Rating:  - Good rice cooker (at least my wife says so)
I gave this product 4 stars because its expensive. I'm not a cook, I can barely make pancakes, but my wife lives this product so I have it a high rating.
I can't really say much more except she says the quality of the rice compared to cheaper ricer cookers is leaps and bounds. And I trust her since she is Vietnamese.
So there you go, buy it if you want good rice!

Zojirushi makes the best rice cookers hands down: better than Sanyo, Tiger, or Panasonic. Don't believe me? Go into a Korean or Japanese speaking house and take a look in their kitchen.
This one is great! The thick, non-stick pan consistently cooks the rice nice and even, but the best feature is that it will keep the rice perfectly warm for a couple of days. Most non-Japanese made rice cookers will not even keep your rice warm for a couple of hours without creating excess condensation, browning on the bottom, or gluttonous rice.
People who complain about paying this much for a rice cooker must not have grown up eating sticky rice, or must not have ever been to an Asian grocery store. This isn't made for cooking Uncle Ben's. Even the most frugal Asian families don't skimp on their rice cooker.
A rice cooker is not a slow cooker and shouldn't ever double as one. Crappy American, Chinese made brands advertise this as an added feature. Don't be fooled. If you want restaurant quality rice, buy quality rice and use a Japanese made rice cooker that is dedicated to cooking rice.
The only reason I'm giving this 3 stars is because most Asian grocery stores sell this particular model for much less. I bought mine for $119.
Another piece of advice, do not use an abrasive sponge with heavy detergent to clean the pan. Read the instructions. Soak and wipe.

When three family members were diagnosed with celiac disease (severe wheat allergy), we started eating a lot more rice. I'm not the best cook, so I found it a real pain to make rice in a pot. This rice cooker has been a life saver. Every batch of rice has turned out perfect. I've also made rice pudding, rice cereal, and tapioca pudding. It's very easy to clean--unless I've made a porridge type dish I usually just rinse and wipe. The only problem I've had was that I lost the measuring cups that came with it, so I had to figure out the equivalent in standard cups. If you buy any rice cooker I would also recommend you get The Ultimate Rice Cooker Cookbook : 250 No-Fail Recipes for Pilafs, Risottos, Polenta, Chilis, Soups, Porridges, Puddings and More, from Start to Finish in Your Rice Cooker for lots of great recipes to make in your rice cooker.
Rating: - perfect rice every time.
I purchased the 10-cup Neuro Fuzzy rice cooker as a Christmas present for my wife...because she ASKED for it. Well, she has never been able to cook a decent pot of rice before and after my extended stay in Japan, she was curious to see what the difference was. This cooker is dead simple to use and makes the most perfect sticky rice for onigiri every time.
All you have to do is add your rice, your water, close the lid and turn it on (or set the timer). I wake up to sticky rice every morning. A couple of handfuls of rice with some fish/seasoning and I am out the door. It was a very worthwhile purchase and worth the pricetag.
