Great rice *Updated*
4 out of 5 stars
Great rice *Updated*
This rice cooker makes great rice. However, the next day it begins to turn a yellowish color and smells sour/yeasty Also on the bottom when I scoop out the rice is somewhat slimy. I have had rice cookers that would keep the rice warm for at least 2 days. I feel that there’s probably too much water that doesn’t get out. So I have been removing rice soon after cooking so I don’t have to throw it away. Disappointing because it’s a pricey item. Sadly I cannot recommend this one.*UPDATE* I found out what was the cause of why my rice would be so wet and begin to spoil the next day. After I cleaned vent I did not put it back correctly. The way I had it was not allowing the moisture to escape. There is a little chimney that needs to be placed where the two top vent holes are. (See pictures 3 and 4) Well, now the rice lasts longer than one day. I can now say that I can recommend this rice cooker.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hey now!
Reviewed in the United States on October 18, 2018
Style: 10-Cup/5 Auto MenuVerified Purchase
Bottom line: This baby makes perfect sushi rice and keeps it warm without crusting it all up on the bottom -even if you leave it for a bit. It's very well built, as most Panasonic products are and looks nice. You hit the button for the rice you are cooking and it just makes your rice perfect. Way, way better than my old Oster. It also comes with a paddle with little knobbly things on it which makes it really easy for the rice to release -it doesn't all stick to the paddle.
I'm a little surprised the manual is so poorly translated that some things are not possible to figure out: Panasonic is usually pretty good about manuals. Luckily it's not a complex device to use -the key is that the measurements marked on the side of the pot work differently: you measure your rice with a measuring cup (handily provided) and stick your rice in, then bring the water up to the cup markings which have already taken into account that you stuck the rice in. I.e., if you are making 2 cups of rice and need 2 3/4 cups of water, stick the rice in, then bring the water level up to 2 3/4. This is a great idea. The only issue I have, and why I dinged it a point on "easy to use", is that it is nigh on impossible to read the markings inside the pot unless you hold it outside the cooker in just the right light while trying to keep the water level. I've gotten around this by marking a bamboo handle to match the pot markings and I just stick that in. (I'd also like to know more about the "Fuzzy Logic". I know what fuzzy logic is and would be interested to know exactly what it's doing in this device.)
But hey, stick the rice in press the button and you get perfect rice every time -what more could you ask?

4.0 out of 5 stars A Smart upgrade
Reviewed in the United States on September 14, 2020
Style: 5-Cup/5 Auto MenuVerified Purchase
As an Asian-American, I have to have a rice cooker in my kitchen. That's non-negotiable. Until now, I've always used cheap dumb cookers and had mostly decent results. When ours finally gave up, I decided to splurge on a smart cooker and I'm happy that I did. I wasn't about to throw down $300 on a Zoji so this seemed like a good alternative. I didn't need all of the fancy cooking programs, just a button for white rice is sufficient.
Pros:
Non-stick is excellent! I haven't' had it too long now, but it's already been better than my last one ever was.
Easy! Just put in your (rinsed) rice, add water (to the knuckle) press start. That's it.
Great rice every time.
Removable cord (Doesn't seem like much, but I hated the non-removable cord on my old machine)
Stays hot. Even after unplugging, it keeps warm for a long time if you keep the lid closed.

Cons:
Annoying to clean. The lid doesn't come off so you have to wipe it clean and leave the machine open to dry. Luckily, it cleans up easily.
No time remaining. My old machine didn't have that either, but it also didn't have a microcomputer.
Kind of big.

Bottom line: A huge upgrade from our older basic cooker. If the non-stick coating holds up, I'll have no regrets ever for spending the extra money for this superior machine.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome rice cooker
Reviewed in the United States on November 1, 2013
Style: 10-Cup/5 Auto MenuVerified Purchase
Let me start by saying this: I suck at cooking rice. This rice cooker, however, makes it super easy to always have fantastic tasting rice provided that you plan ahead a bit. Both the white rice and the brown rice setting work great, with white rice usually taking 20-30 minutes and the brown rice taking significantly longer (1 hour pre-cook soak, then about 1.5-1.75 hours to cook after the brown rice cook mode has been started).

In my experience with the SR-DF181 so far, I've found that taking the time to rinse/wash your rice thoroughly prior to cooking is very important (also, as the manual mentions, don't wash the rice in the cook pot... the dry rice is pretty abrasive) and if you have heavily chlorinated water or water with any sort of strong taste/smell, I'd recommend filtering the water you'll be cooking the rice in with a Brita pitcher or equivalent first so that the taste of the rice ins't impacted. For those complaining about poorly cooked brown rice, I think it may have something to do with the type of rice being used (i.e. there are probably some assumptions being made on the part of Panasonic). I've only experimented with Nishiki brand medium grain white and medium grain brown rice in the cooker thus far (both are a California grown Japanese style rice) and haven't had any issues.

Quick cleaning tip: after emptying the cooked rice from the cooking pot, leave the pot out or cooker open so that the residue in the pot can dry out. It's a lot easier to clean when you do this because nearly all of the residue in the pot will peel right off and can be thrown away. If you just toss the pot into a sink full of water for cleaning, then the moistened residue will become very glue-like and hard to remove.

Reviewed in the United States on July 29, 2022

Do you enjoy rice that dries out about 5 minutes after it’s cooked? Well, you’re weird, but you should definitely get this rice cooker!

This thing is a joke. The Keep Warm setting would more accurately be labeled Dry Up, because that’s what it does best. Makes rice and then lets it dry out asap, as if you unplugged it and left the top open. Truly amazing.

Spend a little more money on a decent rice cooker (you know the one, the $$$ one you want to get but aren’t quite ready to commit to) because it’s so worth it. This guy is trash. Or it will be, very soon, because you deserve good rice. You know you do.

5.0 out of 5 stars Can't buy a better steamer at this price
Reviewed in Canada on December 2, 2023
Style: 5-Cup/5 Auto MenuVerified Purchase
I purchased a Zojirushi Rice and vegetable steamer. It was over twice the cost of this one. It didn't result in any better rice or vegetable steaming wasn't any faster. I returned it.
This Panasonic has simple controls, and I like the way that you control the time you're vegetables are steamed by the amount of water you add. The steamer tray is quite big and the size of most larger steamers.
Fuzzy logic steamers like this take longer than just boiler units, but the rice turns out way better every time. Jasmine or white rice takes about 40 minutes but you do have the option of faster steaming with not quite as good results. This is one of the best rated price and vegetable steamers you can buy. For this low price, it's the best bang for your buck in a steamer.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome rice cooker and rice is cooked well
Reviewed in Canada on December 25, 2022
Style: 5-Cup/18 Auto MenuVerified Purchase
I have always loved this brand. I have owned numerous rice cookers in my life and learned from experience that a rice cooker can make a difference in the taste and texture of the rice. Some of my previous rice cookers cooked fast but the rice didn't come out as tasty. This rice cooker doesn't take an excessively long time and the rice is cooked beautifully. One feature I wish it had is to show the countdown time for the whole process. It only shows the remaining time when it's almost done so it's not easy to plan the cooking time for the dishes that go with the rice. But overall I am happy with this purchase.

5.0 out of 5 stars Closest to Japanese Rice Cooker
Reviewed in Canada on August 13, 2020
Style: 5-Cup/18 Auto MenuVerified Purchase
Great cooker. Unfortunately it is hard to get real Japanese rice where I live. I end up getting Kohoku rice and then after a few times using it turns out very tasty. Not perfect Japanese source rice but its the closest I can get. If your use to eating rice in Japan I highly recommend this cooker and the Kohoku rice. The fast timer works well for only like 20 mins instead of the slow 60 mins. Reasonable cost for what it can do as this has the "fuzzy logic" sensor which is best mainly for rice portions. For me this is a 99% rice maker for a family of 4, the other features I might use once in a blue moon. So get this if you do not want to pay a fortune for a rice cooker unless you get one from Japan itself. Average powerful rice cookers are close to 200-300 dollars which is a bit much honestly just because you can do more than just cook rice. Though rice cookers just stick to Japanese technology and you will be amazed in the difference. I got this on sale for 100 and have had good meals each time. Thank you Panasonic.
