My rice-expert father-in-law scoffed at the crazy price I paid, considering you can cook rice in a pot for free. My wife wouldn't allow the purchase until her $10 Black & Decker died. The joking stopped when the smell of delicious rice reached the living room. And once they tasted it, man! I'm a hero! It's just the best rice ever. My wife has repeatedly told me she was wrong; this Zojirushi simply makes amazing rice.
Now, what was Zojirushi thinking when they made these cords? The cord falls out of the rice cooker with the slightest touch. I spoiled several batches of rice due to the wonky cord. I tried to ram it in there several times, but it just falls right out. But I called Zojirushi, and it turns out the cord is a little odd. If you turn the rice cooker on the side, and really mash it in there, it clicks, and then it won't come out again.
The documentation says nothing about the cord, I looked. She claimed they would change the documentation. Until then, lay it on the side and push in the cord firmly. Once it clicks, it will be solid. (Then turn off the "twinkle twinkle" chimes, and the thing is perfect.)
With the cord problem solved, I love this rice cooker. The umami setting is worth every penny. It's just rice, right? Nope. If you think you know what rice tastes like, this umami setting on this Zojirushi will simply amaze you.
