is this a Japanese made or Chinese made Zojirushi? the Chinese made ones are notoriously unreliable.

SarreqTeryxEven the Made in Japan models are assembled from parts made in China now. Zojirushi owns their own factory in China.

AnnndyI think that is pretty much unavoidable these days.
Japanese QC standards applied to Chinese goods is a good balance between price and quality/performance though I reckon.
Fully manufactured in Japan goods give me sticker shock.

FuzzYes I think the Chinese are quite capable of producing high quality items, it's just not what the world is asking of them right now. We may feel that there is a healthy market for quality, but the overwhelming majority of customers are constantly proving that price supersedes all other factors. It's a real trick when companies like Bose and Apple can convince the public to spend more than the bare minimum on personal and household products. One of the reasons we have access to higher quality items like these Zojirushi rice cookers is that the Japanese have been convinced that rice cookers should cost $500 and are well worth the expense.

AnnndyI was blown away when I saw the price ranges of rice cookers in Japan, I saw a $1000+ rice cooker in one of their big box stores.
Diamond-like Carbon coated cooking vessels, ultrasonic transducer plates and whatnot. I guess it seems less extreme when you realize that there is rice that sells for $100 a Kilo in Japan.
