I love my 10 cup Zojirushi. It's never burned a batch of rice.

If a good cup of cooked rice is all you need, most of the brands do this
without problem. Ease of use? You put in rice and water, plug in rice
cooker, press the button. How difficult is that?

buy taiwanese or chinese.

I am not familar with Chinese or Taiwanese rice cookers.
However I did use a Korean one for many years until I eventually
replaced it with a hi-tech fuzzy logic Japanese one.
It worked fine and made fine rice for many years.
So I see no reason why Chinese or Taiwanese ones shouldn't be
just as good either.

Shoot, didn't know they made electric rice cookers that
small. The smallest I've seen are the very basic (one button to
activate, automatically flips off when done) Aroma brand 3 cup rice
cookers.

I hear Zojirushi is great. I've got a 10 cup Hitachi fuzzy
logic one, it's very easy to use. You just put however many measuring
cups of rice you want, fill it with water up until the right line, and
press the button. It automatically switches to "warm" when finished.
It also has settings for brown rice, congee, etc. as well as a rapid
rice cook, which I've never tried. I love mine and it gets regular
usage, 4-5 times a week at least for several years now, no problems.

I use an old hand-me-down Panasonic Rice-o-mat rice cooker.
It doesn't have any digital read out. Put in the rice and
water and press the button and the rice is cooked perfectly
every time. However, inorder to prevent the cooked rice
from drying out in the rice cooker I do unplug the cooker after
the rice is cooked. If I want to reheat the rice it goes
into the Microwave otherwise the leftover goes into the
refridgerator. Digital rice cooker are better at keeping
cooked rice warm and moist for a longer period of time.
So if you are cooking for a group of people who are eating
at various of times and you want to maintain cooked rice
warm and moist for a couple of hours then one might want
to consider one of those hi-tech digital "fuzzy" rice
cooker.

It's not inexpensive, but I'm very happy with my
Sanyo ECJ-AC4E micro-p controlled 4 cup rice
cooker. I usu. make one cup at a time in it, and
I've used it a LOT. I like the very (!) durable nonstick
coating and the very heavy cookpot, as opposed
to the Zoji's et alia, whose pots are lightweight, dentable
and have fragile nonstick coatings.

I also have a 10-cup Zoji, but it's just too big for most of my
needs.

When I am cooking, I set the eating time. If you aren't at the table at the
prescribed time, too bad. I ain't keeping anything warm for anyone. The
microwave ain't difficult to use either.

The one I got as a gift requires spraying PAM in the bowl.
Other features I would like a non-aluminium bowl; non-stick bowl.

What does fuzzy logic in a rice cooker do?

I'd recommend national...I have one that's almost 30 years old and have
never had a problem with it.

We like our 5-cup Zojirushi. Never burns; rice always just right.

We also liked our 10-cup, 15-year old National until it died. Replaced it
with a new model and the rice burns on the bottom. Sent it back for
Panasonic to repair and the thing still is not right.

The best rice comes out of our 55-cup Rinnai gas rice cooker. g

Cooking good rice is easy and there's no excuse for a cooker that
can't do that. So my advice is just to get something durable. Avoid
electronic neuro fuzzy gizmos. They're what break first, and then all
you can do is buy a new one (a fact that, I'm sure, has not escaped
notice by the manufacturers). I use a National SR-XA05 that I got in
Shinjuku about 10-11 years ago. It can cook 1-3 cups, has a mechanical
timer and switch. I've used it continuously now (almost daily) and
have no complaints except that it doesn't do genmai. For that I just
use a regular pressure cooker. Oh, I guess the nonstick coating is
getting a bit worn. Clean gently.

I still have the Tatung rice cooker I brought with me (the kind that
needs water inside and outside.) It's built like a tank.

It doesn't have any digital read out. Put in the rice and
water and press the button and the rice is cooked perfectly
every time. However, inorder to prevent the cooked rice
from drying out in the rice cooker I do unplug the cooker after
the rice is cooked. If I want to reheat the rice it goes
