I have owned this type of Rice Cooker for more than 2 years. It is a little pricey compared to other rice cookers, but from my experience, it is worth it. This rice cooker cooks rice quickly (15 minutes or so) and it keep the rice warm until you are ready to eat. I had my rice stay on "warm" one time for two days without the rice turning brown and the bottom getting hard and burnt. We always have our rice cooker on "warm" so that we can have rice available 24/7. We eat rice for lunch and dinner and sometimes for breakfast too, so I always cook rice in the morning and it will last us until dinner. If we have left over rice for dinner, it will still stay warm and fluffy the next day.

I have tried several cheaper rice cookers sold in Target, they do a good job in cooking rice, but they dont keep it warm and soft... after a few hours of being on "warm" the rice turns brown and hard. These cheap rice cookers are only good for occasional rice eaters and for those who can finish their rice in one seating.

I was told also that Rice cookers made in Japan last longer than the ones made in China. There are similar "Tiger rice cookers" made in China but are sold at a much lower price ($50+-). According to friends, these doesn't last long especially if you plan to use your rice cooker everyday. So be sure to get a "Made in Japan" model.

Got Rice? Our family eats rice every day (2-3 times) and our last Tiger 10 cup rice cooker was a Christmas present from my parents over 10 years ago. When the non-stick got too worn out, I decided to buy a Panasonic based on decent user reviews. Well, the quality of rice that came out was not up to TIGER standard. With TIGER, you have fluffy rice that kept well for hours, not crusty/hard/crunchy. Well, after seeing this on sale, I had to buy it. Trust a life time rice eater. This is the best rice cooker for around $100 (or more) that you can buy.

I have owned this cooker for almost 17 years, yes, only one of them. And though the lid doesn't always close tightly any more, it still makes incredible rice. International friends who come to my house are always surprised, and pleased, to see the cooker. They know they will get to eat good rice. I have eaten what comes out of cheaper cookers. Buy a good one, and this is a good one. We use it one to two times a week and it has been a workhorse, 3 servings, 10 servings, it does them all. It keeps the rice warm for hours. A great investment.

I recently just ordered this for my parents for Christmas, I know this Tiger brand is the best out of all the rest I've bought and I know my parents will love this as much as I luv too. Trust me this rice cooker cookes the best rice.

This is an AWESOME rice cooker. A MUST have rice cooker and don't get any size smaller than 10cups since their prices are almost the same.

Our rice cooker arrived safely and on time, and is a very nice-looking appliance. I bought this one because so many people said their rice never 'browned' using this cooker. But our very first pot of rice did brown a little on the bottom. This is the sole reason I bought this specific cooker. The old one I am using now yields a brown 'crust' to the rice, so I was hoping to avoid that. We are trying to eat a vegan diet and rice will be very important to us. I cooked the rice (basmati white) first, then added onions and green peppers, with spices. After the cooking cycle finished, I added black beans.

If anyone knows of something I might have done to cause the browning, please let me know. The cooker has every appearance of a finely-made product, so I'm hoping that this was just a fluke.

I bought it more than 1 year ago. At first, it worked perfectly. Rice taste so good. But lately something wrong has happened. Cooking is still working very well, but the next day rise become stale. I have tried to change different kinds of rice, but I got the same result. So, I am looking for another one to replace for it. Of course, I don't want to take it again.

I have owned this cooker for 16 years. It works as well now as the first day I purchased it. Perfect rice every time. Best investment in an appliance I have ever made!!!!!

Had a Zo unit, same style. This one is well made, better than Zo. PLUS it's made in Japan (still). For fast/great rice making while making the rest of the meal, and having it ready on time. This is fool proof!

Had this for over a year already and it is the best. Consistently good rice.
Heats up fast and goes into warm mode at precisely the right time. Does not scorch the rice at the bottom - (had that problem with some cheaper rice cookers)

I highly recommend.
