function. If you're the type of person who only remembers things at the last minute or don't like to plan meals ahead, keep your money and get a pressure cooker or a good pot instead.It fits my needs perfectly, so I give it 5 stars. I also recommend a Zojirushi lunch jar system if you want to use this to make rice for lunch at work. A lunch jar will keep the rice warm and moist, so you don't have to microwave it....This review is from: Zojirushi NP-HBC10 5-1/2-Cup Rice Cooker and Warmer with Induction Heating System, Stainless SteelThe rice cooker is best in class ie five stars.The only negative thing about this rice cooker is that it last about 1 year before it fails. I have just recently had my second rice cooker fail and this time it lasted about 1.1 years similar to the first rice cooker. After contacting Zojirushi they gave me a repair place for the rice cooker. I have already purchased my 3rd zojirushi rice cooker and the repair for the second one will cost $136 dollars. The nice thing is that you can get it repaired and the customer service was really nice on the phone. Both failures caused the digital display to lock up....
