I have always used rice cookers to cook my rice, and have never had problems with the texture and consistency of my rice. After purchasing the Zojirushi, I was disappointed in its performance. The lid definitely does not stay secure and thus does not keep the steam in. It also creates quite a mess unless I put a towel over the lid. I will more than likely purchase another rice cooker to replace this one. I do not recommend this rice cooker.
 Rice Cooker July 15, 2008
I really like the Rice Cooker/Steamer, I just need to remember its not "Minute Rice" & that it takes as long to cook the rice as it does to cook some meat dish's! The quanity it makes is great for 2 people(my husband is a hardy eater to!), but if you have children, I suggest you get the bigger one. I have always wanted one & this Zojirushi is a great one to get!
good rice cooker June 4, 2008
It is a quick rice cooker. Only about 15-20 minutes I got the rice ready.
And also easy to wash. No issues so far.
Just one thing to mention, the lid is little bit smaller than the container's up open, it seems not match perfectly. But it doesn't impact the function.
 Great Rice Cooker! May 27, 2008
Great rice cooker for the price. Non-Stick, doesn't burn your rice and is QUICK! Two cups of rice cooks in less than 5 minutes! Highly recommended!
 BROWN RICE -Spluttering disaster ! May 20, 2008

Like a few other reviewers, we bought this cooker to replace a long-serving rice cooker. We eat, almost exclusively, brown rice and our old rice cooker only provided 3 cup capacity, so we decided to upgrade to this 6 cup capacity one. Unfortunately when this cooker arrived, in my enthusiasm, I tossed away all the packaging, believing that this Japanese manufacturer (my partner is Japanese American) could be relied upon to produce a quality product. Wow, was I wrong. First, if you cook brown rice, then they only recommend a 3 cup capacity -- so there went one of our goals. Second, and as others have noted, this is the messiest kitchen device I have ever seen. It splutters and spits starchy water out of every direction from the lid rim, and then that hole in the lid forces more messy steam onto all the cabinets. Frankly, I cannot believe it passed any kind of test from the manufacturer. It must be OK for cooking white rice, otherwise the reviews would all be much lower.... but be warned. This WILL NOT COOK BROWN RICE. We are now looking for another model... $50 bucks poorer. Ugh!
