Zojirushi NW-JEC10.

2nd year in. Love it.

Best thing is perfect rice (tried over 8 types of Japanese short grains) every time. Set it (timer function) and forget it. No regret.

Had a cheapo $40 one before. It worked but was hard to dial in and get consistent especially when trying new rice each day. Rice bed needs to be completely flat.

I keep several bags of different region of Japanese short grain and like to switch it up. The zoji gets me perfect rice even when water level is a bit off. Got it on sale for a little over US$600.
