I think this rice cooker is just okay. There’s a lot of inconsistencies in the rice results…and if you eat a lot of Jasmin rice, I don’t think it is the best cooker for that. It does very well for brown and GABA rice, and short grain. It doesn’t do well for that special crunchy bottom rice, which is more chewy than crunchy, and I think not good for my teeth enamel. The pressure unit doesn’t seem to work properly. It originally would be silent when cooking, until the pressure release, but now it just cooks with the release valve pretty much open on its own. The inside steel plate that’s removable for cleaning has a super short silicone that makes it difficult remove without using a dry cloth for gripping. This same plate also falls into the rice while cooking pretty regularly, so I think that silicone gasket that secures it isn’t right during cooking. I hate opening up my rice cooker to see this plate sitting directly on top of my rice. There’s many little annoying features that just don’t work. I also hate it when my rice turns out grey. It only does it sometimes, so I am not sure why. Maybe I don’t wash the rice enough. But I have never had grey rice with any other cooker in my entire life of rice cooking. So I get worried about the chemicals that might be in my grey rice.I have had this cooker for over a month now, and compared to my old fuzzy logic Zojirushi rice cooker, I find the rice better with my old cooker. The good thing about the newer Cuckoo is the speed , and it cooks a good brown and GABA rice much better because of the high pressure. But we don’t eat brown that often.I am contemplating on replacing this with a Zojirushi again, and saving this for when I need to make brown rice. Pretty disappointing overall. The Cuckoo does the two things better that my old cooker lacked, but I don’t know if it was enough to sacrifice for quality, white (not grey) rice.

Update: 8/9/22: Been over a year now? Rice cooker still going strong. Still makes delicious rice. We lost our measuring cup inside our 60 gallon rice container but never fear! By using my pinky to measure the amount of water needed (measure up to second knuckle line from fingernail), this smart rice cooker can estimate how long it needs to cook the rice for. No regrets! Still worth every penny!Had this rice cooker for over 6 months, and still going strong! It’s SO IMPORTANT to read the instructions as it tells you everything you may need to know about handling this expensive cooker. As soon as I changed the settings to English, everything was a breeze. Also, for great lasting rice, turn the warming function down to the lowest heat setting which is 76 or something. Keeps my rice from turning brown and awesome tasting for over 30 hours. Used almost everyday. Also super easy to clean and like a car, you must keep it clean for a long lasting supply of delicious rice, which is super easy bc its mostly just wiping the inside and clearing it of dropped rice grains, ensuring the rubber does not produce mold.. Most satisfied investment in food products to buy.

You’re buying this cause you eat Rice probably far more than you eat bread or potatos. As a chronic abuser and user of Rice Cookers, this thing will go the distance. And it really does hold rice and keep it fresh, even Brown rice for multiple days. The two digit hour counter on the cooker is straight up flexing on my astonishment still to this day after months of ownership by flashing 70-80, even up to 90 (HOURS), and still holding on to solid tasting rice… regardless of how much rice was left in there (less rice in the cooker, the quicker they get dried up).It’s stupid expensive, would never have thought to buy pressure-based rice cooker if not for insistence from my mother.It’s not at all expensive if you consider the quality of rice you will be eating and the amount of rice you won’t be throwing out.

This rice cooker failed to do the little things well, while making good rice. But not 300$ good rice.My perspective is that I am a decent cook, I like simplicity and intuitive design. I make rice maybe 3 times a week.Size:This rice cooker is way too big for its job. I’m an American so the rice cooker isn’t the center of my kitchen. It’s another tool I take out of the cabinet. This rice cooker would have to sit on my counter taking up space unused for most of the week.Software:The standard language is Korean. Although you can set it to English, the 300$ machine has no non-volitile memory. Meaning that when you unplug it and put it away, it will talk to you in Korean when you plug it in in a few days. I’m an American who eats rice every once in a while and I don’t intend to have this rice cooker plugged in forever like a microwave.For the buyer:Other than these simple oversights, the rice cooker does cook a pretty good pot of rice. But not anything that a 100$ cooker couldn’t.For the Manufacturer:This would be a fantastic rice cooker for Korean buyers. If you’d like to enter the American market, consider designing the dimensions so the rice cooker can be stowed in a cabinet. And if the product has a North American electrical socket, the standard language should be set to English. These small oversights make this product difficult to live with.

Got my first one four years ago.Used the heck out of it.Finally it broke.Got another one. Same color same model.Why?Because its good.Some people complain about the sound of cooking auto voice too loud.Are you kidding?You cook your rice few times a day?Nah. I got family of 4 and we cook every other day. I don’t mind the loud auto voice.Get it. Good cooker.And make sure get the extended warranty.You never know.

This rice cooker may be pricey but you sure can taste the quality difference. If you are picky or serious about rice, this is a good investment. It is sturdy, easy to use, and gives rice a more enhanced taste.
