So simple to use!
I couldn’t be any happier with my lil rice cooker. It’s so easy. 1 switch; On Off. I love the fill too marks on the inside of the pot (a little hard to read sometimes. The easiest way is just to fill a glass or something with water and pour to the appropriate line for the amount of water needed. Clean up is a breeze. No scraping, no sticking. I haven’t tried whole grain rice yet. The smallest model does not have a warmer.

small but mighty
a little smaller than the measurements and picture made me think it would be so when meal prepping i usually have to do two batches. however it cooks the rice perfectly and it's easy to clean and store

Small rice maker
Nice for small amounts, however the quality of the cooked rice is much nicer in the big Zo that I have had for years.

Lovely little rice cooker
It's a great little rice cooker. Follow the directions, use the measuring cup provided and let it go, it makes great tasting rice. I made steel cut oatmeal yesterday, it turned out fine but it overflowed a bit. I was not happy about that. It's also very easy to clean. I would recommend it, the size is perfect for 1 or 2 people. I did my research and wasn't sure if a rice cooker would work for me. I've been making rice on the stove for years but I'm glad I bought it. I originally wanted a more expensive one with more bells and whistles but I chose this one to see if I would use it often. So far I used it almost every day!

Quality and Reliability
There is a reason why they are a little more expensive than the average rice cooker

Messy
Sadly I will be returning this rice cooker. On my first use of cooking one cup of rice, the boiling water bubbled up to the lid and water spat out of the steam hole like crazy. It was a pretty big mess. The bubbles also collected around the lid, creating another mess. The rice came out okay. But the cleanup alone is enough to send it back.

best little rice cooker
this rice cooker does exactly as needed/expected. I like that it isn't confusing with too many buttons and options- just an on/off. for a 2 person household its the perfect size

Ideal for the basic rice cooker
We're not fancy people-- just needed a rice cooker to cook jasmine rice, and this is the ideal unit. Incredibly smooth cook, consistent after several uses so far (consistency is extremely important for me). Definitely recommend!

You get what you Pay For
Don't buy. Broke after exactly one year and 4 months. Barely used it maybe one or twice a month. Cheap garbage, I got what I paid for. Only has one year warranty.

NHS-06 -- GREAT for bachelor life
My NHS-06 is great for a bachelor. One-touch operation -- when the rice is ready, it turns off. I put the rice into my dish (vegetables, meat, sauces) and enjoy! And the Zojirushi reputation should mean a long life. GREAT online recipes will help me make more enjoyable dishes. Thanks!

I love my Zoji. I have wanted one for 17 years and I finally bought myself one for my birthday. It cooks rice perfectly every time!

Very happy
I cook rice often but my needs are very simple and I did not need anything fancy, just reliable. I was familiar with the Zojirushi brand from recipe forums and it was well-liked by ‘serious’ rice fans, and I can see why! I only needed the simplest model, but it is perfect for me; it cooks much faster than my old rice cooker and is much easier to clean. I like the Japanese rice cup too as it easily makes a ‘perfect portion’ without any fuss. The steaming function also makes great dumplings. Very happy with my choice!

Exactly as it should be
Makes rice reliably, easy to use, and will probably last forever
