I've had one of these for a couple of years now. It's pretty much in constant use and makes incredible rice every time. Love the GABA Brown setting! Couple of things to factor into your decision whether to buy a $250 cooker vs a $75 one that is almost as good. The stainless exterior dents very easily. Mine is covered with dents from normal household use. The non stick coating on the inner pot deteriorates fast. If it gets so much as touched with anything other than a wood or plastic rice paddle or a sponge it will scratch and then start to peel up exposing the aluminum liner. I've already replaced that part ($85!) once. I've been super careful with the replacement and in spite of this it already has a deep scratch on the rim. Unlike cheaper models by Zojirushi and other brands, the power cord is not retractable so it is ugly and dangles annoyingly if you bring your cooker to the table to serve from. Again, unlike the cheaper units, there is no reheat function. The display does not indicate how much time left until the rice is done. My feeling is that Zojirushi has not updated the design on these as they don't sell enough of them to make it worthwhile, so basically you are getting 10 year old technology and design with this model. The cheaper units are more up to date IMO. But yes it does make fantastic rice. My 5 cup version will make 4 cups of brown rice BTW--but the Japanese "cup" measurement is 1/3 less than an 8oz American cup.
