Everything about it is good, except possibly for the Twinkle Twinkle Little Star music it plays when it starts...you can change it but I haven't figured out how yet.
Rating: - Makes The Best Brown Rice
Once you get the amount of water right, this cooker delivers perfect GABA Brown rice every time. Same with steel cut oat meal.
Rating: - Great rice cooker
This is a great rice cooker. I've used it for rice, millet, quinoa, and oatmeal and it does a great job. It cooks grains perfectly and makes an excellent porridge. I would definitely recommend it!
Rating: - Best rice cooker you can buy!

We also have significant brand loyalty after owning a Zojirushi breadmaker for the past fifteen years and it's still perfect.

We just made the GABA brown rice for the first time and everyone agreed that it was the best rice they had ever eaten anywhere! Build quality is exceptional and we love it!
Rating: - Really great - perhaps more than you need, though?

The induction cooker really does make a difference and we get wonderfully evenly cooked rice. And the timer function is a lifesaver, especially in the morning.
The only reason it gets 4 stars instead of 5 is because I wish there were cool-touch handles on the bowls, but the rice is easy to extract and this is a minor complaint. Also, one reason we got this instead of a cheaper Zoji was because of the GABA rice capability, ... Read More
