I have owned and used this for the past 6 months consistently. It is the best, most capable, easiest to use, useful rice cooker I have ever owned and it is not even close! I typically make 1.5-2 cups at a time but have made as little as 1 cup and as much as 3.5 cups. My favorite setting is the sushi rice setting as it is my favorite texture but have tired most of the other settings. If rice is a regular part of your diet this is a must purchase.
Pros:
- Best keep warm feature! Yes it has an extended keep warm feature but the regular keep warm feature will keep the quality for a solid 3 days with NO degradation of quality and the rice is still better than any reheated rice on day 4-5. The extended keep warm can theoretically keep it warm for even longer but why?
- More useful and easier to integrate into your life. The ease of use and perfect keep warm features mean that you can start a pot of rice in the morning and have it ready for dinner in the evening or whenever. The excellent keep warm and highest finished quality is a real game changer for meal prep.
- Perfectly cooked rice! Every single time from the grain on the top of the pot to the grain on the pot of the pot each is perfectly cooked and you have full control of what perfect means so if you like soft rice then choose that, if you like firm rice then choose harder or sushi. The quality of the finished rice is superior to every rice cooker I have ever had or tried and better than the vast majority from a pot or restaurant.
- The quick rice setting is Excellent! It is pretty fast at 33-45 minutes and has very good quality. The standard setting is 10/10 and the quick rice setting is still at 9.5/10.
- The GABA brown rice is a great feature. GABA brown rice makes brown rice even healthier and far more digestible. It tastes great and has a lot more of a regular rice texture. I highly recommend trying it.
- Very easy to clean. Quick wipe out with soapy water and wipe dry and you are good. I have left cooked rice in it for 2.5 weeks on the keep warm setting and it cleaned out easily still, a little more scrubbing but no problem still. Previous rice cookers I have had use a cheap aluminum pot but this is a very solid stainless steel with an EXCELLENT non stick coating.
- Excellent materials. Stainless steel pot and lid are heavy duty and are not going to warp or breakdown like a cheap rice cooker will. Induction heating gives incredibly even cook which makes a big difference to the finished rice and easy to clean nature. I can easily see this appliance being a workhorse for my family for +10 years easily.
- Perfect size for my family. I could make 5 cups of cooked rice which is enough to feed a good size group or a small amount which is enough for me and my two kids. If you need more capacity then get the bigger brother which can cook 10 cups which is a lot of rice!
- The song. It serenades you with a little twinkle twinkle as you start a pot of rice.
Cons:
- Price. Yes it is 3-6 times the cost of other rice cookers but you get what you pay for so save up and maybe eat out a little less then buy this. Ultimately it is worth the price since it will last 3-5 times a long as others and give you 2-5 times better rice consistently. Lesser rice cookers scorch the bottom and undercook the top so you will waste less of the finished product.
- Dedicated appliance. This is a dedicated rice cooker it is not an instapot or slow cooker but it does what it does perfectly. It does take up space to have another appliance on the counter but consider having it on directly on the table...
Final Verdict:
If you eat rice on the regular this is a must buy for me. I recommend it to my friends and family so yeah I would recommend saving up and buying it!

Very noticable difference in rice!
So, I had watched several reviews comparing the Zujorushi rice cookers with cheaper models. One in particular (Hot Thai Kitchen on YouTube) sparked my interest in maybe getting a Japanese rice cooker.... more specifically a Zojirushi. So, I did a lot of comparing features, reading reviews, seeing the best deals and ultimately settled on the NP-HCC10XH. I knew I wanted a smart rice cooker with the Neuro Fuzzy logic built in. I was also considerinf the added benefits of the induction heating and pressure cooking options. After my research, I decided I definitely wanted the induction heating feature but decided the pressure cooking feature likely wouldn't add a ton of value and would possibly overcomplicate user experience (wating for the machine to depressurize so you can open it) and overcomplicate the machine. The pressure valves, seal and everything related to that system seemed to be just more points of failure in the design. I am sure it is engineered well by Zojirushi, but it only seemed to benefit the system most when cooking brown rice. I cook white rice 99.9% of the time. So decided I'd save $100 and bypass that feature.Well, fast forward to today. My rice cooker arrived and I immediately unpacked it. I read the directions which were straight forward and descriptive. I had everything setup and cooking my first batch of rice in about 20 minutes. I just tried the regular white rice setting. Once I pressed start, the timer came up and indicated a cook time of about 56 minutes. Which is a while and one of the biggest complaints I see in reviews about the unit. But just keep in mind, this cycle includes a soak period, cook time and rest time. So when it is done, you can be sure it is cooked optimally and ready to serve.I bought this as my significant other is Chinese and we cook a lot of rice during the week. We had been using a $30 Aroma rice cooker. It wasn't bad but the rice always just seemed "off" to me. Maybe it seemed a little wet.... or it was undercooked. When I told my husband I was ordering a Zojirushi rice cooker, he didn't think we would honestly see that noticable of a difference.Well, this first batch of rice was absolutely perfect. I'll try to describe what I mean, but you just have to experience. The rice definitely wasn't wet. When I opened the rice cooker, there was just a bit of surface moisture from the steam on the grains. As I mixed the rice, any excess moister evaporated leaving perfect looking rice grains. The grains were all cooked through with the middle of the rice being just as soft as the outside of the grain. The flavor had definitely improved and there was just a nice chew and mouth-feel while eating it. It complimented the main dishes better and no longer just seemed to be an afterthought but was part of the meal. After eating a bowl, my husband said he didn't think he could go back to the old rice cooker now. We didnt even need to do a side-by-side comparison.Yeah, they Zojirushi cooker is expensive for a small kitchen appliance. But if you cook rice two to three times a week or more, it probably isn't a bad idea to consider adding one of these cookers to your kitchen. I certainly hope it proves to be durable and last for many years to come. Now I think I am going to be buying some brown rice to try in this.... and maybe even some oatmeal.

2) O produto veio bem embalado. A embalagem original, aquela que fica na gôndola das lojas. Foi reembalada em uma caixa de papel maior. Mantenho todas as embalagens pois posso utilizar se sentir necessidade de devolução em até sete dias, conforme Código do consumidor, ou mais dias estendida pela política da Amazon.
3) Um ponto negativo é a ausência de uma Nota Fiscal Eletrônica. Assim sinto-me desprotegido pois não conto com o mínimo de garantia de três meses conforme o Código do Consumidor.
4) O manual de instruções vieram em cinco línguas: inglês, francês, japonês, chinês e tailandês. Não há o PT-BR e nem o castelhano.
5) O produto conta com um relógio e uma bateria internos que a mantém funcionando. Para alterar a hora, é necessário plugar a panela. Aí temos um problema pois o plugue não é popular no Brasil. Necessário utilizar um adaptador (tipo Benjamin). Como a voltagem é de 120V, em vários Estados brasileiros (com voltagem 220V) será necessário comprar um transformador ou mudar os disjuntores em alguma tomada. É muito importante mudar o clock (relógio) pois é com base nele que o timer funciona.
6) Para alterar o clock basta tocar com dois dedos os botões seta para cima e para baixo ao mesmo tempo. Depois as mesmas setas alteram o horário. E agora não será mais necessário manter plugado a panela (isso ocorre com o relógio do carro).
7) Informo que a ela é dedicada a fazer só diversos tipos de de arroz (gohan, sushi, integral [brown rice], jasmine... (cada um com uma programação própria). Não é uma panela elétrica comum, não é possível alterar a programação. Só compre se você é um apaixonado por arroz. Talvez você queira comprar uma panela mais comum, com um único botão.
8) Assim sendo não é possível fazer o arroz no estilo brasileiro (com o agulhinha), com temperos tipo alho ou cebola refogados e com o arroz levemente frito. Não dá certo. Eu tentei. Outro tipos de arroz, como o jasmine podem ser feitos ao estilo do gohan. Ou seja, coloque o arroz na panela e a água até a medida indicada (há um indicador lateral para cada receita), somente depois coloque sal (se achar necessário), e talvez azeite. Nessa ordem. Assim dará certo.
9) Não encontrei tutorial de como utilizar tal panela em português no Youtube. É leitura em inglês com um dicionário no celular. Mas, uma vez aprendido, é muito fácil utilizar a arrozeira. E o gohan fica ótimo.
10) Para fazer o arroz integral saiba que ele se chama Brown na panela. Há duas programações: Brown (que faz o arroz em cerca de uma hora e meia) e Gaba Brown. Este último faz lentamente o arroz, mais de 3 horas são necessárias. Porém, nutrientes do arroz integral são ativados, incrementando-os em 150%. Gaba é sigla para gamma-aminobuturic acid.
11) Em todas as operações utilize o copo medidor que acompanha a panela. Ela tem a capacidade de 170ml. Todas as indicações de copos impressas na lateral da panela (e essencial para fazer os arrozes) tem por base essa medida.
12) Para acionar o Timer faça o seguinte: a) pressione Menu; b) pressione timer e selecione 1 ou 2 que aparecem na tela; c) pressione botões para cima ou para baixo para escolher a hora em que que o arroz pronto; por exemplo, se quer comer o arroz às 11:40h, esses números é que têm que estar indicado no visor digital. d) pressione Start. O timer não funciona para os programas Quick (gohan rápido), Mixed (gohan com mistura de grãos e legumes) e Sweet (arroz doce).
13) Se for fazer arroz de sushi utiliza-se o gohan comum mas a lavagem é mais cuidadosa em relação a gohan comum (veja instruções no Youtube). Para fazer o Mixed, primeiro coloque o arroz e depois a água conforme indicações na panela; só depois se coloca os outros ingredientes por cima.
14) Para fazer 2 copos (de 170ml) de gohan faço assim. Lavo o arroz. Coloco na panela. Coloco água filtrada até a indicação 2 na lateral da panela, indicação gohan (White Rice). Seco a parte externa. Coloco na "máquina" já plugada. Com o botão Menu escolho entre Quick, White Rice Softer, Regular ou Harder (prefiro Softer pois o gohan sai levemente mais úmido). Pressiono Start e terei o arroz pronto em cerca de 52 minutos.
14) Por fim, antes de fazer o arroz, o caldeirão deve estar seco por fora. E, após a feitura do arroz, é importante limpar tudo. A limpeza é mais fácil que as panelas elétricas e outras arrozeiras. Ela foi feita para facilitar a vida na cozinha com certeza.
