ONE OWNER’S EXPERIENCE
Rice, almost
every day.
My Zojirushi Neuro Fuzzy NS-ZCC18 has been in my kitchen for at least ten years. I usually cook 3–4 cooker cups of Nishiki Premium medium-grain rice, almost every day.
It has never broken, and I have never replaced any parts.
That is the history of my cooker. It does not predict how long another unit will last.

Beyond the rice cooker.
Coffee, hot water, table cooking and knives are part of my kitchen too. Rice cookers are our first guide; these are some of the tools behind future notes.
